Review: X-Men: First Class

You’re working with a franchise that has four movies already released, and is based upon a comic book franchise that has run for decades and has released literally thousands of issues and created dozens of spin-offs. Given all that history, all that expectation, all those different fans wanting something specific and unique from the movie you are intending to produce: what do you do? You create a basic storyline rooted in universal human emotions and include unique details to please each of the different audiences, and in my opinion, that is what director Matthew Vaughan and the cast of X-Men: First Class accomplished.

For specific reasons, hit the jump.
