X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

Genre: Action Adventure Drama Sci-Fi Thriller

Direction: Matthew Vaughn

Leads: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence

This movie has taken the entire X-Men series to a high point! The first three movies (the original trilogy) were good but the direction was only okay and they had a bit immature take on the concept of mutants. Personally, I always thought X-Men is just another superhero movie for children. But Wolverine raised the bar a little. But this movie has blown beyond my expectations. Of course, my expectations had already grown when they declared that Matthew Vaughn would be directing this but I never imagined such brilliance in a superhero movie. Till now, the only superhero movie that made me feel it's for grown-ups, was The Dark Knight, and to some extent, Iron Man. And now, this has leveled its way up to the adults too. It falls right in between these two. Truly, first class movie!

James McAvoy is already one the top-10 actors in my list. And he succeeded in keeping his mark. Apart from the great direction, the movie has stunning has stunning storyline, script-writing, cinematography and great pace. The depiction of the entire concept of evolution finally made its way to me. The movie is a perfect mixture of action, drama and comedy. Trust me, you have never seen "X-Men" this way before. And I do recommend you watch the trilogy before you go for this, because the movie mainly works on the Deja Vu feeling when we see the training home the first time, the Cerebro, the moments when you realize how the things you saw in the trilogy actually happened and how it all connects. This movie, I tell you, will just make you an X-Men fan without fail.
