X-Men First Class:
It's my favorite movie of the summer so far. I liked it even more than Thor (which was super fun) and Super 8 (super nostalgic). It's an origin story, of how the X-Men came to be, set against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis. James McAvoy (as young Professor X) and Michael Fassbender (as young Magneto) are first class actors and have extraordinary charisma and chemistry together. My only complaint is January Jones as Emma Frost - brrr, can her acting be any more...frozen? Too bad this has been the lowest grossing X-Men movie so far. I would love to see more of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender together. Bryan Singer, who produced, had said that Professor X and Magneto are the Martin Luther King and Malcolm X of comic mythology. I think that's a very appropriate and interesting analogy. A-
