Review: Film

X Men: First Class, dir Matthew Vaughan with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, Kevin Bacon

X-Men:First Class charts the beginning of the X-Men saga. Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, Professor X and Magneto, are arch-enemies but once they were close friends and worked together. X Men is another film from the Marvel stable, the world can't move at the moment for super-heroes. X-Men: First Class is stylish, fun and always entertaining, ‘I’m mutant and I’m proud’........Wolverine, Jason Fleming, makes a one-line appearance, speaking volumes, while James McAvoy as Charles, treads a fine line between camp-real and reality, as he tunes-in to others’ thoughts. Similarly, Lensherr’s helmet, Michael Fassbender, bears more than a pasing resemblance to that other piece of famous metallic headgear, worn by the ultimate dark lord, Darth Vader. The action is pacey, strong; the style is 60s cool in tone and design, and all makes for a thoroughly good romp…..
