Last weekend, I managed a sneak a movie into my schedule. I went for the overdue X-Men: First Class. After so many seasons of X-Men, we are now going back into the past when it first started. X-Men: First Class starts with the scene where Erik Lensherr (Magneto) bends the fence of the German concentration camp when he is separated from his mother. On the other side of the world, the young Charles Xavier makes friend with Raven (Mystique), a shape-shifter.
As young men, they come together to help the CIA stop a potential world war, mastermind by a mutant Sebastien Shaw. During which, Charles and Erik becomes good friends and works closely with other mutants to capture their common enemy.
Unfortunately the difference in life experiences and views of the world eventually cause a rift between the two. They split up to set up a brotherhood and X-Men school. This marks the beginning of the war between the two friends.
Rating: 4 out of 5 fairy clouds. Despite the warning and bad review from others, I had actually quite enjoyed the movie. I could see the development of a strong friendship and brotherly love between Professor X and Magneto and shared the sadly that they must part in such a way. Overall, it is still a nice movie to watch when you have some time to spare over the weekend.
