First Class

A couple weeks ago, I went to go see X-Men: First Class with a friend. I'd been looking forward to it, but I think it really exceeded expectations! Since, I've read a number of good and scathing reviews, but I maintain that it's fantastic!

Considering that X-3 and Origins: Wolverine turned out to be incredibly disappointing (read: godawful. Ohmygod, I wanted to claw out my eyeballs), I'm so glad this movie was good. The amount of character depth in Raven (Mystique) and Erik (Magneto) was phenomenal, and all of the characters brought something different to the table. Apparently, none of them can speak Russian to save their lives (one of the friends I saw it with speaks Russian), but that's okay, because everything else - the acting, the fighting, the cinematography - was magical.

I would highly recommend it. In fact, I can say that with confidence because I saw it thrice.

Plus, who could say no to a James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender bromance? Not me.
