X-Men First Class Review

(From my ComicVine review)

X-Men First Class was a pleasent surprise for me as I expected this movie to turn out as a disappointment judging by previous comments, thoughts and so called "rushed" production.As many before me stated, the movie isn't completely a reboot, but a prequel for previous X-Men movies with sometimes major continuity errors like how did Xavier got paralyzed before being bald as he was walking at the end of  "X-Men Origins:Wolverine" and in the beginning of "X-Men 3".If you close your eyes upon these things than you'll find First Class the perfect summer kick in movie.Matthew Vaugn like always did a brilliant job on the movie,my only concern which turned ot half to be true was that they were so many mutants introduced whom weren't properly explored like for example Darwin, who was introduced and killed in no time, I just feel like his character was wasted or another good example is Emma Frost aka the White Queen who was there but had no significant role other than being Sebastion Shaw's b!tch, other than that I have no serious problem infact I loved that Azazel was kept mysterious and not much was revealed about him.Of course the movie was supposed to show where our favorite mutants were before the first X-Men movie, the show was stolen by the undineable chemistry between James McAvoy's Xavier and Michael Fassbender's Erik whom I found the perfect to fit the role of the master of magnetism. He was a great choice to fit into Ian McKellen's place. The movie is set duing the Cuban Missle Crisis, in 1962 but sometimes felt like our characters were in the present day due some scene like for example the strip scene of Angel Salvadore.The surprises cameos were nice as well especially Wolverine's "go f@ckyourself" statement which I found pretty hallorius. The main villains or antagonists of the movie were the Hellfire Club led by the crazy bastard Sebastian Shaw who had the ability to absorb energy with this slowing down his aging also.While he served as the main antagonist of the movie as he was the one to make Erik the bloodthirsty man he was, Azazel,Emma Frost and Riptide were also much significant as well.Xavier and Raven's relationship was something pleasent and unexpected.I loved how the two had this brother-sister/best friends relationship and even after siding with Erik, she was still loyal in some ways to Xavier which also makes me bring up the one major thing that was bugging me, that how the hell was Xavier okay with Erik taking the rest of the Hellfire Club members and  Mystique and not even try to stop them.Okay, let's pretend we haven't seen that.The last part of the movie was something we were (and I think we all can agree with this) waiting for, Erik finally becoming Magneto , the true master of magnetism and the true villain of Xavier.He formed his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants starting with Mystique, Azazel,Angel, Raptide and finally ending with the newly freed from prison, Emma Frost.
The movie I think farely deserved a 3.5 out of possible 5, the rest, the 1.5 goes away for the continuity errors and other plotholes which were small but a few of them was significant in one way or another.Can't wait for a sequel.

RAZOR rating : 7 ( out of 10)
