This year's summer superhero extravaganza continues with Matthew Vaughn's X-Men trilogy prequel.
I just happen to watch this yesterday and this is what I have to say: X-Men First Class has to be the best Marvel movie I have ever seen in years - in terms of depth.
Yes, I said it. Even better than the first Iron Man and the first Thor movie last month.
X-Men First Class mixes colorful American history, great storytelling, compelling acting, character development and simple-yet-astonishing special effects to create a fun, smart, and emotionally engaging action-drama about mutants trying to find their own niche in the world during the 1960s Cuban missile crisis of World War II.
