Karakterlerin eski hallerini ve nasıl bu hale geldiklerini anlatan film, aksiyon bakımından gayet yeterli ve verdiği duygularla birlikte izlemesi keyifli bir film.

In the long line of Superhero origins movies this is probably my favourite one? That ending was totally baddass for sure.

But actually this very pacing made this movie one of the most entertaining superhero movies I've ever seen. Also, all these flaws are only in the first half of the movie as I said and they are nothing if we compared them to the many positives of this movie; the visuals are stunning, all the performances are great (specially from McAvoy and Fassbender as well as their characters), Magneto's dramatic scenes in this movie maybe are the best in the entire franchise, the cheesiness in this movie is amiable and amusing, even the humor gets much more better in the second half of the movie. the action sequences are stylish and the plot is simple but strong. without a doubt it's one of my favorite X-Men movies.… Expand

The first movie in this franchise that I'd call GREAT, X-Men: First Class thrives with very down-to-earth characters, the best being Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr.

So, even without knowing much about the characters or their fictionalI am not very used to films that have characters from the comic book universe as their theme, but the quality and impact that some have had makes them a mandatory visit. So, even without knowing much about the characters or their fictional stories, I decided to watch the X-Men franchise films. This decision was followed by some reading about characters and films. I tried to follow more or less the chronological sequence of events starting with prequels, in order to better understand what I was seeing. Thus, this film was not one of the first to be released but it is one of the ones that focuses on the origins of the group.

In this film it is revealed how the young Charles Xavier, still associated with Erik (future Magneto), begins to try to help, teach and train other mutants, forming the original X-Men. It is a film that tells us a lot about the birth of the X-Men universe and is particularly important for understanding others, I think. I am not a connoisseur of the Marvel universe to give a more grounded opinion about this, or how this film mirrors or rewrites the fictional characters' characters, but I admit differences between the film and the original comic.

Personally, I liked the general work of the script: each character has their time to develop, some more than others according to their relevance, but I didn't feel that there were too many characters or left out. The film also has good dialogues and it is noted that good written material was given to the actors. The film has a pleasant pace, develops quite well and grows in interest and intensity until the end. On the other hand, the film fails to be too imaginative at times, and the final sequence, although epic, seems very unbelievable.

As for the cast, the film has the participation of several renowned actors who come to add their names to the list of notable actors who gave life to Marvel characters: the highlight, for me, goes to James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, responsible for giving life to the characters of Xavier and Erik. The way in which each actor approaches his character is very interesting, both of which seem like two sides of the same coin: McAvoy gives us a highly intelligent, idealistic and motivated Xavier, while Fassbender hands us a cautious, suspicious Erik, disenchanted with humanity and disbelieving human goodness. Kevin Bacon is another actor who deserves a highly positive note for giving us the villain, Shaw. Bacon is one of those actors who seems cut out to bring great villains to life and doesn't disappoint here. Jennifer Lawrence did not do so well: despite being elegant and beautiful, and achieving a positive performance, she took on a character who is permanently in the shade and rarely has time to show herself. This is unfair, given that she plays an important role in the development of the plot. With no room for more, the actress did what she could.

Technically, it is a film that stands out for the high quality of the visual effects and CGI, and for the intensity and grandeur of the action and fighting scenes. It is clearly visible where the budget money was spent. This film, too, sometimes feels like a video game and not something real, but the quality of what is offered to us is so good that it is not difficult to forget that and let ourselves be carried away. The film also has good cinematography and makes good use of color, light and shadow. Well done and well edited, it also has good sets and costumes, which were able to recreate the Sixties relatively well, and I think it is fair to also greet the makeup department.… Expand

.
Good : This is the best X-Men movie till date, and if Dark Phoenix is the final movie telling the story of the main characters, then I am sure that it will be the greatest X-Men film Fox ever made. I had watched two good and two rubbish X-Men films, before I watched this. And right off the charts, I got the most amazing X-Men movie till date. What isn't there in this movie? The actions are pretty good, the casting is amazing, the performances are great and most importantly, the story is excellent. Matthew Vaughn captures the perfect nostalgic tone for a movie set in the 60s. Everything looks perfect in that respect. This is perhaps the first X-Men movie which felt a lot grounded than the previous ones. We get invested in the plotlines involving Xavier and Magneto, and, Xavier and Raven. Their parts of the story have been well directed and developed. In the end, you feel that you have cared for the characters that are there from the beginning to the end, at least the main ones. The chemistry between the main characters is great. The first two films were good, but Xavier and Magneto never felt like they could have such a great backstory. This movie made the characters permanently likeable for me. Especially Magneto. This movie has the best portrayal of Magneto in the entire series. This, in fact, is HIS movie. And yet, it manages to deliver a lot in other parts too. James McAvoy kills it as young Xavier. Michael Fassbender owns the role of young Magneto. Jennifer Lawrence does her best as Raven till date, and has the most compelling looks as the character. Kevin Bacon as Shaw gives us one of the better villains of the series. I have never found the villains of any of the X-Men films so compelling. Magneto was fine in the films we got by this point and beyond, but just fine. Others were just a meh. Shaw works perfectly as a villain for a movie of this kind. Unlike other X-Men films before this, it is really deep. It gives a complete and excellent justification for Xavier and Eric's rivalries, while being rich in character development. It gives us a very good bonding between the characters and shows us a very great side of their friendship before shattering them into pieces, which was dramatic in a good sense and had a huge emotional impact. The mutants being accepted in the human society has been a recurring theme in these films. But none of them have been so compelling as in this one. It has been treated superficially and serves as a plot device but we do not buy it completely in other films. This is not the case here. Lastly, there's a cameo; perhaps one of the best ever. That single cameo is leaps and bounds better than X-Men 3 and Wolverine 1. .
.
Bad : Not so big issues, but there's a slight inconsistency with what happens towards the end of this film and the beginning of X-Men 3. This is perhaps the most generic prequel problem, but I can give it a pass because X-Men 3 was a blant f**kery at best. This movie is the reason we're getting Dark Phoenix, and if it doesn't turn out to be great, this movie is to be blamed .... kind of. .
.
Conclusion : This movie is an excellent superhero film in the retrospect and in the present date too. It has a very deep story with a whole bunch of likeable characters and full of emotions, action and grounded themes. It does nothing to disappoint. McAvoy, Fassbender and Lawrence prove to be the standout performers. .

The casting is memorable thanks to that scandalous cameo from Hugh Jackman (in 'X-Men First Class' you can see the easiest way Hugh manages to make money). The overall acting is great. There are a lot of new characters introduced and a lot of unavoidable ones that we see evolving. Scenario is quite easy and effortless even if some stagings are really worth the detour.… Expand

'X-Men: First Class' is great fun. I felt entertained throughout with nothing bothering me whatsoever, with the score and the cast particularly standing out. I will say it starts stronger than it ends, but that's not to say it isn't all enjoyable because it certainly is.

James McAvoy is very good as Charles Xavier, while Michael Fassbender is excellent as Erik Lehnsherr. Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence and Kevin Bacon were three others who I liked watching too. Back to the score, it's tremendous - some parts reminded me of the outstanding theme of television's 'The Crown'.

I was feeling the decline across the preceding four releases, but thankfully this regains the series' footing and then some. Intrigued to see where it goes from here. Onwards to 'The Wolverine'*! *watching in release order

I thought it will just keep beating a dead horse that they have in the name of a plot. But this one takes a good step. It is set in the past, back when the X-Men was formed. Magneto is played by Michael Fassbender this time and he's actually a better actor than Ian McShaine in my opinion for playing Erik.

The opening scene of Erik being taken to the concentration camp and then he's brought to the operator's office was chilling. Meanwhile Charles and Raven are also shown to have a better life, which clearly defines the difference between the two upbringings that Professor X and Magneto had. While Charles and Raven had the luxury of choosing to have a good life where they could choose values and ethics, Erik on the other hand never got the chance to do this, and rather had to spend his life looking to revenge the man who killed his parents in front of him.

Finally Charles and Erik team up to stop Schmidt, who had teamed up with Emma Frost (finally she made an appearance!), Riptide and Azazel. They also start assembling their team to stop him, and even Wolverine comes for a cameo. Finally the old X-Men team is made, and then while we are still getting attached to the characters, half of them get murdered instantly by Schmidt's team of mutants. The remaining ones train in an awesome looking montage and get ready to take on Schmidt.

This movie also gives a much, much better explanation for Charles being on a wheelchair, unlike Origins which showed him to walk even back then. And this movie also had the most satisfying ending out of all the X-Men movies made to date. The only reason I'm reducing one point is because of how long it took for the good events to take place. Most of the time it just showed Magneto talking around in German and some random strip club events. Other than that I really like this movie. Would definitely watch again.… Expand
