(2) - Film Review of X-Men Class

Hey guys. My name is Eman Hersey and this blog is about a film review. The film that I'm going to be reviewing is X-Men: First Class which is one of my favourite movies. This blog is created for my school assignment, so I hope you will like it.

The Trailer of the Movie:

The Summary of the Movie:

In the beginning of the film, we see a young boy revealing his magnetic powers in 1944. Erik Lensherr (the same boy with the magnetic powers) is grown up and plans to kill Sebastian Shaw because he was the one who killed his mother, so Erik wanted revenge on him. After a short period of time, he meets another mutant Charles Xavier, the one that met Mystique when he was a little boy and became good friends. When Erik Lensherr and Charles Xavier met, they also become best friends and their job was to find new mutants like them to teach them how to control their powers. But not all of the mutants were good. In fact, some of the evil mutants were: Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, Azazel and more. Their evil intention is to start a nuclear war to destroy the world and increase their abilities and rule the world.

Reviewing the Movie:

This movie has been officially rated 3 stars. There were some critics stating that the movie was a bit long and that there were some difficult moments in the dialogue such as not understanding some words that were said. But I would like to mention the good stuff about the movie such as: there is good action involved. It kept on the same old theme that all the 'X-Men trilogy', 'X-Men: Origins', 'X-men TV series' and the comics have. And last but not least, the whole cast was excellent, especially when it comes to the main co-stars which are James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender.

Evaluation - My Opinion

In my opinion, this movie was excellently filmed, including the script and the acting. If I would compare it with other superheroes movie, I would still choose this one because of the fact that I saw all the other X-Men movies, including all the episodes and the story keeps on going from one movie to the other and can be easily understood. Not to mention the actions. I think that it has a good action scenes in it. I also would like to emphasise on some characters that in my opinion were very good such as: 'Emma Frost' (January Jones). Her acting was very realistic and good. Even 'Mystique' (Jennifer Lawrence) was brilliant, especially those scenes when we see her shape-shifting. Although the shape-shifting was computer made, it was really good on her. I think that every actor and actress made their part really efficient and I wouldn't trade one actor with the other for sure !
