Following the classic Marvel mythology, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together with other mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known.

I find it funny that comics fans limit themselves to shallow lipservice and prevent themselves from enjoying films because a film isn't canonical. If X-men films were canonical, there would be 200 mutants, 6 parallel universes, 5 hours of back story and 11 sequels by now. The comics were ridiculous and demand updating. Or have people forgotten how hideously designed people like Jubilee and Juggernaut were? I'd rather watch something unique with similar characters and a credible script than be spoon fed a 2 decade old story about how a vampire looking geneticist used dinosaur men to resurrect an ancient, shape shifting deity, opposed by a couple of unwilling high school kids and their crippled professor for the 12 millionth time. Pandering to what has already occurred but anticipating it in a new medium will not advance 'hero epics'. Change is good, and if you reread some of these older comics, you might realize that they're just not as good as you remember them.

I like most of the x-men movies, but this one is my favourite. I like that it is rooted in real-world events (in a fantastical way), and the multi-lingual script gives it some great Tarantino-esque moments. Great casting and acting, not afraid to go for some pretty different portrayals of characters we know. Five thumbs up!

Fails to hold true to marvel canon. Havok is Cyclops' younger brother, and mystique is over 300 years old. To many failings for a comics fan to enjoy this movie. Go sit in the corner with wolverine: origins and Elektra, first class.
