Director: Matthew Vaughan
Starring: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, Kevin Bacon & January Jones
The plot for the film includes Nazi doctors, the Cuban missile crisis and mutant superheroes. It's an odd mix but it works very well indeed. Whilst the movie has many fine action sequences, it's core is essentially about the friendship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr aka Professor X and Magneto. There is also a splendid turn by Nicholas Hoult as mad scientist, Dr Hank McCoy.
The style of the film & to some extent the plot, mimics the early Bond movies of the 1960's. This is no bad thing, giving the X-men film franchise a fresh approach.
The movie exudes retro sophistication and Vaughan's confidence as a director has clearly grown since "Kick Ass".
A thoroughly enjoyable and accomplished superhero film. First class!
