X-Men: First Class (2011)



I've pretty much liked all of the X-Men movies, and as an origins story, X-Men: First Class does a great job.

January Jones has been added to my short list of infatuations (along with Rachael McAdams and Amy Adams), and she was great here, both from a sexual presence standpoint, as well as being able to hold the character. I've been meaning to check out Mad Men for sometime, and am more inspired to now.

McAvoy and Fassbender kept me engaged throughout. In a lot of ways, I'd almost say this came across similar to Batman Begins, wherein we get a seedier more down-to-earth telling of the mutant world, especially with Fassbender and all of the Nazi background. You really get to see where his anger comes from.
