X-Men: First Class

X-men: First Class is not a continuation of the previous X-Men movies. It is actually a flashback of how The X-Men started or originated.

The movie focuses in the history of Professor X (James McAvoy) and Magneto’s (Michael Fassbender) relationship before they became enemies, and as well a s the first young recruits of X-Men – Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Angel (Zoë Kravitz), Darwin (Edi Gathegi), Havok (Lucas Till), and Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones).

All in all the movie has great cinematography and visual effects, only that the movie was rather short and they could have elaborated more. The cast were great. Truly one of the ingredients of making a good movie is by having a good set of casts to do the roles.

Most of the shots in X-men: First Class was taken in England and some parts of the United States. The movie was released last June 1, 2011 in United Kingdom and June 3, 2011 in United States and Canada.
