between the two that starts the eternal war between Professor X's
X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood.
Review:
It
is a very good film. It manages to be funny, sad, beautiful without
actually having too much of a plot line to follow. Well done! Its so
well shot and has such good acting that it fools you into thinking
that the plot is amazing! And then you're like WAIT. That's shit!
And
yet I love it. Its now in my top 100 for sure. Which is ridiculous!
Especially seeing as I absolutely hate how they do Mystique. It's so
Stupid. Stuuupid.
Oh,
but, Emma Frost in her undies is sexy as hell. Michael Fassbender is
an amazing actor in everything ever and this is no exception. His
eyes are beautiful and hold so much emotion when he talks of his
past. His face is calm and shows his hard background. Even when
saying the shortest lines he makes them perfect. I could so see him
growing into Ganda- I mean older Magneto portrayed by the fantabulous
Sir Ian McKellen.
Also,
why are James' lips so red? Its beautiful, but why?

'Xavier:
There is so much more to you than you know. Not just pain and anger.
There is good, too. I felt it. When you can access all of that, you
will possess a power no one can match. Not even me.
Overall
Rating: 3.5/5 (I want a sequal!)
