That First Class also offers up a decent narrative about the importance of self-love, family bonding and friendship gives it extra dimension -- even if the overall dramatic range only goes X to Z.July 14, 2015
In truth, the film is a very conventional summer potboiler repackaged in reasonably pretty, moderately crisp wrapping paper. In short, not quite groovy enough.July 14, 2015
Neither exhilarating nor entirely dismissible.March 11, 2016
Many of the scenes could have been trimmed, and there's a serious Hugh Jackman-shaped void in the comedy stakes, but for the most part, X really hits the spot.July 14, 2015
X-Men: First Class manages the neat trick of staying true to the superhero legend while also creating something fresh and exciting. This class graduates with top marks.June 27, 2011

Why be so harsh and long-winded about a superhero movie? Because it's an ambitious superhero movie.June 03, 2011
It uses the themes of the previous movies to build an intelligent, fast-paced, and highly entertaining prequel.June 03, 2011
This blazing "pre-boot" breathes new life into the sagging franchiseOctober 07, 2011
As X-Men films go, this one gets the job done and is certainly better than Last Stand or Wolverine. But there are still just too darn many X-Men.August 03, 2013
The climax is the biggest letdown, a giant hash of crosscutting and unremarkable (in an era in which we've seen everything) CGI.
