(2011, Matthew Vaughn)
Okay so if you actually like comics and the X-men then breathe a sigh of relief: director Matthew Vaughn attempts to render the origin story of the X-men intelligible in film form. He has, in large measure, achieved this. He has treated the basic story of Magneto and Professor X's initial partnership as more of a spy movie rather then a superhero film and he has tried to keep the essentially human and moral story of the comics intact. Quality performances by Kevin Bacon, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender. Decent effects and finally (!) some good costuming. I enjoyed this thoroughly watchable film. For purists it is still totally non-canonical but what do you expect?! (6/7)
