More could have been done to build up the wider tensions for the finale.Īside from Shaw and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), the rest of the cast are not fleshed out.
The climactic battle is centred around the Cuban missile crisis, and though the world is on the brink of nuclear war, the final battle felt like just another fight.
Similarly, there is a nice bond between Beast and Mystique, though it is perhaps wishing for too much for to develop their relationship as well. Their philosophical differences were prime material for development, though it felt a little squeezed out. We see them meet, we see Xavier helping Lensherr to increase his power, and then we see their parting. I felt more could have been done to show the growing bond between Xavier and Lensherr. Whilst the film cracks along at great pace, there were elements which would have benefitted from more screen time. McAvoy is just as good as Lensherr's friend and the X-Men's mentor. A younger and angrier performance than Ian McKellen's excellent portrayal. Fassbender gives a strong performance as the man who will be Magneto. The action is well handled and the final battle is entertaining. The pacing is very quick and Matthew Vaughn packs in a lot in that running time. Whilst the film is over two hours long, the time flies by. We see the beginnings of Professor X (James McAvoy) and his X-Men, and Magneto's (Michael Fassbender) Brotherhood of Mutants. In a nutshell, Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) wants to start World War III so that mutants can rise and humans can fall.
#Xmen first class amazon movie
This is a well made movie and has a great deal of replay value. If there were a comic inspired movie out there to rival Marvel Avenger's this could be it. The cast is good the effects brilliant and a very good story. In closing this is an amazing superhero hero movie on par with the original two Xmen movies if not better.
When the two friends finally go there seperate ways the pain in Magneto as he realises his friend will not join him is evident. The rest of the mutants just sort of follow along with the exception of the key bad guy Sabastian Shaw played by Kevin Bacon who brings Magneto and Professor X together. But it is Fassbender that steals it for me from his small and fleeting one liners to the intensity as he uses his powers to pull a nuclear submarine from the ocean beneath him he is truly captivating when on screen and the chemistry between he and Macavoy is something to be seen. Macavoy is brilliant as a young Professor X and carries himself with a little swagger as he attempts to chat up college girls at the beginnig of the movie to the paitient individual we met in the fist film when he is helping to train the original Xmen. In the original Xmen movies we gather the two men were once friends but this movie shows the level of the friendship from there first meeting to the ultimate opposite outlooks that tear there friendship apart. The movie concetrates on the relationship between a young Charles Xavier played by James Mcavoy and a young Erik Lehnsherr played be Michael Fassbender. Firstly had he of done X3 it could have been amazing and the franchise would have carried on, or secondly this movie would not have been made and that would have been a real pitty. I heard somewhere that the guy who directed this was offered Xmen 3 but turned it down as he didnt think he was ready for such a big movie. I Didnt need to be this movie is incredible.
#Xmen first class amazon plus
Xmen Origins Wolverine was good if not a little predictable plus I felt it went over much old ground that had been covered in X2 so I was a little cautious with this one when it came out. I enjoyed the first two Xmen movies but was less then impressed with the third installment.
