X-Men: First Class

British producer turned writer and director Matthew Vaughn continues to impress with this successful prequel that outshines the original films. The story of Professor X and Magneto are told how they became allies before turning enemies in a fight for acceptance from the humans. Vaughn and his team give the X-Men franchise a kick ass James Bond treatment with a stellar cast. The film has the elements of a great Bond film and then some including the dashing hero, beautiful girls, formidable villains and plenty of action and special effects. Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy star with a solid support cast that includes Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Bacon, Rose Byrne and January Jones amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
