87% X-Men: First Class

Extraordinary and awesome! It delivers great action, humor, effects and a strong connection between heroes, villains and those developing in between. The acting is top notch. Delivery from every actor is at it's best, more so from Mystique, Beast, Xavier and Magneto.The story is more character based than action, however the action sequences are still superb. Speaking of Moira McTaggert, Rose Byrne is both comely and convincing in the role, and almost every other actor is perfectly, one might almost say forcefully, cast. James McAvoy brings a kind of laddish charm to Charles Xavier that he mixes nicely with both decency and na?vet?, and Michael Fassbender's nascent Magneto is relentlessly, even heart-breakingly, compelling. The younger cast all impress, though particular praise must go to Oscar-nominee Jennifer Lawrence as the petulant but pitiable Raven/Mystique. Former child star Nicholas Hoult is also outstanding as the troubled Hank McCoy, and perhaps the most surprising kudos must go to teenage dream Lucas Till, who conveys the particular anti-social asshole-hood of the turbulent Alex Summers very convincingly indeed.The biggest letdown in the movie, acting-wise, is January Jones as Emma Frost. True, she is appropriately ravishing, there can be no denying that, but she lacks the... the zing of the written character.I was little surprised twice what I saw two actors (I can't tell you who they are) from X-Men trilogy appeared brief in this prequel film.
