X-Men: First Class

Released: June 1, 2011
Director: Matthew Vaughn
The fifth X-men film to be made and the silly sods still haven't learnt the lesson. There are always too many mutants to keep the story coherent. The story moves along at a nippy pace, with excellent performances from all of the leads, standout is Michael Fassbender, but it's difficult viewing when the first 45 minutes of the film is character exposition. It's a nice tip of the hat to the success of Mad Men and stylishly done, but it goes a bit far when Don Draper's wife turns up just to spend the whole film showing off in her pants. All in all, it's a good start to the Summer Blockbusters that thankfully doesn't just smash up the scenery for cheap thrills. 
Here's your crib sheet:
Best Bit: Michael Fassbender, steals his scenes, loses track of his accent a bit.
Worst Bit: Too Many Mutants
Say This: It was a pretty fun way to spend an hour and a half, a bit slow to get going. Luckily the most predictable bit was the cameo.
Don't Ask: I wonder how they convinced McAvoy to shave his head...
Nerdy Extra: Why would Kevin Bacon's hat have an M based design?
