X-Men First Class Review

I have just finished watching X-Men First Class and was impressed with it.  It was by far the best X-Men movie to date.  In the movie you get to see how Magneto and Dr. X become friends.  Magneto believes that he was the only one that was gifted.  As for Dr. X he finds out early when he is a child.  Mystic (the blue chick) meets Dr. X when they are only kids.  Magneto meets Kevin Bacon (the guy from Hollow Man) and is the main cause for Magneto for realizing his potential.  Kevin Bacon has a bigger role in the movie but it may spoil it if I say what it is.  It was cool to see Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) for a scene, although the theater's applaud was not needed.  The effects in the movie are not too cheesy.  The music, except for the trailer, are a bit boring.  There seems to not be any epic music through out the movie.  It would of liked it if they used the previous actors for Magneto and Dr. X but it would not have worked well with them looking old.  The movie includes a few twists (the main one being when Magneto steels Kevin Bacon's helmet).  The movie ends with Magneto and Dr. X on their separate paths.  There will need to be a sequel to connect the ties of the first X-Men movie (the one that sucked that had Sabertooth in it) with this prequel.  With all this, I would give the movie a 79%.
