This film is part of the X-men universe from Fox. This is the second last movie of the series with next years' New Mutants being the last, as Disney has bought Fox and will end the series. This is the fourth movie of the First Class arc of the X-men universe of movies.



In 1992, a space shuttle is stuck in space. Professor X sends the X-Men to rescue the ship. During the rescue, Dark Phoenix force enters Jean, she is now imbued by the cosmic powers. Eventually, the force starts to exhibit itself in various ways. However, those ways are destructive and the government gets involved to try to stop her. Can Jean get control of the force?



I didn't give away the background story of Jessica Chastain's villain role. The trailers make no mention of her and her powers. So I will not either.

I actually liked this movie a lot. Maybe because I went in with such low expectations. The story was quick and does summarize a bit of the X-Men universe. A fitting end of to the Fox X-Men story. Unfortunately, it didn't get the release it needed, more of a February or October release may have saved its box office performance.

Go see if you are an fan of the X-Men film series.

X-Men:First Class - X戰警:第一戰

X-Men:First Class (X戰警:第一戰) is an 2011 film from Fox and Marvel. The movie stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Rose Byrne. The supporting cast includes January Jones, Oliver Platt, and Kevin Bacon. Since this was a team film, there were many others, but too many to list. The movie is a prequel to the other films released by Fox. Essentially making it a reboot movie. But the movie had Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn in cameo appearances.

In the ancient days of the 1940s and 1960s, mutants were just starting to come into existence. The movie tells the story of how Xavier and Magneto because who they are in the future. Magneto is found in the concentration camps of Poland and experimented on. Magneto than sets out for revenge against these people. Xavier is brought up in high class upstate New York and takes in Raven, a homeless mutant that can shift change. They both develop their skills and eventually meet and team up to form a secret gov't group of mutants. However, Magneto's need for revenge and Xavier's never kill mentally come to a head during the cuban missile crisis. Which sides will the mutants take, go with Xavier or go with Magneto.

The movie was very good, but also a little disappointing at the same time. You have to have extreme circumstances to make evil people. In the case of Magneto, it was there. I think they needed someone human than Fassbender. I didn't think he was evil enough looking. Kevin Bacon was also pretty good in this film.
