I finally watched X Men First Class last night. It's a cracking little film.
I'm not sure what I was expecting but it surpassed any I may have unknowingly had. It kept wonderful visual continuity with the other X-Men films and fleshed out character backgrounds that had only been hinted at or been part of brief flashbacks. (I'm not up well enough on the comic books to compare stories from there.)
The casting was superb and the script had some great throwaway lines. The best line however came from a certain cameo, as not everyone has seen the film yet I won't go into detail, but I'm sure those who have seen it will know which bit a mean.
I guess there's enough scope for a sequel to the prequel, and if they make it as good as this it would be something to look forward to.
