Brief Synopsis: "Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time.

    Sir M Hayes XIV75 - Every bit as good as the first. Fassbender was amazing as Magneto. I liked Bacon as Shaw. Wasn't thrilled with some of their choices for the "first class", that and they un-Irished Banshee.
    Drezzy65 - the majority of it is on par with the first movie and, at times, on par with the second, but the whole thing starts to fall flat quickly without any one character or performance standing out like Hugh Jackman/Wolverine
