First Reviews of 'X-Men: First Class' Say Prequel is 'a Huge Home Run'

Marvel

"X-Men: First Class"

The first reviews of X-Men: First Class are starting to emerge and the word?is bordering on astonishing.

After X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, who could blame?anyone for thinking this was another cheap cash-grab that was going to not?be very good, to put it mildly. Apparently we should all act like Daredevil?and have no fear, is the message that is telegraphing out.

?It?s a huge home run,? says Collider.

HeyUGuys actually compares the movie to J.J. Abrams??Star Trek reboot and?says, ?The talented screenwriting duo of Jane Goldman and director Matthew?Vaughn have made a fantastic effort here to bring the '60s age of civil?unrest and cold world paranoia successfully into a comic book milieu, and?weave what is essentially a period, character-based (a term which don?t?normally spring to mind in such a genre) espionage thriller with big action?spectacle thrills.?

And you can?t leave out Hitfix?s very thoughtful first, um, thought: ?It?uses your expectations about the genre to set you up one way, then time and?again, reaches for something a little bit more perverse or a little bit more?eccentric or a little bit more heartfelt X-Men: First Class?is a genuinely?good movie, not just a good superhero movie.?

Many sites are singling out James McAvoy as Professor X, Michael Fassbender?as Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Raven and?Nicholas Hoult as well; it seems?like almost everyone is getting some love from some quarter, showing?audiences could end up having their favorite moments and character.

The movie comes out June 3.
