X Men: First Class

Its an epic film, staring with a recap of little Eric arriving at the death camp and doing the gate thing, through to meeting Sebastian Shaw (aka Klaus Schmidt) then to Xavier Manor where a young Charles meets Raven (later to become Mystique).  It's an interesting story which at times contradicts the three parent movies of this prequel but it does its own thing with style and aplomb as we see how many of the future heroes and villains start out on their paths to their various destinies, plus a couple of surprises along the way, the film's only real expletive being uttered by the coolest cameo of all time.  Beast and Banshee work really well together and Havok is pretty cool too, it'll be interesting to see if there's a follow up movie that covers the lte 60's and early 1970's, as Origins: Wolverine has the late 70's covered and its follow up will most likely cover the 1980's
