Not at all a bad movie, and certainly a drat sight better than any X-Men movie released to date, First Class still leaves a lot to be desired.

The story is well paced, but lags toward the end. No characters aside from Magneto, Xavier and Mystique are fleshed out to any real extent and do not even get me started on the loving see-saw of awful writing that is pixie. There are many parts in the film where we're left asking questions as to the motivation of the characters and writers, and many instances of very lazy writing, notably toward the end. In fact, the end was easily the worst part of the film and is very reminiscent of X3.

Overall, it's a good film made meh by lazy writing and half-delivered performances. Magento's accent switches from German to British to Irish.

3/5
