Finally, an X-Men movie that strikes the perfect balance between story and action. Whereas other films have tried to focus on one or the other, Matthew Vaughn gets it right here as we see the beginnings of the X-Men and the early friendship of Professor X and Magneto. A cast that seems too good to be true helps (particularly Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult as Mystique and Beast). All said, I'm hoping this film does enough business to jump-start the franchise so we can see where these characters go from here.
