where it all began

This is the very definition of beginning. A reboot is sometimes a good turn for a franchise so big because it doesn't get any bigger nor higher. Scaling it down to its roots adds a more refreshing tune to it. This one has the perfect lead characters to do it. When it all comes down to it, Charles and Erik are the epitome of the X-men series. One represents reason and the other represents logic. McAvoy seems flawless, reasonable and believable as Charles Xavier on the other hand Fassbender's equally balance dark and lighter side adds the perfect combination between what each of them represents. What i like about the whole reboot is that it somehow refreshes my vision. Vaughn adds a new dimension to the franchise that you normally expect big explosions and flashy superpowers, what he does is humanize this creatures who we almost forgotten they are human beings in the first place. Other than a few awkward juvenile antics from the first class I've got nothing but praise for this movie.. Very first class indeed
