Movie Review: X-Men: First Class

This latest installation of the X-Men series chronicles events leading to the formation of X-Men. The movie starts during and immediately after WWII. Charles Xavier meets the future Mystique, graduates from Oxford and then forms the collection of mutants known as X-men. The future Dynamo is discovered in a Nazi concentration camp by a Mengele type character played by Kevin Bacon.

Unlike many sequels, this film is probably the best of the series. Similar in talent, scope and story line to the latest Star Trek sequel.
