X-Men: The New Class
Lissa Coffey
Grade: B
| The newest X-Men movie is a prequel to what we have seen so far. You don’t have to know the other movies or characters to understand this one, but it definitely makes it more enjoyable. Especially with cameos by Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn.
This is a great cast, led by James McAvoy as Professor X. Rose Byrne is Moira, fresh off her star turn in Bridesmaids. It’s all in fun, with some nice messages about loyalty and friendship. Really cool to see the “history” of the X-Men. Fans will be particularly pleased – but this is a good movie for any fan of action or sci-fi. |
