I like a lot this new movie on X-Men, the storyline introduces us into the youth of the characters.


Have you noticed how many European actors are in the movies on X-Men? This is very good to me!



Back to home after having seen it, I confirm again: Magneto, the mutant with such a past, but so strong to survive for his revenge, is my favorite character, thanks also to the charming Michael Fassbender who is not afraid to show pain and tears, together with strenght!  Both Ian McKellen and Michael are brilliant as Magneto, even if so different in manners and physique!

James McAvoy is lovely, always so sweet in the roles he plays, but also so strong in his own particular way, from Shameless to X-Men I admire how he plays his characters, very smart man! You can't do nothing but find him adorable.

I like the way the plot tells us how Charles and Erik meet, the scene in the water is amazing.

Rose Byrne is so sweet and it's good to see her, (she was the best element in Troy to me)!


Kevin Bacon, well is Kevin Bacon, the man you love to hate, very good in his role!


Short role for Nicholas Hoult, but in line with other characters he played. I'll keep an eye on him!


The ladies mutants are charming: January Jones, Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz.

A funny cameo (totally unexpected) and I've recognized some actors I've liked in other movies: for example, it's good to see nice Jason Flemyng, unrecognizable here! And Olek Krupa plays the Soviet Captain.


Anyway, the movie has at least two weak points:
- it's slow in some scene, or it's better if I say some characters are too slow while there is danger around, maybe it's fault of some special effects,
- the Italian dubbers are not too good in these last years, I started to watch movies in original languages, it's hard not to listen the real, beautiful voices of the actors.



Would like to share opinions with other fans of X-Men. Your comments are welcome!
