X-Men: First Class (2011) Review
I have always been a big fan of the X-Men. I have seen every X-Men movie, collected the comics, and I used to watch the cartoon religiously. One thing that was never clear to me was the dynamic between Professor Xavier and his arch rival, Magneto.

Finally the story behind Xavier and Magneto’s past is being revealed in the new X-Men movie, First Class. I won’t ruin the movie for you, but there are some spoilers here so if you don’t want to know any of the plot, stop reading now! Read more
