X-Men: First Class

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
While I would’ve liked a bit more period stylization—and have some nitpicking quibbles about characters, accents, and power inconsistencies—this 1960s X-prequel (hilariously tying into the Cuban missile crisis) is an emotionally grounded, wildly satisfying (albeit X-continuity-contradicting) origin story, full of explosive action and fun nerdbits.
