Strengths
The flick is fast paced,cleverly scripted with some right dose of psychological and emotional fact.No loose holes -loop holes . James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender no where near to previous cast but made the role memorable..Both are energetic and their chemistry is fantastic. Other cast have done enough job and performance is solid.
Recruitment scene of mutants, ship blast scene, and climax stunts are brilliant. Action scenes are well choreographed with some stunning visuals. Special effects are laudable. Movie music is apt for Sci-fi /super hero movies. Photography is attractive ..is crystal clear .Direction though it is fair when compared to first instalment managed to keep the audience entertained.
Weakness
James as Prof. Xavier is good but lacks the sobriety quality of future professor.. The story has less action sequence..only 2 stunts.... as script is mostly taken care on bonding and separation of good friend. Huge cast is powerful but confuses the movie watchers with new characters apart from franchise..
X-men first class is smartly engineered with emotion and action.
Verdict:5/10( 1 for screenplay, 1 for casting & performance, 1 for stunts, 1 for photography and 1 for visuals)
Movie Canvas Punch: X-men: first class.....is 1st class...
