Product Description
X-Men: First Class is the thrilling, eye-opening chapter you’ve been waiting for...Witness the beginning of the X-Men Universe. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their superhuman powers for the first time, working together in a desperate attempt to stop the Hellfire Club and a global nuclear war.
Amazon.com
When Bryan Singer brought Marvel's X-Men to the big screen, Magneto and Professor X were elder statesmen, but Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass) travels back in time to present an origin story--and an alternate version of history. While Charles Xavier (Laurence Belcher) grows up privileged in New York, Erik Lehnsherr (Bill Milner) grows up underprivileged in Poland. As children, the mind-reading Charles finds a friend in the shape-shifting Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) and Erik finds an enemy in Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon), an energy-absorbing Nazi scientist who treats the metal-bending lad like a lab rat. By 1962, Charles (James McAvoy) has become a swaggering genetics professor and Erik (Michael Fassbender, McAvoy's Band of Brothers costar) has become a brooding agent of revenge. CIA agent Moira (Rose Byrne) brings the two together to work for Division X. With the help of MIB (Oliver Platt) and Hank (A Single Man's Nicholas Hoult), they seek out other mutants, while fending off Shaw and Emma Frost (Mad Men's January Jones), who try to recruit them for more nefarious ends, leading to a showdown in Cuba between the United States and the Soviet Union, the good and bad mutants, and Charles and Erik, whose goals have begun to diverge. Throughout, Vaughn crisscrosses the globe, piles on the visual effects, and juices the action with a rousing score, but it's the actors who make the biggest impression as McAvoy and Fassbender prove themselves worthy successors to Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. The movie comes alive whenever they take center stage, and dies a little when they don't. For the most part, though, Vaughn does right by playing up the James Bond parallels and acknowledging the debt to producer Bryan Singer through a couple of clever cameos. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This movie breathed new life into X-Men. Would anyone seriously have believed that someone could step up to the plate and match McKellen and Stewart? Damn if Fassbender and McAvoy didn't do exactly that. Fassbender comes across as driven, principled, self-righteous... a man who was unfortunate enough to experience the world as it really is and understands the need to be ruthless when sheltered idealists hide from the truth. McAvoy is the perfect young Charles: a thoughtful man who knows the need for principle and sees the potential for cooperation because he can literally see into the hearts of men, and sees in his friend a good man who makes bad decisions because he's fighting his own demons, not the battle at hand.
The setting is the swinging early 60s and cold war politics, perfect for James Bond adventures. The soundtrack alone catches the theme perfectly, plus good writing and directing.
The supporting performances are mostly good. We had a good villain (albeit the stock predictable Nazi world-conquering baddie). Kevin Bacon plays him perfectly. Hoult and Byrne deliver excellent performances.
For all the grief she gets, Jennifer Lawrence did a great job as well. I think it was a mistake to make her the hinge for the rebooted franchise, much as too much of a good thing (wolverine) hampered the old edition. But her extreme body issues, unrequited love for Charles, and sheer loneliness gave her Mystique-ishness some depth and believability.
At the center of the story is the Erik/Charles bromance, and that worked very well. Overall a good movie, maybe the best in the rebooted series. I kind of wished they had stayed in this time period for a while instead of rushing headlong to the present.
I thought the writing was smart in positioning these characters away from the movies that were already done previously while also introducing some mutant characters that were in the original comics but not written into the earlier film adaptations. I also like the idea that real historic events are used to tell a story and make the overall plot a little more believable... for a Sci-Fi movie.
Super important to know where the Xmen came from.... not just a superhero team that automatically existed to save humanity. It's also nice that these marvel movies are portraying characters that make mistakes, and not perfect.... I think that is part of the success of this movie. Not just overall good/evil, but bending the rules a bit.
Another disc included for extras... Not a whole lot, but a lot for the movie lovers. Again, I'm going to reference my first comment that they will probably release a collection with even more extras, but definitely get a good bang for your buck with this blu-ray disc.
Here is how you make it work (for PS3 of course):
1. Shut down your Internet connection.
2. Go to BD Data in the Video section of your PS3 menu and look for the folder that the X-MEN movie copied, and delete it!
3. Re-start your PS3 and then put the movie on.
Right now i am watching the movie with no problems but I still thinks that it is a compatibility issue and an update form Sony should correct that in the near future. I hope it works for all of you!
Still remember that you cant see this movie every time you insert the disc with your Internet connection active so if this issue isn't solved we should get a replacement in case Fox decide to correct this issue with new copies of the movie.
So 3 stars because this problem I will not change this to 5 stars until it isn't resolved.
Enjoy!

En 1944, Erik Lensherr, enfant juif enfermé dans un camp de concentration nazi en Pologne, essaye de déformer le portail afin de libérer sa mère. Assommé par les gardes, il est emmené devant le Docteur Schmidt, voulant le forcer à utiliser ses pouvoirs, il tue sa mère devant ses yeux, libérant toute sa colère et la destruction de la pièce. Parallèlement, le jeune Charles Xavier découvre dans la cuisine de son manoir, Raven, une jeune métamorphe qui a pris l’apparence de sa mère. Il lui propose de l’accueillir sur place.
Des années plus tard, en 1962, Erik, devenu adulte traque des officiers nazis réfugiés en Argentine, afin de se venger du Docteur Schmidt. De son côté, l’agent de la CIA, Moira MacTaggert, s’introduit sous couverture dans le local du Club des Damnés, où elle voit qu’un groupe de mutants constitué de Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, Azazel et Riptide rencontre le Colonel Hendry, qui se retrouve très vite en danger. Moira demande son expertise à Xavier sur la mutation et le conduit devant les dirigeants de la CIA, afin de raconter ce qu’elle a vu. Devant leur incrédulité, Raven se transforme devant eux, créant la Division X, afin de retrouver le Club des Damnés, qui est une menace grave pour la sécurité du monde entier. Ce dernier envisage de créer un conflit nucléaire de grande envergure entre les deux super-puissances : USA et URSS.
Ma critique portera sur l’édition Limitée Steelbook 4K Ultra HD + Blu Ray. Le boitier est tout simplement superbe, le design proposé étant très réussi, rehaussé d’une carte lenticulaire, qui est la reproduction de l’image sur le boitier métal, détachable si l’envie vous en prend. Je ne parlerai pas du disque 4K, n’ayant pas le matériel disponible pour le lire. Le BR 2D délivre un rendu digne de la HD. L’image qui s’affiche est réellement sublime, la définition est d’une netteté incroyable, le piqué est parfait, la colorimétrie est magnifique, le contraste est fabuleux et les détails apparaissent dans chaque arrière-plan de manière impeccable. Le son affiche un rendu aux petits oignons. Les pistes audios comprennent la Version Française, qui déverse un beau dynamisme avec une version DTS 5.1, tandis que la Version Originale avec Sous-Titres Français, d’une efficacité à toute épreuve, reprend un son en DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, les deux pistes accomplissant un très bon travail, permettant non seulement de restituer les voix des acteurs avec précision au niveau des dialogues, mais aussi de souligner les superbes effets spéciaux, rendus tonitruants lors des multiples scènes spectaculaires et parfaitement restitués dans toute leur ampleur, pour notre plus grand plaisir. Chacun fera selon son choix.
Dans les comics, les X-Men figurent parmi les héros les plus complexes jamais créés, héritant de pouvoirs grâce à leur gêne X qui se déclenche à l’adolescence, chaque personnage est unique et cherche son appartenance au sein de l’humanité, tous les mutants étant hais par certaines factions humaines, poussées par la peur d’être obsolètes et remplacées par des personnes qui symbolisent le futur.
C’est avec la même approche, que le film commence à analyser le rapport mutants/humains, en présentant des thèmes forts, comme l’acceptation, l’exclusion, la peur et la haine de l’autre. Tout en sachant aborder les divers aspects psychologiques des personnages, notamment à travers Charles Xavier et Magnéto, présentés comme des frères ennemis, puisque leur amitié solide ne pourra résister à leurs profonds désaccords idéologiques, il n’en oublie pas le côté spectaculaire, en injectant des séquences d’action impressionnantes et recréées de manière fort réaliste et totalement crédible. C’est une totale réussite qui s’affiche, pour le plus grand plaisir des fans de la franchise et de ceux qui la découvre.
Le film propose un casting de premier plan, parmi lesquels Michael FASSBENDER, qui incarne brillamment Erik Lensherr, personnage sombre et torturé, il déploie tout son charisme et parvient à nous faire suivre sa vie parsemée de tragédies, qui le transformeront en maitre du magnétisme impitoyable contre les forces humaines ; à l’opposé de son spectre d’idées, James McAVOY interprète un Professeur Charles Xavier profondément humain, servant de guide aux jeunes mutants soucieux de maitriser leurs pouvoirs, il révèle toute une gamme d’émotions diverses, qui rend son personnage à la fois sage, touchant et empathique, tout en révélant ses failles ; Jennifer LAWRENCE arrive à rendre justice comme jamais à la métamorphe Mystique, encore jeune, Raven Darkholme est tiraillée entre assumer son apparence mutante au grand jour et se transformer pour apparaitre « normale », elle sort le grand jeu, reste très crédible et assure une prestation remarquable ; Kevin BACON incarne le méchant ultime, que ce soit sous l’identité civile du Docteur Schmidt, médecin nazi, désireux de mener des expériences ou sous l’identité mutante de Sébastian Shaw, leader du Club des Damnés qui cherche à déclencher une guerre mondiale, il démontre toute une palette de jeu, passant de mégalomaniaque cruel et clinique en un instant, à un charmeur sûr de ses mensonges et manipulations ; à ses côtés, January JONES campe une Reine Blanche du Club des Damnés plus vraie que nature, Emma Frost y apparait dure et froide comme le diamant de sa mutation, elle est parfaite dans sa performance ; enfin Rose BYRNE interprète Moira MacTaggert, jeune agent de la CIA, qui découvre un monde nouveau peuplé de gens ayant des pouvoirs extraordinaires, entre étonnement, ravissement et poursuite de sa mission, elle délivre son jeu sous forme de petites touches, permettant d’assembler tous les éléments qui composent son personnage, afin de mieux la cerner.
Non content de proposer une superbe brochette d’acteurs, tous plus talentueux les uns que les autres, le film bénéficie d’une narration forte et très intelligente, le retour aux sources opéré est excellent, permettant de redonner un coup de sang neuf à tous les personnages de la saga. La vision du réalisateur Matthew VAUGHN atteint son but à la perfection : dynamiter l’univers des X-Men, en l’entrecroisant avec la réalité humaine que nous connaissons, mélangeant habilement la fiction et un événement de la grande Histoire qui a marqué particulièrement une décade, les années 60 étant la cible référencée pour ce premier film, la crise des Missiles de Cuba, ayant eu lieu en 1962, est réécrite en y incorporant les mutants, ce qui permet de regarder les choses sous un angle tout à fait nouveau.
Ayant atteint pleinement son but, il propose également un caméo inattendu du personnage le plus populaire de la saga, insérant un moment bref mais marquant, qui fera doublement plaisir aux fans : offrir un moment d’humour bienvenu, tout en laissant le champ libre aux autres protagonistes, tant il a marqué les autres films par sa présence sur l’écran.
Un petit moment d’équilibre, qui s’intègre parmi des séquences complexes et crédibles, servant à raconter de merveilleuses histoires fantastiques.
After writing a thesis on mutation, university student Charles Xavier is approached by the CIA for his expertise on the subject as they’ve been tracking the villain Sebastian Shaw, who keeps mutant company. Once convincing the CIA mutants exist, Charles begins to form a team of mutants to go up against Shaw before he can execute his plans to start a third World War.
Loaded with thrills, excitement, stunning SFX, fun cameos and a strong story, X-Men: First Class is an amazing prequel to the X-Men films that won’t leave you disappointed.
X-Men: First Class is one of my favorites. It was also a good chance to kind of give the X-franchise a boost after X-Men: The Last Stand. What was cool about First Class is it takes place in the same universe on the same timeline and is indeed a true prequel to the X-franchise we all know and love. Yes, there are some continuity flaws, but overall the whole thing flows. Besides, any other bumps that need ironing out can always be fixed with the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past as, well, time travel fixes everything.
The two main characters in this are Wolverine and . . . wait, kidding, it’s Professor X (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender), and this story goes way back to when they first met and were even on the same team fighting for the same ideals. You got to see how that friendship was forged because their friends-yet-foes relationship was so prominent in the other movies that to make it the spotlight of this one was a smart move.
This is truly an origin tale as you got to see Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) in her humble beginnings, Professor X all the way back to when he was twelve; they recreated the Nazi camp beginning from X-Men for Magneto’s origin and then expanded on that—which kicked off the main plot of the movie in which Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) wants to use the mutants under his command to kick off World War III—and also how Hank McCoy (Nicholas Hault) becomes all blue and furry as Beast.
Like the other X-flicks, this movie is amazing at being an ensemble film where each character is given care, the right amount of time in the spotlight, each having unique relationships with the others, and who-does-what-and-why is clearly explained. As a storyteller myself, I find this kind of writing fascinating because it’s easy to fall into the trap of just focusing on one or two people and that’s it, the rest of the supporting cast being way too supporting and not enough of their own people. I think the secret was the X-Men—whether good guy or bad—were approached from the angle of family, the idea that as mutants their mutation was their common bond and it was all for one and one for all regardless of personalities or even if people got along or not. There’s even a bond between the heroes and villains of this flick because of their mutation.
The SFX were out of sight. The flying sequences were thrilling, the teleportations were amazing, the nods to the other movies—complete with cameos so watch closely—totally added to the world-building of the X-universe. That and the attention to the source material—using the yellow costumes from the classic comics, for example—and the overall story make this an awesome X-Men movie.
Man, just writing this review makes me want to go watch it again.
Highly recommended.
