Seeing the senior X-Men characters at a young age
Michael Fassbender stands out
Great Sfx
Interesting idea
It's nice to see a story of how Magneto, Xavier and Mystique etc came to know each other. Also to see how the X-Men came to be. I like the way it's tied into real events in History. The action scenes are great and the Sfx are top notch. A very enjoyable film.

Simple Action Film
I was surprised to hear that they were making a film based on the Sega Arcade game. Which basically involved picking a huge creature and trying to knock down buildings while being attacked by the army.
This keeps the basic idea of that but it does mean the plot is wafer thin. The Sfx are very good. This is a pure popcorn action film not too be taken seriously and just enjoy the fun.

Good cast
Another Disney classic gets the live action treatment. The story is fairly different to the original as it would not work as a live action film on the whole. There are a few homages to some of the classic scenes of the animated version. The SFX are good but everything else is just your standard family film. Lost a bit of the Disney magic in the update.

Amazing range of Sfx
A mindbending strange film
Another super hero Marvel film that will dazzle your eyes, if not your mind. All the magic, space, time and other dimensions makes it feel less connected to the rest of the Marvel universe. It's totally over the top, but the range of Sfx shots it leads to are amazing. A bit like inception on steroids. Interesting visually but the story will probably wash over you.

Good Sfx for the early 80's
Great fantasy adventure
Before Lord of the Rings this was the closest you got to a fantasy/action epic. Had good SFX for the time of filming '83! It has a wide range of characters and creatures as a group come together to rescue a princess. A little surprise it was a pg rating. Younger kids might find it a bit scary. Featuring a young Robbie Coltrane and Liam Neeson.
