A great way to start off your summer is a film called “X-Men: First Class”, it makes its debut on June 3; the day after school gets out.

Many films exist with the X-Men such as the original X-men that came out in 2000 following that X2: X-Men United that came out in 2003. In 2006 “X-men: Last Stand” was released, the final movie that was released before the new movie “X-Men: First Class” and finally “X-Men Origin: Wolverine”. Finally, the newest member of the X-Men film series is “X-Men: First Class”.

This highly hyped movie is about two young men by the names of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehsherr, this movie is about these two before they turned into enemies and got the names Professor X and Magneto. The movie shows what happened before the world knew what mutants were. The setting of “X-Men: First Class” is in 1963 during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Civil Rights Movement.

Professor X and Magneto were two close friends finding their powers out together for the first time during the time period fighting side by side with other mutants to prevent a breakout that could threaten the world as they know it.

If you have watched the other movies of the X-Men then “X-Men: First Class” is a great way to see what happened before Professor X and Magneto became enemies. The movie is a great way to start off your summer.
