Quick Synopsis
Charles Xavier (Professor X "McAvoy") and Erik Lensherr (Magneto "Fassbender") was a good old folks who pursue different paths. Erik is in the a deep grief to avenge his mother death. Been through the pain of Nazi eras, Erik soon discover his dark personality. While, Charles Xavier lives alone in a big mansion since young and have a  idealistic view of the society between mutants and humans. Both Charles and Erik met in the middle of the fight with Shaw "Bacon" the dangerous mutant. Erik is blinded by his hunger for revenge and Charles tries to find Erik's inner peace. However as time goes by, both Erik and Charles are not destined for the same path.  


Review
X-Men first class is refreshing the franchise that is going downward since the last Wolverine X-men origin. This whole new concept of the story did really bring up the franchise to a new level. The story is beautifully crafted and for those who followed all the series of X-men movies, this first class really explained all of it.

McAvoy executed the Charles Xavier greatly with the punch line that I would never forget "Listen carefully my friend, killing shaw will not bring you peace". The audiences are brought to better understanding of the Professor X and Magneto characteristics. This whole concept of rebuilding the atmosphere of mutants world by bringing the founders of X division "Charles Xavier" and mutant brotherhood "Erik Lansheer" and put it in a new perspective did surely revived the dying franchise. The character building which is the part that needed to be praised even though the special effects are a bit patchy as some says.
