The Thin White Dude's Movie Of The Month: June 2011 - X-Men First Class




X-Men: First Class is a great superhero flick that contains much of what anyone would want to find in a film of this genre. Fine performances are to be found in James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Kevin. Also, technically it contains very strong qualities in the mise-en-scene, cinematography and editing. Finally, it is a film that carries on from last year's Kick-Ass the distinct flavour of Matthew Vaughan and Jane Goldman as collaborative team.

The Thin White Dude's Prognosis - 8.2/10

Runner-Up: Water For Elephants - Very good, old-school Hollywood drama

Avoid Like The Plague: Swinging With The Finkels - Pretentious guff disguised as comedy

Second-Most Deadly Disease: The Hangover Part II - Crass, overly excessive nonsense
