The film tells the story of Charles Xavier, who was born in a wealthy family, and Eric Lanschel, who escaped death in a Nazi concentration camp, with the imminent war between the United States and the Soviet Union as the background of the decisive battle.

From the different growth trajectories of 'Professor X' Charles and 'Magneto' Eric, to the acquaintance of the two, and the joint establishment of the x mutant team, to the end of the different paths due to disagreements. It can be said that the film takes the story of the two most famous enemies in the X-Men world as the main line, supplemented by the unique two-level pattern of the 1960s with the background of the unstable world environment, showing us a possible The most modern superhero movie to date.

The slightly pale and brushed-off historical settings and contexts of the original film series are presented with authenticity and seriousness in this work that pays homage to the '60s era when the original X-Men comics were born. The two-level pattern after World War II In this big era, any sensitive spark may become the fuse of the war. Therefore, in such a complex international environment, the story background of the X-Men is in line with the superpowers of the characters themselves. At the same time, this sci-fi movie is no longer as weak as a traditional superhero movie, but is extraordinarily real!

The reason why we say this is the best era is because of the rapid development of computer special effects and the level of film production, as well as the audience's ability to accept comics adapted movies. Therefore, this is the most suitable time for special effects and stars. Come to present the best era of superhero comic-themed movies! And the reason why it is said to be the worst era is because of the crazy visual bombing of anime adaptation movies and the excessively frequent live-action process of Marvel comic characters. Today's X-Men series and many superhero-themed movies have become very popular. It's hard to be as majestic as before

    The subject matter is quite serious. It’s not a madman fight at all. The ant chapter is also the same thing. The logic of the scriptwriter is really clear. Magneto is not unreasonable. The ones that evolved a few years ago are hard to see now

    After going abroad, the degree of excitement in the cinema is second only to the awesome movies of "The Dark Knight" and "Inception"! ! ! There are all kinds of goose bumps! ! ! Looking at the director’s resume, you know that the name of this film should actually be called "X-Men: Kick-Ass"! ! !

X-Men: First Class quotes

  • Professor Charles Xavier: You know, I believe that true focus lies somewhere between rage and serenity. Would you mind if I...

    [Charles makes a gesture to request permission to read Erik's mind]

    Erik Lehnsherr: [Erik signals approval and while Charles reads Erik minds. We see moments of Erik's childhood with his mother] What did you just do to me?

    [Both Erik and Charles cries]

    Professor Charles Xavier: I accessed the brightest corner of your memory system. It's a very beautiful memory, Erik. Thank you.

    Erik Lehnsherr: I didn't know I still had that.

    Professor Charles Xavier: There is so much more to you than you know. Not just pain and anger. There is good, too. I felt it. When you can access all of that, you will possess a power no one can match. Not even me.

  • Professor Charles Xavier: Shaw's declared war on mankind on all of us, he has to be stopped.

    Erik Lehnsherr: I am not gonna stop Shaw, I am gonna kill him. Do you have it in you to allow that?

    [Erik pauses while Charles shifts in his chair uneasy]

    Erik Lehnsherr: You known all along why I was here Charles, but things have changed. What started as a covert of mission, tomorrow mankind will know mutants exist. Shaw, us, they won't differentiate. They'll fear us. And that fear will turn to hatred.

    Professor Charles Xavier: Not if we stop a war, not if we can prevent Shaw, not if we risk our lives doing so.

    Erik Lehnsherr: Would they do the same for us?

    Professor Charles Xavier: We have it in us to be the better man.

    Erik Lehnsherr: We already are! We are the next stage of human evolution, you said it yourself...

    Professor Charles Xavier: [cuts in] No, no...

    Erik Lehnsherr: Are you really so naive as to think that they won't battle their own extinction? Or is it arrogance?

    Professor Charles Xavier: [looks at Erik in disagreement] I am sorry.

    Erik Lehnsherr: After tomorrow, they are gonna turn on us. But you are blinded because you believe they are all like Moira.

    Professor Charles Xavier: And you believe they are all like Shaw.

    [leans forward]

    Professor Charles Xavier: Listen to me very carefully, my friend: killing Shaw will not bring you peace.

    Erik Lehnsherr: Peace was never an option.
