X-men: First Class (2011)

E4, 9.00PM ★★★

-

 Telepathic Charles Xavier (James Mcavoy) bonds with metal-bending death camp survivor Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) and the two of them track down other mutants to confront evil Nazi Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) when he triggers the Cuban Missile Crisis. Matthew Vaughn is much more comfortabl­e with the small-scale character stuff than the action climax, but this prequel is mostly a lot of fun.
