Review: X-Men: First Class

I don’t have a lot of time right now, but the short and the long is I loved it.

I’m getting the impression I really like director Matthew Vaughn. I thought Layer Cake was pretty kick-ass and I thought Kick-Ass was pretty layer-cake. I mean, great. Anyway, summer blockbusters don’t get a whole lot better than First Class. It’s no Dark Knight, but it is definitely a Batman Begins-plus. So there you go.
