How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A kinetic superhero origin story that balances spectacular action with genuine stakes, two outsiders find refuge among misfits while confronting a mirror-image threat. It's earnest, propulsive, and grounded in the social allegory that makes the X-Men concept resonate.

The X-Men franchise is pretty messy as a full body of work, but the first one is pretty good, and it's crazy that Hugh Jackman is coming back as Wolverine two and a half decades later. The cast is solid, and for the most part if I am envisioning an X-Men member, this is the version that pops into my mind (even though I do prefer First Class as a movie). James Marsden doesn't have nearly enough to do as Cyclops though.
