Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were arch-enemies, they were closest of friends, working together with other mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A propulsive origin story that captures the thrill of discovering extraordinary abilities while the world teeters on the brink of nuclear annihilation. It's as much about the bond between two charismatic young men as it is about stopping a global catastrophe.

Reviews
Emma Frost's costume designer was a lot more excited about the 1960's than whoever dressed all these men.
This is my favorite X-Men movie. Magneto is the most fun to watch, and I love a group of misfits teaming up, Little Giants style. Most of the movie is one of those two things, and the rest is Kevin Bacon, so no complaints.
The Rebecca Romijn moment is very clever.
