In case you didn't notice, this is a music website and if I can't hang a review on music, I really shouldn't bother with it.
But except for the incidental score, I don't hear any in "X-Men: First Class"
1. Helen Bach claims there is a pop song song in a pub at some point,. I must have missed it.
2. And rumor has it the theme song is "Love Love" by Take That but I didn't hear that either.
So, not much to report. The movie is, however, really good. The cool thing about prequels is how they tell you how things you know happened (but not Professor X going bald!) got their start and it does it really while.
The time is 1962 and the set-up is he Cuban Missile Crises is about to get nasty as Magneto and X battle a Nazi doctor played by Kevin Bacon in an attempt to thwart Kevin Bacon's attempts to thwart the outbreak of peace between the superpowers.
There are odd mistakes, Oxford looks like the swinging sixties not the Profuto era, and the girls are also about four years early.
Oh, speaking of the girls, January Jones is… I don't know what the word is, but she absolute is. The stripper with wings is hot as well. But Magneto (the Nazi from Inglourious Bastards) and X (Kiera Knightleys love interest in that crap adaption of the limey writers novels) are probably the best actors in a Marvel adaption since… why, since the first Spiderman.
Did I mention January Jones?
