The Plot: Charles Xavier (aka Professor X) and Erik Lensherr (aka Magneto) are two young men discovering their powers. Banding together with fellow mutants to stop a threat to the world, a rift grows between the two forces, leading to the founding of Professor X’s X-MEN and Magneto’s Brotherhood, and the beginning of their eternal war.

Storyline

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 archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-MEN.

Movie trailer:

THE BUZZ: Just over a decade after X-Men comes this rather welcome prequel, with Bryan Singer in active producer mode and director Matthew Vaughn finally in the Marvel Universe. Ten years ago, your typical cab driver lacked the power to start a casting rumor, and we never would have thought Brett Ratner would help bring a franchise crashing to the ground. May this decade bring hope for a continuation of the original series and a good Wolverine sequel.
