The story starts with different poignant childhood memories, the first batch of the mutants have. The story presents the story of young Erik Lensherr and young Charles Xavier. They've both discovered they're different at a very young age, but due to different circumstances, they've got different views in life. Charles was idealistic while Erik was pessimistic to the society
They're paths would cross; together they'll form a team and discover other mutants. They're training young mutants to be part of the US Special Services and fight against the evil mutants lead by Sebastian Shaw. But Erik wasn't overcome by the rage of his childhood, he teamed-up with Charles to get his sweetest revenge to Shaw.
Charles and Erik's conflicting ideas would lead to the end of their team. Erik would lead the team formerly headed by Shaw, and Charles would be the lead of young mutants which would be called X-Men. Erik's was aggressive to the society, while Charles choose to be secluded and would only come in time of need.
Story-wise is good. Effects is commendable. Fighting scenes would let you hold on to your seats. This movie would let you feel sympathy for the children who are different and are treated differently by the society.
I think this was the best installment i've ever seen for this franchise, because it shows the parallelism of Erik and Charles, only on opposite ways. Although i'm not much of a fanboy, i'm not aware if there are some stories which isn't parallel to what the comic book does. But this franchise, tries to give the viewers to understand Erik, a.k.a. Magneto.
I also liked the idea that, people in different walks in life and who had different views, can actually be good friends, almost.
Created by 20th Century Fox, this much-awaited installment of one of the most popular comic franchise really deserves it's name - 'First Class'
