This is a prequel to the previous X-Men movies. I liked it and it well done in exactly the same style of the others. You see most of your favorite X-Men/Ladies in their youth, dealing with their emerging supernatural powers. The focus is on how Magneto becomes Magneto and Charles Xavier becomes Charles Xavier and how they end up on the opposite sides of the mutants' society. Check this one out. It is lots of fun. One note that is interesting--they are in the class of 1962, my high school graduating class. However, we did not turn into mutants. We turned into hippies!
