x-men: first class

usually reboots to popular franchises don't work, but this one is fantastic.  they got a great director in matthew vaughn, and some amazing talent with mcavoy, fassbender, and lawrence to help us forget the previous incarnation.  the setting changes to the 60's as we see the genesis of the x-men and follow charles xavier's journey from selfish collage kid to selfless team leader as he and his troop try to save the world during the cuban missile crisis.  this movie deserves to be in the upper echelon of x-men movies just for the perfect hugh jackman cameo!
