Summertime means huge blockbusters or total failure at the box office and this weekend has blockbuster potential.

X-Men: First Class PG-13
A prequel about the early days of the X-Men, when Professor X and Magneto were actually friends. James McAvoy is Professor X, Michael Fassbender is Magneto, and Jennifer Lawrence is the new Mystique.


Kevin Bacon plays the main villain, Sebastian Shaw, who's gathering mutants to help him take over the world. The rest of the cast includes Zoe Kravitz, January Jones from "Mad Men", and Rose Byrne from "Damages". Kevin Bacon has the ability to absorb energy attacks. You can see him in action here. And here are a few other trailers you may not have seen yet. Beast, Havok, Magic Trick, Emma Frost, Never Again







I am not a huge fan of the franchise so I'll probably wait for the DVD or OnDemand release but for all you die hard comic fans out there I your going to get your monies worth. The buzz on this prequel is that it rivals all the rest. Get there early if you want to see the origins of the X-men.
