More and more reviews are streaming in, and it seems to be all clear for the newest X-Men film. Despite all the doubts, it appears as though the franchise has returned to form. Of course, there's still a while to wait until the movie releases (June 3rd for all you slackers), and more reviews are destined to stream in, good or bad.
Here's what some of the critics had to say:
"Big and bold and aggressively told, it feels to me like this is the first film in a brand-new franchise, and I think Fox just got it right, really right, in a way they haven't on any of their Marvel films so far."

"All you'd expect from an X-Men film (or spin-off, or prequel), but not all you'd hope for. It smacks of rush and compromise, but there's thankfully enough to make you feel optimistic about the series' future once more."
Dan Jolin
Empire Magazine
"It's intelligent and emotionally resonant, explosive and eye-dazzling. Factor in a zeitgeisty, hot-list cast and First Class is likely to be one of the summer's best biggies."
