X-Men: First Class

While revenge-driven Magneto (Michael Fassbender) is preoccupied with killing the power-hungry Nazi doctor (Kevin Bacon) who coldheartedly murdered his mother (Éva Magyar) in front of him when he was only a boy (Bill Milner) in 1944 in this special-effects-laden, action-packed, fast-paced, entertaining, cameo-dotted (Oliver Platt, Hugh Jackman, Wes Craven, Ray Wise, Michael Ironside, Rebecca Romijn, James Remar, and Rade Serbedzija) prequel, level-headed telepath Professor X (James McAvoy), a CIA agent (Rose Byrne), and a team of mutants (Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Caleb Landry Jones, Lucas Till, and Edi Gathegi) try to stop the German doctor and his henchmen (Jason Flemyng, January Jones, Álex González, and Zoë Kravitz) who are desperate to start WWIII by placing missiles in Cuba and pitting the United States against Russia in the early 1960s.
