Top 10 'X-Men' Films As Ranked by IMDb Users7 of 10
4. X-Men: First Class (2011) — Rating 7.8
Matthew Vaughn stepped in to direct this prequel, casting younger actors to tell the early stories of Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), Erik/Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Raven/Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence). It was a big risk to basically reboot the franchise with a whole new cast — albeit major stars — in familiar roles. But it worked beautifully, and landed in the top 3 highest ranked films of the X-Men franchise among IMDb users.
One IMDb user titled his review "Best X-Men film yet!" writing, "X-Men: First Class is simply fantastic. Strong emotion and explosive action. The acting is top notch. Delivery from every actor is at its best, more so from Mystique, Beast, Xavier and Magneto. The story is more character based than action; however the action sequences are still superb."
