Continuing his streak from
Layer Cake to
Stardust to
Kick-Ass and now
X-Men: First Class, Matthew Vaughn has quickly become one of only a handful of filmmakers whom I trust implicitly.
I must admit, I have grown tired of the whole Hollywood machine lately, and most major releases don't really compel my interest anymore, especially what is passing as the big budget "tentpoles" these days. But please don't let the bitter taste in your mouth from
Thor (unless you were lucky enough to not see it), or any other lackluster summer "blockbusters" steer you away from this completely compelling character study, which just happens to contain some badass special effect laden set pieces. Not to mention stars in the making Jennifer Lawrence and Rose Byrne happen to be two of the most beautiful women on the planet, so there's that.
I tend to get all wrapped up in hyperbole after having a great experience at the movies, but it really is quite excellent, even if you are not a fanboy. If you are one of the lucky ones like me, perhaps you will even get to experience a
trailer that is certainly one of the greatest trailers in the history of...um... all things that are... uh...things... in the world.
There I go again, sorry.
