'X Men: First Class' reviewed by Rotten Tomatoes on infoMania

Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox review "X Men: First Class," a rousing reboot of the musty Marvel Comics franchise. This origin story traces how such familiar characters as Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Professor X (James McAvoy) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) discovered and developed their powers, set primarily against the backdrop of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Think "Mad Men" with mutants.
