X-Men: First Class (2012)
X-Men: First Class was the fifth instalment in the X-Men movie franchise, but a prequel to those that came before it and the first to utilise younger actors to portray younger versions of characters like Professor Xavier, Magneto, Beast and Mystique.
It saw the origins of the rivalry between former friends Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr depicted on screen, as they sought to gather mutants while standing up to the threat of the energy-absorbing Sebastian Shaw.
The acting was praised, the story was praised, the new youthful energy in the movie was praised and, as a piece of cinema, it is undoubtedly the best offering in the X-Men franchise to date.
Although it wasn’t one of the franchise’s bigger earners, it still made around $200 million in profits at the box office.
