As the mutants discovers, harnesses, and comes to terms with their formidable powers, alliances are formed that will shape the eternal war between the heroes and villains of the X-Men universe.

PRO’S

While it is a very entertaining movie, it also asks the question “should we treat those different from us differently?” If you were a mutant, whose side would you be on, Professor X or Magneto?
