Class is in! And today in EW Movie Math 101, we&8217;re taking a look X-Men: First Class, the fifth (yes, fifth!) movie in this still-alive franchise. So let&8217;s take a closer look. Pay attention, there&8217;s a pop quiz at the end.

1. No need to state the obvious.

2. WhileX-Men: First Class fits in line with its predecessors in terms of key format (heroes vs. villain), the main distinction is, of course, that they&8217;re BABIES! Well, not babies, but younger. And, if I&8217;m being honest, it&8217;s kind of adorable watching Charles Xavier (Nanny?) help them take the first steps toward becoming the heroes we know them to be. I know, &8220;adorable&8221; isexactly the wordX-Men devotees want to hear. (Sarcasm.) But stay on board here&8230;

"X-Men: First Class" is absolutely exceptional, the fifth and best of the bunch.

By Bill Wine KYW Newsradio 1060

It was X-Men that more or less triggered our obsession with superheroes a decade ago.

And if the first four X-Men outings, each a comic book-inspired superheroes thriller, weren&8217;t quite first-class movies, they were close, especially the first two. They may have been about outsiders with gifts who were second-class citizens, but none of the films would be mistaken for second-class citizens of the movie marketplace.
