Synopsis

Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN.

Editorial

Why Eltorama recommends this film

Magneto, a Holocaust survivor, argues that humanity will always come for the different sooner or later, so mutants should arm themselves first. Charles Xavier argues for trust. The franchise then spends ten more films proving Magneto right and pretending it didn’t.
