X-Men: First Class
2011
In this exciting prequel to the X-Men series, Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) -- the future Professor X and Magneto -- are best friends dedicated to harnessing their powers and promoting the education of fellow mutants during the turbulent 1960s. The duo works together to stop a powerful adversary that threatens mankind, but their ideological differences drive them apart and turn them into ferocious enemies.

While there are a few inexcusable plot issues, this is a great addition to the x-men movie franchise. Fassbender is brilliant as magneto. The film is a lot of fanservice, but GOOD fanservice. It shies away from kiddie x-men, and is overall very fun.
Nonsensical story: Magneto wants to kill Shaw, yet in the first few minutes he had a chance to kill him and instead chose to kill everyone except Shaw. Ridiculous. Magneto also inexplicably gets the power to levitate non-metal items in the end
