I
tried for a bit to not see this movie. Had no desire to since just
from the trailer I didn’t know if this was part of the previous X-Men films or not. Even after seeing the film I’m still not
exactly sure. But what I am sure about is that Magneto is one of the
most bad ass characters to ever exist and if you don’t believe it,
here’s a coin for you!
The film starts with a flashback of a young Magneto being separated from his family during the Holocaust. Later he is held captive by Kevin Bacon (Every Movie Ever) as Sebastian Shaw. He wants to have young Erik Lehnsherr move a Nazi coin to show his powers. Erik tries and cant. They bring his mom in and Shaw tells him to move the coin in three seconds or his mom gets pumped full of lead. Erik still cant so, bye-bye, mommy! Erik loses his shit and everything metal gets crunched and he kills two guards in the process.
