The 10 Best Performances From The X-Men Franchise

X-Men: Apocalypse has arrived in theatres and the general reaction has been rather muted, with the liveliest responses being credited to a genuinely strong performance from Michael Fassbender, the ridiculous over the top nature of Oscar Isaac’s villain and what has to be the oddest, most nonsensical chronology in any film universe ever.

Michael Fassbender – X-Men: First Class

Certainly not his first role that put him on the map for critics (Hunger did that along with Inglorious Bastards) but very definitely the one that helped make him a bonafide movie star, Michael Fassbender as Magneto was a genius casting decision.

Playing both on his roguish charm and ability to project a vulnerability even in the harshest of roles, Fassbender made Magneto so engaging that although we already know the path he’ll end up taking due to prior films, we still get to the end of the movie hoping that he’s going to stick with the team he’s helped build.

Time and time again, Fassbender has proven that he can shine both in the big budgeted, summer tentpoles along with the smaller, more intimate fare.
