I can't imagine that there was a lot of need for an origin story concerning Professor Xavier and Magneto for the audiences that never read the comics. For fans of the comics who already knew the story, it couldn't have been too exciting given that the movies have taken so many liberties with the canon already. Despite all this, Matthew Vaughn (who impressed with Kick-Ass and Layer Cake) has managed to create a prequel to the X-Men trilogy that not only gives fans a solid schooling in history but is damn entertaining to boot.
