X-Men Movie reveiw

Magneto (Ian McKellen) is the story’s powerful antagonist who has the ability to control anything containing metal. Magneto grew up in Nazi Germany and saw first hand how Hitler blamed all of the countries problems on the Jews. He now fears the world will act similar towards mutants, and becomes furious with humanity.
