Lack of Depth

Rating: 6/10 (9 May 2004)

Not quite what I was expecting. I was expecting much more. Considering Hugh Jackman was in the film, I was expecting a X-Men quality movie. My hopes were sadly disappointed. Richard Roxburgh played also in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which fell into the same category.
The characters were shallow. The film was 2.5 hours of a lot of comic book style action, which was great to watch. The only character which had the most development was Frankenstein's monster. He actually had dialogue. The rest of the characters were lacking in dialogue and depth. One scene had Hugh and Anna kiss, which practically came out of nowhere. I just wish Hugh signs up for X3.
