AWESOME! THRILLING! A review by a Christian, teenage girl.

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2000)

Obviously, I liked -ehem, LOVED!- X-Men. I came in expecting a movie with effects but not believable, good characters but not feeling, excitement but not thrill. It WAS believable, I FELT for the characters, I was SO thrilled I had to control myself from shaking and freaking the person sitting next to me. Others have said that the movie was too serious. I think that most movies are not serious enough (with too many jokes) but that this movie was just right (Wolverine made a few punches to keep us slightly relaxed... while still on the edge of our seats).
Okay, so the movie was obviously slamming conservative Christians but hey, I am one and I can live with that! "Mutants are different and so are therefore bad... Homosexuals,etc are different and are therefore bad") Yes, we Christians do enjoy slamming and judging those who are "different"; and this movie, I think, WAS- in a way- saying that Christians are just like the "humans" in this story. But, let's not think TOO hard! Enjoy X-Men! It was clean! I have not enjoyed a movie so much since the Matrix.
As a Christian, I loved it and I don't really care if there is a "double meaning" in this film. But I am a teen and I am a Generation X-er. This movie is awesome, fun, thrilling. See it!
