My comments on X-men, the first movie.

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2004)

As you may know from reading my Spiderman 2 review, I am not very fond of comic books besides Batman. But I have to admit this movie was okay. I am not new to the X-men universe nor have been for a while. Like I said, with two comic book crazed sisters(X-men in particular)you can't help but pick up a few things or little shards of information. The visual effects were okay, I didn't hear much music, but for me the plot was a bit dull. I was not very fond of the whole 'mutant' thing. But, now that I have gotten into it more it truly doesn't matter to me. I think they could have started it out a bit differently, maybe have gotten a better actress for Rouge. For me the biggest error was the newer in-correct toad and the Bobby/Rouge romance. Also, I'm not saying Halle Berry is a horrible actress but she just wasn't the right one for Storm. The best actor choices were Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen. I love seeing scenes with both of those brilliant actors in them. Overall out of ten I'd give this movie a seven. The best thing I can say about this is that most of the errors go away when you see Ian Mckellen play our favorite villain Magneto.
