Spring-board to success.

Rating: Null/10 (14 September 2002)

I gave this movie a ten.. this ten is based on many grounds. I will start with the musical side of the movie, which I found to be perfect for every scene involving the music. The score to this film if well worth buying as a soundtrack. Another major factor in giving this movie a ten, was the casting. I have looked over many of the comics and stills fromt he cartoon to figure out what they looked like. And I must say that I found the casting thorough and impressive. I think the only character in this movie who didn't look like the original comic-character was that of Toad, but his make-up and outfit was well put together and made disgusting, yet sexy in some way. I've heard many a complaint about the original comic-costumes not being used, but I figured that if the original dress-code had been followed, it would have ridiculed the movie. To put out a specific hurray to the cast, then it would have to be two characters in particular. Patrick Stewart as Prof. Charles Xavier, and Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine. This movie feels like, for me, like a springboard to the next. An introduction if you will. Put alone, it makes no sense, but seen in the bigger picture, (together with the forecoming X-films) it will undoubtedly make an even bigger success, than it already is. See this movie! I command thee!
