What a dissapointment! But...

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2000)

...not a complete dissapointment. Like many other Sci-Fi films that have come out the last 2 to 3 years, X-Men is loaded with impressive special effects, set designs, and for once some good acting. However, like many other Sci-Fi films that have come out the last 2 to 3 years, X-Men relies more on effects than plot and charecterazation, and that(In my opinion)hurts the film both pacing wise and style wise.
You guys already know the plot, so i'll just say what I liked and what I didn't like. Good stuff: Great effects, sets, good acting, and some good action sequences. Bad stuff: Mediocre plot, little to no charecterazation, a somewhat disspointing finale, and slow at times.
Great effects, and good acting, but a mediocre plot, and slow at times. **1/2 out of *****. BTW, I'm not too thrilled about the sequels, but maybe they'll suprize me...maybe.
