Cool, cool, cool

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2006)

This movie is the achievement all comicbook movies should look up to. The casting is perfect. None of the performances are forced or cheesy. Every character is treated respectfully by Singer and their respective actor. Hugh Jackman brings a unique and different aspect to the character of Wolverine, but he still holds true to the original essence of the character. Certain aspects could use touch-ups. Halle Berry's wig just makes her character comical and distracts from what was a good performance. And, the story leaves Cyclops, Scott Summers, out in the dust as far as things to do. As the leader of the team his role needed to be bigger. More action and drama. Length and timing are perfect and the writing is to die for in this film. Despite its length, only an hour and forty some minutes, everything is taken to its conclusion without rushing. Singer brought the X-Men to film in the best way possible. Kudos.
