Too little of something this good

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2000)

A mutant among superhero films, X-Men excels in the story department. Not truly amazing with Singer at the helm and over 30 years of continuity. Everything feels right enough for a movie adaption, but their could have been a little more 'Wow'-factor for my taste. Being capped from $100 million to $70 million may have been the reason this film clocks in at around 90 minutes, but why the fast editing? Why the semi-climax? Why do we have to wait a few years for more? Well, Y is the sequel of X, so lets hope a sequel will improve on these points.
