Forget about Wolvie. Hail Rogue !!!!

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2000)

I just saw X-MEN last night and it totally blasted the hell out of me. Ray Park was among the audience, what a nice fella, he's a very kind and funny person. Well, as you have already read from all the postings here, the movie relies more on the feelings that this group of mutant misfits have to deal with, than with any other aspect of the comic series. I recall someone stating that you can't believe that such beautiful people could be mistaken for freaks. Enter Rogue. Anna Paquin is a beautiful woman. Her image hasn't been exploited the same way as Janssen's, Berry's or Stamos', but you can't help fallin' in love with her. She's so desperate and confused. Her sadness really beats Wolverine's seek for a past. Hugh Jackman is indeed a great actor, and he portrayed Wolvie in a pretty cool way, with the attitude and the looks. But believe me, you will feel Paquin's performance more than any other. Specially in the dream sequence - you'll know when you see it - Man I almost cried during that one. Ok, back to Earth. X-Men is a great movie, you should go and see it.
