Excellent Effects, disappointing plot.

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2001)

I was a big X-Men fan and was excited to see the movie being released (especially with Patrick Stewart). I was underimpressed with the storyline (there were many better ones to choose from in the comic), although there were some good plot twists. I liked the effects and makeup (costumes), but felt that they should have been more true to the comic. Overall, I would recommend this movie to sci-fi lovers, but warn X-Men fans that they will be slightly disappointed. I am not sure yet whether I want to have this movie in my collection.
