More action needed in the sequel

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2000)

Don't get me wrong. I liked this movie. Great performances by a cast who could have done much worse with the script. But there just wasn't enough action in this one. I assume the reasoning was that the audience needed some introducing of the characters and that didn't leave much time for special effects. Basically, this movie is a good setup for a kick-butt sequel. Looking forward to X-Men 2.....
