i don't know why people think this movie is better than it really is

Rating: 6/10 (13 October 2001)

I don't think x men was done very well. Especially when i think about how good it could have been. There wasn't that much i liked about it. I'm pretty familiar with all the x-men characters and most of the storylines. Instead of using a good x-men plot such as days of future past, pheonix saga, etc etc, they went ahead and made up their own. A mutant ray that will turn everyone in NY into mutants? Puh lease.
However though i didnt like most of it, some of it was alright. Like the scene with mystique and senator kelly in the helicopter when she's telling him about her childhood while flash kicking him in the face. IF only the rest of the movie had the kind of deep seeded tension that this scene had instead of breaking down into less than exhilirating action sequences filled with lazy cgi. I mean, damn.
