X-Men had some enjoyable moments, but the storyline SUNK IT. No big spoilers here either, but just in case.

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2006)

I don't know what I can say about X-Men. I liked most of the performances and really enjoyed Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. There were a lot of exciting action sequences and the picture looked good visually, but what lowered my expectations about it was the weak storyline involving Magneto (Ian McKellen) using Rogue(Anna Paquin) and her mutant ability of absorption.
His plan was to let Rogue absorb his magnetic powers in order to change many of the world leaders into mutants so then they wouldn't pass the Mutant Registration Act. This would then likely kill Rogue, which was one of the reasons why Magneto wouldn't do it himself. He did it earlier in the movie to someone and was nearly killed doing so. I don't know how his magnetic powers, with the help of the machine he built, would be able to do this. It was never really explained, and the ending was over too abruptly. I was expecting more an never got it.
X-Men still had some good moments though. I just wish the story could've been done better. It was almost like it was just thrown together because the writers were running out of time or something. The sequel was much better and even more entertaining.
