No disappointment here!!

I was a fan of the X-Men back in the early sixties when they first appeared on the comicbook scene. Then, the members were Cyclops, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), Angel, Beast and Iceman. The group has evolved over the years...and out of my life many moons ago. The only contact I have with them now, is thru my 12 year old nephew who is as excited about them now as I was back then. I went to the movies Friday to the very first showing of X-Men the movie. From the first second the screen came alive to the final credit, I was glued. All of the main characters were explained perfectly so that even an oldie like me could understand who and why they were who they are. The storyline was great. The actors portraying anybody and everybody were right on the mark. I want to thank and congratulate all of the people behind this movie, from Marvel itself, thru to Stan Lee, to the director, the producers, and even the guys driving the roach coach. Excellent job! I rate this movie as the best movie of the summer. Even if it dies at the boxoffice (which it won't) it is a Marvel of wonder in the history of film!!
Long Live Prof. Charles Xavier and his school for gifted children!!!
