Great movie. Just be careful. (spoiler)

Rating: 8/10 (7 September 2004)

This is an awesome ride. The movie has great characters and actors to play them. Ian McKellen as Magneto was very good, and Patrick Stewart as Professor Xavier was a very smart thing on their end to do, I think. Hugh Jackman played the role of Wolverine to very near perfection. (ending with the list of characters there)
The action is great, and the effects are decent. They have this one part (spoiler here) where they pit Wolverine against Mystique while in Logan's (Wolverine's) form. They did that so well. However, the whole movie is not innocent. Besides the action and typical profanities in movies today, there are some other problems. There is some crass mention of male genitalia. Logan uses one of his claws to give Cyclops the finger (while this may fly over the heads of many people, those who do catch it may have a problem with it). Toad also has some gross powers. Like when he throws that stuff Jean's face, those who know what it is (check out its color) may get a little queasy knowing just how sticky and strong it is. But the biggest problem in my opinion is Mystique's figure. I know that scientifically speaking, this is more sound then what the comics have, but she is very nearly totally naked. They put on just enough prosthetics and had most of her scenes dark enough so as to get by with PG-13 rating. Barely, though.
So overall, I still love this movie. It's a great action/sci-fi/fantasy movie (fantasy because evolution is an unproven theory and it's a bogus theory). But just make sure you watch out for the crudities of this movie.
