Real Live Comic Book Scores Big

Rating: Null/10 (25 January 2001)

I used to read the xmen comic books when I was a kid. I had my favorite characters and my issues. Many people have done the same. To see these characters come to life was amazing. Personally, I always liked Wolverine the best, and Jackman's portrayal was uncanny. His ability to capture the brooding, loner attitude was perfect. Marsden, Jensen, Paquin, and Stewart are equally good. The only true complaint I have about this movie is Berry performance. She had none of Storm's leadership qualities as she does in the comic. Also, I missed some classic players as Gambit, Beast and (my other favorite) Jubilee. Now, although I understand that Gambit came after the Original Xmen, Beast was Professor X's 1st mutant. Jubilee was named in the cast, but I could not find her in the film. Perhaps in the sequel, these characters could be featured more. Also, Rouge was from Georgia, not Missippi.
All in all I give this film ***(They lose one for accuracy)
