Follows the comic book, but does that make it a great movie?

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2000)

X-Men is not a great movie. In fact, I ran out of things to throw at the screen. The dialogue left something to be desired and the story line didn't allow the audience to create a strong bond with the characters. The movie just assumed that everyone watching was a fan of the comic. I didn't expect much going into the movie and I left with just that.
P.S. "What happens to a Toad when it gets struck by lightning?" "The same thing that happens to everything else."
Now that's A+ material!
