Good fun

Most of us wanted to be super heroes when we were kids. In super hero world ranking is extremely difficult. Superman has powers, so in that respect he's cooler than Batman who has gadgets. Almost all important characters in Batman are some sort of split personalities and their world is much darker. The X men are a happy hybrid-- cool, and yet sometimes terrifying powers and the sense of alienation. So, 1:0 for them. :) The special fx are great. 2:0 :) Now the funny thing. Wolverine-Jean Grey thing (Thank God they didn't insist on that) and Rouge-Wolverine thing might seem familiar, but for some reason i really didn't mind them. Singer skips the danger of potentially cheap tricks, and leaves me not only impatiently waiting for the sequel, but actually wanting me to go back and see it again. I cant remember when that happened last time. And I've seen many, many, many , many movies. Many. 3:0. Great casting. Read somewhere that Jackman's performance reminds of a young Clint Eastwood. Inclined to agree. 4:0 :)
I'm no film critic and i don't pretend to have a great taste in movies but this one i liked. Very entertaining. Go see for yourself :)
