X-Men - Welcome to the Evolution

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2000)

I haven't read X-men in 15 years and I loved it. Hugh Jackman is Wolverine. He is tough, nasty, has a heart and even gets a "Bub" in. Xavier, Magneto, Storm, Cyclops, Jean, Rogue, They're all there. It's like coming home and meeting old friends. Sure, it isn't the comic, but you can't do the comic straight up. But the essence, the interaction. The family that is X-men are all there. I'm not saying it's perfect, but compared to MI-2, it's heaven. Marsden is great as Cyclops, despite what some say. Cyke was always stiff jawed goody two shoes Prof X's boy where Wolverine would talk back. As you might have gathered I liked it a lot. I'm not sure how well any non X-initiate will take it, it is a good story for a comic, but being purely selfish, I want the DVD tomorrow and the Sequel the day after. I guess I'll just have to live with seeing it again. And again.
