Too Short and a water thin plotline.

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2000)

(contains spoilers.. beware)
This movie was fun to watch. But I came off of it feeling like there was about an hour to go. It's something that irritated me. This movie had the potential to go further, but they didn't. 104 minutes 9 of which they devote to credits. If you view the DVD version it lets you add 10 minutes if you want. But unlike many deleted scene's I've seen, these scenes at least some of them I'm glad they did delete because they didn't integrate too well into whatever plotline there was. The plotline was so thin I coulda written it. Lets see Magnito plans to turn us all into mutants. The ending sounds like a rip on X-Files. Lock the bad guy in a plastic prison. They didn't really miscast anyone except my brother who is a X-Men purist whined about Paquin (Rogue) that Rogue should be in her 30's. But how are legends created? A little variant is needed from time to time. Like William Wallace and bolts of lighting from his a*se. It was nice to see Paquin (The Piano) again. Looks to be the next Claire Danes at this rate. Jackman was beautifully cast. Can't find a better man for the role of Wolverine. Berry was fun as Storm. That scene she had with the rather wet Senator was rather fun. But again this movie was too short. All they really had was one plot and that was too thin of a plot. You shouldn't be making a single comic book into a movie. Combine a few of them will ya. At least they got Judge Dredd right on that one. Rent/Buy the DVD obviously. You can't watch these types of movies anymore on VHS because all the goodies have been sent to the DVD's.

6/10
