Judge for yourself

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2000)

Ummm...lest anyone think that this movie has a hidden undertone against the religious establishment, let me remind you when this comic first was created. That was NOT the message. The message is about discrimination in general...Magneto's history with the concentration camps draws a parallel between the holocaust and the backdrop of modern-day sentiment against mutants.
Second, reading some of the (very) few negative reviews of the movie I am reminded that it could be the best movie ever with the best plot ever, best characters ever, and best dialogue ever and SOMEONE would still have to give it a thumbs down. I'm one of those people who wasn't thrilled by ID4 or Jurassic Park. I need a plot and character development to really like a movie. Even with as big a Star Wars fan as I am I can admit that Phantom Menace was "ok". This movie, on the other hand, impressed me. Trust me...go watch the movie and then judge for yourself.
