Honest entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (23 October 2000)

It is a good thing when you don't walk disappointed from the theater. I guess X-Men succeeds at this, giving the audience thrill, visual/sound effects and beautiful people (this applies much more to the male audience, having cast Rebecca Romijn-Stamos). At no point it underestimates the viewer's intelligence, keeping a somewhat coherent plot for such a genre. The "unbelievability" factor is not that high. Pure entertainment which doesn't require a complete cerebral turn-off.
