decent

Rating: 6/10 (17 May 2006)

I am a huge fan of the X-men, especially the cartoon versions (sorry, comic book fans.) I can respect some of the changes made, wolverines outfit, Xavier's chair, the limp look of Magneto, but other changes are not acceptable. I can't believe storm did not have any moments where she flew about fighting baddies, storm walking to fight baddies is pretty lame. I also wish the x-men fought together as a team near the end in a climactic fashion, maybe to take down sabertooth, instead of wolverine alone, then a mediocre teamwork scene. The script, acting and effects are decent, but it never lives up to its inspiration in any sense. I guess bryan singer (director) just doesn't think big enough for this franchise.
