X-Men fans will not be ExX-Men fans

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2001)

I read some of these post and thought that I had to write something. Cyclops is my favorite character in the comic and in the movie. He was stiff in the movie, yes. Why? Because that is the way he is in the comic books.
Wolviren was not watered down because that is the way he is when he is with the X-Men. He always takes a likin' to the younger person.
There were ten characters. It is hard enough to come up with enough for each. They did a great job.
There really isn't a lot about Cyclops to know other then he is stiff. Unless they wanted to tell about how he hit his head when he was yonger and that is why he has to wear a visor to keep from blasting everywhere.
Wolviern is only human, partly, because he doesn't always act like a ravge beast. He has a loving side to him.
Rouge is not sassy. She wasn't when she first found out about her powers. Now she became that way, and people who have read the comic books would know that.
This movie was a start and it was a very good start. It could have been better if they had the Beast and Gambit and Pyro, like they wanted, but the money was not put up by Fox. Just like they wanted the Danger room in there too.
As for comparing it to the Batman stuff, you cannot. Batman was one character it was easier to make it and make it where you understand him and where he is coming from. X-Men is based on many characters and therefore take longer to developed when they have to share the screen with others. Batman movies were good up to two. Then they lost out. So I hope it never compares to Batman since Batman droped after the second one. X-Men, if handled right, will never drop.
The X-Men in this movie stay with the charters that are true to the X-Men. I am a big fan and I see it. There was not enough development but no one seems to understand how long the movie was and how many people were in the movie. You barely got to know Magneto. They didn't tell you that he has two children and that a mob killed his wife. That his two children grow up to be against their father. One being on the Advengers, Scarlet Witch, and one on one of the X-Teams, Quicksilver. They didn't tell you that Profesor X has a step brother who is very strong and named the Juggernaut. They didn't tell you that Cyclops has a brother and they were split in the adoption process. That the person over the Adoption place Cyclops was at was owned by Mr. Sinister his nemises in years to come. They didn't tell you that Storm was a Goddess and that she is claustrophobic. They didn't tell you that Wolviren was an experiment and that Sabertooth was a part of that experiment but when Wolviren escaped he made Sabertooth lose out on it. They didn't tell you that Mystique had a real child and his name was Nightcrawler. That she has a best friend named Destany. There is so much that could have been said to make you care for them but that is too much in the time that was alloted.
This movie was, as I said, a great start. And Batman it is not because they are the X-Men.
