WHAT A TRIP!

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2000)

This movie was even better than I expected, and my two daughters, who watched it separately, also agree. I really felt that some of my favorite heroes had come to life. I knew "Dr. X" would be right on target, and was pleasantly surprised that "Magneto" and all the others except "Rogue" were also right on target. "Rogue's" character was changed to fit the new story line, and it worked! Instead of the outlaw mutant overwhelmed by new powers, she became the ingenue and replaced Kitty Pryde as Wolverine's junior partner. Although I was spending some of the time analyzing the movie and the characters, most of the time I was transported to a different world. Judging by the audience reaction, even the skeptics got involved with the story and action. I want to see this in the theater again, and look forward to owning it on video.
