It IS X-Men

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2000)

If you don't like the comics, you won't like the movie. That's the bottom line. The only real criticism from domestic press has been the basic premise. This is a geek film. I am a geek, and I loved it. This is how comic movies should be.
The best acting in the movie is done by Hugh Jackman (Wolverine). I'm a big fan of the ol' Canucklehead, and Jackman enbodied him. They way he moves his eyebrows, the way he walks, talk, chews on a cigar, and drinks hard liquid made me laugh out loud with joy.
Rogue is not inaccurate. Before she took on Ms. Marvel, Rogue was a scared young girl, like Anna Paquin played her.
The humor is well placed and smart. The jokes are even funnier than most of those in summer 2000's comedies.
The only complaint I have is that there wasn't enough. Of course, I'm not talking about a few deleted scenes. I want the sequel RIGHT NOW!!!
