Not bad, but not great, either.

Rating: 5/10 (12 November 2001)

Good Points: It is an entertaining flick, in spite of its flaws, with plenty of sweet eye candy. The mutants' powers are nicely brought to life through the miracle of CGI. Kudos to Patrick Stewart who played a wonderful Professor X, Ian McKellen as the perfect Magneto, and Hugh Jackman who deserves every penny he gets for playing Wolverine with charisma and style without coming across cheesy like everyone else in the cast. Bad Points: It's not that the movie is BAD per se, but there's nothing outstanding about it. The directing is decent but not ground-breaking, and aside from Stewart, McKellen, and Jackman, the acting is nothing special. Bottom Line: Kids will love it. For the adults, don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.
