X Men = Mystery men without the comedy.

Rating: 7/10 (2 March 2001)

X Men reminded me so much of Mystery men but without the comedy ! This is no critisism because both film are good and have there own merits. X Men is about the struggle between battling mutants who all have super human powers. Patrick Stewert is the leader of the good mutants and Ian Mckellen plays the bad guy. (why are the bad guys always English?). The Story is fairly good although you cant help but think this is just a pre-curser to a sequal because it takes a fair chunk of the movie just to explain who the mutants are and what their supernatural backgrounds are. Special affects are very good as you would expect and the sound is quite amazing. As long as you dont take X Men to seriously you should enjoy it. 7 out of 10.
