could be better

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2003)

I have a friend that critics a lot of movies saying that it doesn't happen much. But I did never really have that felling about a movie, until now. To begin I'm not really a X-Men fan, sure I saw a couple of times the cartoon but never red the comics or played the games.
I red from a couple of comments that a big problem of X-Men are the characters, in first place there a lot of them and second they have complicated backstorys. Because of that the weak plot spends a lot of his time introducing us to them. But at the end we don't really know much of them, they just remain one dimensional.
The acting is very good Stuart, McKellen and Jackman are great the rest of the cast was good and credible. Some people criticised Halle Berry but that is stupid. I mean she had only a couple of lines and her character was bad written so she did her best but I must admit the line:" Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else. "?????? What is that??
To sum up X-Men is not a bad movie, it's very complicated to bring mutants on a realistic way on big screen and it did, if you ignore the weak plot you have good entertainment.
