special effects wasted due to lack of progressive plot

Rating: 4/10 (12 September 2001)

X-men has some decent special effects and directing, but it is wasted due to a lack of a progressive plot. Movie goers want to see a movie that moves along, in the X-men's case the movie moves at a snails pace and the only character the audience genuinely cares about is Wolverine. They should call this movie Wolverine and friends.
They should have kept this one in comic book format. Lets hope X-Men 2 has a more exciting and explosive plot. Isn't that what comic books are for???
