a smart and funny film

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2000)

Movies based on comics nowadays are few and far between, nevertheless it is rare to find a bad one. X-Men keeps this tradition alive, it's a smart and funny film, which is sometimes hard to find in the action genre of movie.Action based movies tend to suck the plot out and fill where it should have been with action. But the action in X-Men added to the plot and made the story as a whole come together and in the end making the action all the more enjoyable. My only complaint SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! is the ending, that old cliffhanger of an ending though it may not be considered a total cliffhanger in X-Men it is still (drumroll) a cliffhanger. I loved the movie, hated the end. A cliffhanger is fine but I like something, anything to end when the words "the end" shine in all their glory on the movie canvas. As you know they are probably making a sequel, but topping this one off would have gave a little more closure to the viewer. But as I stated before it is a great film for all to see X-Men fan or not you have to see it. Though at the end it has you saying "Yougottabekiddingitain'tover!!!!!!!!
