Better than expected

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2000)

I went in thinking that the main focus of the movie would probably be the fighting and the powers of the mutants. Having been a fan of the comic series for some time now it was my opinion that the most important element would be the fight seen between Wolverine and Sabertooth. However, I was very pleasantly surprised to see that not the mutant powers or the fighting was the focus but that the story and plot became the main focus and with intellegent twists and turns, as well as some well timed and very humorous comic relief this quickly became my favorite movie of the year. Though due to the Academy's obvious feelings about Sci-fi the only oscar possibility I see in the future is for special effects.
