Great fun, great sci-fi. Who panned this, anyway?

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2000)

I had zero expectations until I read the highbrow reviews (careful chooser! AND seen every sci-fi flick since beginning of time). Decided, what the hey, read the comics or not, maybe worth watching? Holy cow. Forget Superman. Freeze Batman. This is just a dang good flick. Action, suspense, emotional development far exceeded anything I've seen in a long time. Way creative,too (ok, so u read the comics--yeah yeah). C'mon, do you think Patrick Stewart chooses lowlife media here? Get a grip. And yet Hugh Jackman as Wolverine absolutely steals the show -- a tough thing with Stewart in the cast. Just watch it and hold onto your hat. What a blast! (over 45 female reviewer)
