Not disappointing! Totally Exceeded All Expectations.

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2000)

Bryan Singer and crew did a great job on the film. The effects were not revolutionary as The Matrix or anything, but unlike many effects-laden no plot movies (not The Matrix,) the ones it did use were used to further the plot, rather than just for a spectacle. It definitely kicked the living crap out of MI:2, as far as summer movies go. If you are not a comic book movie fan, DON'T go see this movie. If you are a fan or know something about the comic, you will have a great time at this movie. Despite the film looking like it could have been just a brainless, effects heavy, one-liner infected disappointment from its trailers, it is hardly that. Wolverine and Mystique stood out a bit from the rest. Storm (Halle Berry) was a bit disappointing, not because of her acting ability (obviously,) but because of the lack of use by the movie to make her interesting. She could be much improved upon. Can't wait for the next one!!!
