A Flawed Film

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2001)

I had some serious issues with X-Men on many levels. First off, I feel that too little time was devoted to explaining the mutants and their origins and abilities. The only two people we learned about were Wolverine and Rogue. Throughout the film questions arose: Why does that guy sniff the air? What does that guy shoot from his eyes? Further, the entire effort came off as a bit forced to me. Everyone seemed bored just being there and if you're a fan of the comic, there are far too many holes to allow. Granted, only so much can be shown in a 90 minute movie, but this film begged for a bigger budget and a longer running time. Try again
