As underrated as No Country for Old Men was overrated

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2009)

Prior to seeing this movie I had heard a lot of bad reviews and negative rumors about the movie. It was a movie I had been looking forward to long before this bad reputation started to spread - so I was a bit unsure of what to believe. I pretty much sat down to watch this movie preparing myself for that it might not be that great. After 1 hour and 47 minutes I was positively surprised. If you are a fan of the X-Men film trilogy I would recommend you to see this movie. I deem the X-Men trilogy as a good bunch of movies, I would rate them variously as 6's or 7's. Compared to those I actually think this is a tad more interesting a movie. Perhaps because Wolverine and Gambit are my favorite X-Men characters(I used to have Gambit as a toy when I was a kid! Loved him from the animated series I saw during the 90's). Would have been nice if they had included Gambit some more. In my opinion it was too many mutants with too little screen time and character development each. Despite this the movie is interesting and action filled with the most important characters being explored properly.
This movie seem to be as underrated as No Country for Old Men was overrated (not saying the latter isn't good - just not That good!). This is a movie worth seeing and I'd grade it a neat 7.5 - giving it an 8 on IMDb because it's underrated.
