fan-tastic

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2011)

I usually do not write reviews but on this one I just HAD to! I am a great fan of the X-Men, starting to collect the comics when I was a kid. My favorite was always Wolverine and - although the first 3 X-Men movies were okay - he was never as good as in the comics. Hugh Jackmann was just not the right guy for me... Having said that, I was not sure what this movie would be like (no Wolverine - except a short cameo). I must admit, I was more than pleasantly surprised and am tempted to state this is the best X-Men movie of all of them. I did like the first movie but they just got more and more shallow and more about Wolverine than the X-Men. However, the cast was supreme (apart from Hugh Jackman). LOVED THIS MOVIE and will Certainly recommend it to fans of the "real story" - although this was never part of it. Job well done
