Lack of personality this movie is..

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2011)

It's entertaining yes..for the eyes especially. It's the only reason why I give it 4 stars instead of 1. To spend the next 120 minutes with super power hero versus villain kind of action, then this movie is acceptable. But to be called as the prequel of the X-Men? Don't think so..
I kept on wondering on the first place after I've done watching this movie, what's missing? And I found what's was missing, through some quite genuine reviews from some of the honest intelligent reviewer (and perhaps whose truly a big fans of X-Men).
The whole story is lack of personality, and especially the characters. Quoting one's comments (Sasson's I think): "X-MEN was never, at it's very core and it's most fundamental message- a one-man show. X-men in many of it's incarnations, celebrated unity and celebrated TRUE friendship & camaraderie" Looking at the character, you just won't feel any connection, emotional attachment kind of feelings (despite the fact that the movie was trying to bring out such a heavy topic as "accepting your self"). Some character just pop-out (and even die in instance), for no meaning at all. There's no teamwork, no moral questioning (instead we're being directed that this one is good, that one is bad), it's just plain and shallow.
A bunch of teenage with super power are gathered around the world (or it's just America?), and suddenly they all friends with each other?? Don't they have their own personal issue? What it seems to me, they all just instantly click with each other, hang around together, showing off their "super-power" abilities, making it looks like a totally cheap suck-off powers.
You totally can't relate to the characters, that you won't even regret when one of the character is dead. Taking one extreme example, what's the "butterfly girl" so called as Angel character is actually gone for? Well, yes she got the curvy body, and beautiful dragonfly kind of wings (not mention her acid saliva), but then what? Suppose if this character being taken off from the movie, it won't affect the storyline whatsoever.
Some of the reviewer says that the CGI effects was lame. I think it's not pure lame, but maybe lack of artistic touch. I've seen Raven shape-shifting her body like so many times in this movie, but it's nothing artistic about the shape-shifting scene. She would just, literary deformed in instance along with those blue spiky things going around her body.
I remember watching the first sequel of X-Men, and being fascinated by the way Mystique transform her body. With silhouette, camera move slowly following her transformation. That's what I called artistic, not just a plain effect on the eye! In the end, I just don't understand how this movie get's reviewed with such a high score in IMDb. I shouldn't really trust all the reviewer in here (is it possible that they're being paid to write??) as you shouldn't trust plainly on this review. But go ahead, watch the movie, and see if it's actually true what I've written in here (along with some other "genuine" reviewer who not hesitate to give the 1 star score).
Sorry for any grammatical error, English was never my mother-tongue anyway^^
