Quite boring

Rating: 4/10 (25 September 2011)

I am really surprised that so many people liked this movie. I found it quite boring. Maybe they thought it was a good idea to cast Kevin Bacon as a psycho ex Nazi mutant scientist but I think it was really, really a bad idea. The two leads were okay but for the most part the story was just so, so and really didn't help define the characters at all. In fact some of Erik (ultimately Magneto's) actions are inconsistent to what he should have done with all of his power. Again the character of Charles Xavier is a weakling who is way too emotional about his friends to be effective as a leader. The comic book Xavier has always been better than anything they have put on screen, small or large.
