Merely a Disappointment....

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2006)

First off, I'd like to mention that X-men was my favorite comic book from Marvel, and I grew up watching the TV cartoons and the comic books. Although I'm not a "dedicated" fan, I can easily say that X-men was something that was part of me when I grew up. X-men, Spiderman, and Batman.
This movie, I have to admit, let a tremendous disappointment to those who followed the comic book. Killing off such vital characters in the mere beginning made me tinge, because these characters were the huge backbone of the X-men. The story was definitely offplace, and characters least understood. Juggernaut was not how I thought he'd look, as well as the other characters in the film.
The movie itself was still outstanding, however. It did provide action buffs with tons of explosions and CG effects, as well as an awesome finale against Magneto's forces and Xavier's X-men. It also did leave some trail of X-2 feelings behind, almost with the same feel.
As a movie, it was an OK performance, but as a X-men fan, this was a disappointment.
