Good news, its a good flick

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2006)

I've been reading all the reviews as of late for the movie, about how this and that just didn't click and what not, well, I just got out and I have to say it was a good conclusion. I'll be honest that I personally have not been reading the comics since I was a child, so I cannot tell you if the mutants were used well, or enough for that matter. What I can tell you is that the story was set up very well, it did not seemed rushed or like to much was crammed in. It introduced new mutants to the series, but you have to understand, this is likely the last film, so just to get them in was great. No, a lot of them don't have much screen time, but if they did, the movie would have been two titanics long, and that would have sucked. But like I said, the pacing was good, not to slow and not too fast. The special effects were right on the money. Some mutants were cured that I wish hadn't, but that really is my only complaint. The Beast was a great addition to the film and really kicked butt. Juggernaut was fun and I think he definitely got good screen time, as well as Kitty Pryde. Wolverine entered a new level of beating the crap out of people, and Storm became a much better fighter. The movie is entertaining and well worth seeing on the big screen. Ratner did a great job in my mind of matching Synger's work. Go see it and judge for yourself, I think most of you will enjoy it. Plus it had the preview to snakes on a plane before it. Good flick, enjoy. P.S. Do stay til the end of the credits for hope if nothing else.
