just see it...............

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2006)

Just like the X-Men comics (and Superman, Metal Men, Batman, Justice League, Green Lantern, etc., etc.)that I read when I was a kid sometimes they were great, sometimes good but always entertaining. That's why I read them. Let's not be hypercritical here. This current installment of X-Men is good entertainment. Certainly some of the best movie viewing in the last 4 or 5 months. Thinking back....what's been better? Pretty bleak out there since King Kong.
Enhanced powers and better hair-do for 'Storm'. Expanded role for Jean. Clarification of levels of powers by category for the Mutants in general. Decent storyline, execution and scoring. Very good effects. Check out "Marvel Universe" on Wikipedia....it provides a lot of insight into the milieu of the entire concept.
I enjoyed this and I wish it had run longer. If you like the genre, you'll enjoy this movie too. See it at a matinée. That way if you don't like it at least you would have only spent $5. Think about it, where can you find decent entertainment for a couple of hours for only 5 bucks?
I give it a 7.5 ................
