House of M: The Movie

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2006)

I really enjoyed the movie. There were some things that i thought were rushed slightly (ie. the fights) but i believe the film was very well made. There will be some of the fanboys out there who will complain that things are different than in the comics, but those people have to realize that this isn't a comic book. It's a film. Things will be different because comic books aren't very realistic and a filmmaker can't tell part of a story in 20 minutes that took comics years to tell. Being a huge comic book fan, i always look for moments in comic book films where the writer can creatively add in moments from the comics, and X3 did just that. This was the first of the movies that actually felt like an X-Men story. The other two, while being extremely well made films, felt like movies about characters from X-Men, instead of a film that actually captured the feel of the comic books.
