not perfect, but who cares?

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2006)

not bad at all! Being an X-men fan (well, 10 years ago, now I' m rather old for comic books)and having seen both previews films more than once (so, more than the usual critic),I think that this sequel completes really well the series. Well, you don't leave the theater with the impression of a masterpiece, but come on! It' s X-men, not Tarkovsky! The script is the best of the three, although sometimes we feel the director does not fully take advantage of that. Maybe sometimes one scene should be longer or some things omitted etc. But this doesn't spoil the film. As for the plot I think it is more raw and primitive than the others, more about human characteristics and passions than politics and racism.Seeing it that way you 'll find that this film doesn't lack the depth we saw in the others, only chooses a different perspective. And for us not-specialists the direction won' t present any considerable flaw. If you liked the other two films, you should definitely see that too.
