Fun summer movie.. good performances.

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2006)

This is my favorite X-men movie so far. I liked the action as a fan of the comics it's tough to watch in some parts. The movie overall has better pace then the other films imho. I thought as long as you treat the movie as an alternate Xmen universe you will have fun. The What if story lines and the Cameos of other mutants does drive me a little crazy. I think the only place this movie missed was being more loyal to the original IP which was better written. The acting the direction everything else was great I had fun watching it. I think it's a fun summer movie and i'm glad I saw it on the big screen. It's hard to make a film about mumbo jumbo like mutant powers and soap opera story lines. This one does a good job of adding lots of action to make the mumbo jumbo fun.
