Excellent I'm glad to see the film move out of the comic book Shadow

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2006)

Well i was expecting a crap film based on the comics, with all the hero's being turned into films there has been one small mistake, the X men is a story about many individuals and in a 90 min film you cant give the characters depth like you would in the comics.
OK so how do you combat this, kill off some hero's. Cyclops gets whacked and then Professor X, Mystique gets taken out of the picture and even at the end of the film Magneto is finally silenced.
This gives the other characters a chance to shine with Ice Man Finally getting some action when he squares up against Pyro (Yeah we didn't see that coming) excellent battle at the end of the film and even though it seems like this might be the last film there is always something which says nah were goina see another one, Thanks to the writers for getting rid of magneto i mean hes a good bad guy an all that but what about apocalypse and Mr sinister there is a whole host of bad guys out there Bit disappointed with the casting though i felt Vinnie Jones as the Jugernaught is a bit Stupid and why wasn't Collosus Russian Also Angel/Warren was a bit of a no show he didn't do anything except save one person, i know it was his dad but come on he flew all that way least he could have done was get some drinks or something Kelsey Grammar as Beast thought Kinda worked there is hope yet Overall this is a good film unless you are an absolute fool who goes on about it not following the comics or the cartoon But lets introduce some more characters now, Apocalypse as the new bad guy and lets get Gambit in the picture we all like him right
