Not up to par

Rating: 3/10 (28 May 2006)

This one was not what it could have been. X-men is about the "awe" and the love that drives them and keeps them together. The dialogue was weak and and unsupported. The foreshadowing was a little to obvious! The younger x-men seemed misplaced on the set, and gave the appearance of simply introducing them for a later movie rather than developing some sort of conflict/resolution with meaning. Why was Rogue's role so trivialized? Why did Wolverine remain so calm and civilized? And, Storm's new role was given away in the beginning. Wow, I wonder what's going to happen to Xavier? Either the writers or the director should have put a little more thought into the story board!
