Another Disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2006)

So let's see.. we're going to make a movie, right? Let's imagine it as robot that needs components.
First of all, we need special effects - no problem. Next, we need characters. Let's take a good guy and a bad guy. That usually works. Next, we want a good teenager, a rebel teenager and a nice young girl, a stupid younger brother that doesn't seem to be reasoning at all and an older brother that is heart broke. Of course, his family doesn't accept him as he is. That works very well. We do not want to leave the ones not fit in society out, so we use Storm, the teleporter guy and the shape shifter. Storm will be angry and will survive through that, the second will have faith and they will have a short (not to boring, about 30 sec) discussion in which they will appear (in some obvious way, because we do not want the people to watch the movie and not understand a thing) as the two opposing pillars of philosophy. Now for the bomb. We will make someone good die. Ha. But not the teleporter, that teleport-through-wall thing must work, make it not complicated, not storm, not the nice girl... hmm.. not the little children, heavens! Let's not kill anybody, let's just pretend that Jean dies (in a 1 minute super heroic meant-to-cry scene). For even more originality, let's get the rebel fire guy become the bad guy's apprentice.
I could continue but i believe i have made my point. The movie is a big set of clichés, scrambled together as in a collection. The movie seems to be made for money (and for children). 7.9 is too much. It is nearly 8, and 8 means a good movie. 6.5 - 7
Please tolerate my poor English, as I am not a native English speaker.
