Great movie, better than original

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2003)

I am not a big fan of the comic books, and I saw very little of the X-Men TV show. As a first viewer of the X-Men universe in the first flick, I was instantly captivated by the realm of the X-men. These movies are testaments to the technical achievements available in today's movies, where comic book style action can be accomplished realiztically. These movies do a great job of making the special effects an integral part of the plot and development of the movie, and they are amazing as well. Couple the novelty of the mutant powers with generally good acting and a decent script, and you have a great action flick that I would not mind seeing over and over again. By the way, this movie is much, much better than the Matrix reloaded!!
