Some considerations about the movie

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2003)

I think some people here critisized some aspects in the movie without paying much attention in some parts.
At First, i think this is a very well done effort from Singer. I consider this a perfect mix between X-Men comics and the movie. The new cinematic mutant universe proves that it can stand in its own...
Lets see:
SPOILERS
"Nightcrawler is a great character, although after the opening fight scene (arguably the best scene in the entire film) he changes into a completely different character almost immediately".
The Nightcrawler character is different in the beggining because he is in Striker's hands. Its very clear in the plot. See Scott, Magneto and Xavier...
"Wolverine, for example, was created by a human (not a God, by the way), as was his worthy adversary near the end of the film".
Wolverine was a mutant before get contact with Striker. He was chosen by the villain to have his bone changed to adamantiun because of his "healing powers"...
"(spoilers) I was disappointed with the fate of Jean Grey, even if only because her `death' was so avoidable".
There is a very special purpose in her act, but you only will see it in the third movie. The hint is: If a mutant can't control enormous powers, the only solution is isolation...
"However, even the most basically educated members of the audience, who realize that the iron in your blood is not exactly metal, will probably appreciate the way this was pulled off (that is, of course, if they were able to see the screen enough while repeatedly slapping their foreheads in disbelief)".
What scientist or doctor told you this? yes, we have metal in our composition...and there are people that have large mount of iron in their bloods and still living at certain point. But this is fiction, not documentary. Superman can fly, and so Magneto can extract metal from a guard, and Neo can dodge bullets. Its only a movie!!!
