Brian Singer is a genius . . .

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2003)

Movies like this are supposed to have flaws. In both Spider-Man and Daredevil, I found myself annoyed and confused that they tried to pack over 40 years of comic books into about two hours. What annoyies me even further is that I like Daredevil comics much more than X-Men. But this movie is different.
In X-Men back in 2000, it was a good movie. The only flaw of that movie was that they spent too much time on origins and explaining the whole X-Men universe. This is a flaw with all other superhero movies, and it cannot be avoided. But now that that is over with, we can have a hell of a lot more time and fun. We get to develope a good and interesting story that keeps us on the edge of our seats.
This movie has all the elements that any movie needs, suspence, comedy, character developement, ect. Brian Singer mixes them all in nicely.
For all the comic book nerds out there (and I am one of them), you will be happy to see many X-Men cameos, for example Colossus. You will have to keep an eye out for some of them, though, because they are not all that easy to spot.
Brian Singer deserves a lot (if not all) the credit for this movie. He is a brilliant director, and people like Sam Raimi can learn a lot from this man.
All in all, I this is a great movie. I recommend it to anybody, from comic fans to general moviegoers.
My rating: 9/10
