Advantages: The best comic adaption since the first Batman

Disadvantages: Alot of the scenes are at night so things do look dark

Total Destruction, Ultimate Domination.

Where previous attempts at bringing comic incarnation to the big screen failed X-Men surpasses expectations. We all know movies based on comics have never been spot on and the sme applies to X-Men. Don't expect it to be an exact conversion but appreciate the brilliant effort that was put into it. Anyway, abit about the movie.

Genre : Action/Adventure and Science Fiction/Fantasy.
Rated : PG-13 for sci-fi action violence

Starring: Patrick Stewart , Ian McKellen , Halle Berry , James Marsden , Famke Janssen
Directed by Bryan Singer

Adapted from the most popular Marvel comics of the 1990s, The X-Men are a group of genetic mutants with amazing abilities, brought together and trained by the world's most powerful telepath, Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) to help fight for his dream - a world where the mutant minority and human majority can live together in harmony - to be judged not by the fancy powers they posess, but by the content of their character. However, the Mutant Master of Magnetism, Magneto (Ian McKellen), scarred by the human brutality he's experienced, has come to believe the mutant race is superior to humanity, and should rule over them as their betters, and he's amassed a brotherhood of like-minded mutants to help achieve his goals by any means necessary. With anti-mutant sentiment prevailing at every turn, the X-Men strive to protect the very humans that fear and hate them.

Imagine people in yellow fancy outfits, or blue and red suits, do they look good or do they look silly. Generation X was poor and Justice League was no better. X-Men has our heroes in cool modern outfits that makes them look super without being silly. Special effects are great and it does give you the sense that it look faily natural rather than being fancy computer graphics. The fight scenes are played well and the slow motions give it that extra
style. Very few have seen this...just make sure you add your name to the list.
