X-Men

Pros: Good movie, great special effects
Cons: Some story got twisted from the comic.

Characters
Magneto: Old friend of Professor Xavier's, has the ability to control metal, because of a magnetic mutant power. Is determined to make the world safe to mutants, by making world leaders into mutants.

Sabretooth:...

Pros: cast, special effects
Cons: inconclusive, could use some more mutants

I've never read a comic book in my life because I find them boring and dumb, but X-Men the movie is still a lot of fun and a good movie to go see with the guys. Its special effects, sci-fi thrill, and solid acting make this a movie one that makes you...

Pros: Stellar cast, good director, more depth than the average comic book movie
Cons: Where's the rest of it?

Somehow, I think there should be a warning when you read books or watch movies that are not, in themselves, the complete story. Being an avid fantasy reader (the genre where authors write trilogies before breakfast and epics before the sun goes down), I...

Pros: Stays close to the original story, much closer than one might expect.
Cons: Missing some of the familiar characters.

The phenomenon of Stan Lee's group of mutants fighting to be accepted in society has been around for quite some time. Having generated a large following, it's amazing that the jump to the silver screen wasn't made sooner.

Having watched the...

Pros: Great writing, special effects, directing and acting.
Cons: The price of DVD's on the retal market.

I love science fiction especially when it's produced with good writing and direction. Nearly everyone who is fascinated with science fiction are searching for one or two things. They enjoy the escape from reality that science fiction allows them. It's...

Pros: best comic adaptation ever
Cons: some plot holes are easily overshadowed

I awoke that morning with one thought in mind: X-Men started today in theatres. By gosh, I was going to be at the first show that day. The night before I had found that time on the Internet - 11:25 AM. My drive to the theatre was nearly that of a...

Pros: Great visual, character, and almost everything.
Cons: The "fans" may not think it's hot enough.

What more could you want from a movie? romance, danger, and a green guy with a really big tongue. Don't get it? Well, just read the opinion. You dig?

Ok, I know not all of you are the hard-core X-men read the comics everyday fans, so in order...

Pros: Explosive action, fun.
Cons: Plot is thin, borrowed and Halle Berry's performance hurts the movie.

With the exception of the first Superman and Batman movies, converting superhero comics to the big screen has always been an excercise in futility ... until now. With a script taken straight from the comics, X-Men inserts you into a world where human...

Pros: Great special effects, action and premise.
Cons: Needed more comic relief.

My husband called me last Monday and asked what our plans were for the weekend. I checked our calendar and told him we only had one commitment. He asked if I wanted to get a sitter and have a date. I was thrilled and said yes right away. Then came...

Pros: Great Movie, Good Special Effects, Interesting Sub-Plots
Cons: None I can think of.

I had heard about this movie from friends who are die-hard X-Men fans. I expected the movie to be difficult to understand from the perspective of a non-X-Men junkie. However, my expectations were quite different from reality. It was an excellent movie...

Pros: Hugh Jackman!
Cons: Well, Jet Li would be a nice addition

It's here! It's here! One of my most anticipated (and dreaded) movies has arrived. Actually, I also have dreams of becoming a mutant myself. Never mind that I have hard-pressed to explain what genetic mutations have to do with Storm controlling the...

Pros: Great Action, Great Plot, Great Acting
Cons: didn't exactly follow the comics, but it was still great

Storm, Rouge, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Professor Xavier: when most of us hear these names, a certain image comes to mind. Storm with her long white hair flowing. Rogue the girl with the red hair with a white streak. Wolverine wearing yellow....

Pros: Special effects, acting
Cons: No character development for some characters, too short,

To determine if this movie is any good, we must first look at the sides of good and evil. Always at war, the outcome of one can affect the outcome of the other. We must also look at character development, plot, special FX, is it true to the comic,...

Pros: A good comic book adaptation
Cons: too short

In the near future, a minority of people are being born with weird and wonderful powers but because of human prejudices they are seen as lower class citizens. Senator Kelly proposes a registration bill for these people, and with growing support from the...

Pros: mix of all different genres (comedy, action, sci-fi,) leaves you wanting more,stays as true as possible to the characters
Cons: although based from a comic book may not be suitable for young kids.

I went into X-men cautiously with high expectations. Seeing the trailers I thought that it looked like a real good movie but trailers can always lie and knowing the track record of movies adapted from comics I was cautious. I went on the opening night...
