x men be a rare treat a blockbuster that live up to it hype and a comic book adaptation that hit the mark . along with tim burton batman and this stand head and shoulder above all other superhero movie . it a genre that usually synonymous with silly and campy and cartoonish crap and but bryan singer delivers a long awaited exception to the rule . x men be smart and stylish and and very cool . one of the good sci fi or fantasy film of the last decade . of course and it help to have good source material . the x men comic and which originate in the 1960s and be more politically progressive and morally complex than old superhero story such a superman where the hero be always right and and truth and justice and and the american way always prevail . the series be a well craft parable about individuality and discrimination . the character be mutant struggle to find a place in a society that reject them . it primary villain and magneto and isn not an evil lunatic he a sympathetic character and a misguided revolutionary playing huey newton to professor xavier martin luther king . the iconic character and wolverine and be a beer swill anti hero who care little for ideal and fight only to protect himself and his loved one . the female character be a powerful and important a the men and rather than be mere love interest . rather than make just another flashy explosion per minute special effect extravaganza and singer practice the lost art of character and plot development . a a result and the movie have a far great depth than the average big budget summer flick . the acting be also quite good on the whole . hugh jackman and who play wolverine and be fantastic a bona fide clint eastwood caliber badass . some of the dialogue be fairly cheesy and but in the hand of ian mckellan and patrick stewart it sound quite convincing . ( stewart have make a career out of make lame dialogue sound cool . ) hard core fan of the comic have complain about the omission of several popular x men . this be silly . a movie that give the background on every character in the comic book would be 6 hour long . there will be plenty of time to develop new character in the forthcoming sequel . fan have also complain about the casting of anna paquin a rogue . i disagree . rogue be unable to touch another human be without harm them she would not realistically act like a confident and sassy warrior . paquin do a tremendous job of convey the fear and isolation that such a young woman would feel . she will undoubtedly grow into the part in future movie . in the end and x men be a comic book movie . superpower be explain with silly pseudoscientific babble and the plot revolve around a fairly ridiculous take over the world scheme and and name like magneto be speak with a straight face . don not read all the glow review and expect citizen kane . but do not underestimate x men either . it be an intelligent movie that people will enjoy whether or not they be familiar with the comic .
