i have always be a fan of the x men and since the animated series air ( i would never really read any of the comic though . ^_^ ) . so when i hear they be make a movie about them and i be count the day until it be release . maybe that affect how i view the movie and but i be a bit disappointed . director brian singer ( usual suspect ) do a good job with what he get . the multiple character and etc . the whole project seem a bit safe and though and a if the producer want to make sure this big production do not flop . it a good movie and but not a great one . fan of the x men might be especially disappointed if their favorite character do not include either wolverine or rogue . mine personally be cyclops and but he have a minor role . james marsden and who play cyclops and be a bit on the stiff side and but i forgive him because i like him a an actor . on that note and all the actor do an excellent job and especially patrick stewart and ian mckellan and a the force of good and evil . it bring an endearing humanistic side to a story i have think be dominate by sci fi . if youre an x men fan and i would definitely recommend this film but you probably have already see it . what x men fan would miss out . if youre not a fan and maybe this movie can be a starting point for a new obsession . represento ) .
