Smart, fashionable, and very cool

"X-Men" is a rare treat-- a blockbuster that lives up to its hype and a comic book adaptation that hits the mark.

Along with Tim Burton'south "Batman", this stands caput and shoulders in a higher place all other superhero movies. Information technology'south a genre that's usually synonymous with silly, campy, cartoonish crap, but Bryan Vocalizer delivers a long-awaited exception to the rule. "10-Men" is smart, stylish, and very cool... one of the improve sci fi/fantasy films of the last decade.

Of grade, it helps to have adept source cloth.

The X-Men comics, which originated in the 1960s, are more than politically progressive and morally circuitous than older superhero stories such as "Superman" where the heroes are always correct, and truth, justice, and the American Mode always prevail. The series is a well-crafted parable well-nigh individuality and discrimination. The characters are mutants--struggling to find a place in a society that rejects them. Its primary villain, Magneto, isn't an evil lunatic-- he's a sympathetic grapheme, a misguided revolutionary playing Huey Newton to Professor Xavier'southward Martin Luther Male monarch. The iconic character, Wolverine, is a beer-swilling anti-hero who cares footling for ideals and fights only to protect himself and his loved ones. The female person characters are every bit powerful and important as the men, rather than being mere love interests.

Rather than making just some other flashy explosion-per-infinitesimal-special-effects-extravaganza, Vocaliser practices the lost arts of character and plot evolution. As a result, the movie has a far greater depth than the average large budget summer picture show. The acting is besides quite practiced on the whole. Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine, is fantastic--a bona fide Clint Eastwood caliber badass. Some of the dialogue is fairly cheesy, merely in the hands of Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart it sounds quite convincing. (Stewart has made a career out of making lame dialogue sound cool.)

Hard-core fans of the comics take complained about the omission of several pop X-Men. This is giddy. A movie that gave the background on every graphic symbol in the comic books would be half dozen hours long. At that place will exist plenty of time to develop new characters in the forthcoming sequels. Fans have besides complained near the casting of Anna Paquin every bit Rogue. I disagree. Rogue is unable to impact another human being without harming them--she would not realistically human action like a confident, sassy warrior. Paquin did a tremendous task of conveying the fright and isolation that such a young adult female would feel. She volition undoubtedly abound into the function in future movies.

In the end, "Ten-Men" is a comic volume movie. Superpowers are explained with silly pseudoscientific babble, the plot revolves around a fairly ridiculous take-over-the-earth scheme, and names similar "Magneto" are spoken with a straight confront. Don't read all the glowing reviews and expect Citizen Kane. But don't underestimate "X-Men" either. It is an intelligent movie that people will enjoy whether or not they are familiar with the comic.
