X-men wasn't that good. I'm not upset I saw it, but was left wanting. Only two characters were really developed to any extent and the climax was lacking. The special effects were good and the story true to Marvel form. But it wasn't even really that much of an action movie to warrant chopping out half an hour of the sort of dialogue that might have brought the other characters to life. IT certainly must be said that it was the best mainstream-comic-to-film conversion that's been done in a long time, but that's not really much of a kudo on its own. I guess the bottom line is this -- hardcore fans will find both things to love and things to dislike and a number of in-jokes, and everyone else will find an average movie with a few nice quirks, some nice fights but by and large a lot of stuff that feels pretty empty. Rogue and Wolverine eclipsed the two actors you'd think would shine the brightest.
