This movie seems to be getting mixed reviews all over the place. Some are pissed because they don’t like what the director did, others are happy to see a character like Beast, and others just like that they’re watching another comic book movie.
I thought that the movie was good while I was watching it. There was an interesting story and some unbelievable deaths in the movie. However, as I was watching it I began to realize that there was something sorta wrong going on here. The thing is, while you’re watching the movie, you can’t really sit and think what is wrong with the story because there is always something else going on that draws your attention.
For instance, there is a part in the movie where Professor X is killed (or so you would think unless you stick around until after the credits). Anyone who ever read the comics (I did not) or knows anything about the series (I do) knows that this is a completely ridiculous event. The guys is supposed to be this big super human mutant or whatever. I’m not quite sure how it works, all I know is that he’s not supposed to die.
The thing is, you can’t stop to figure out what the hell is going on because the house is flying and Magneto is getting his ass kicked and there’s just a big mess going on.
I don’t want to give away too much of the movie. If you’ve got the money, I would suggest going out to see this movie.
