Two Good X-men movies and one not so good one.

Rating: 4/5

This is a review of the three X-men movies, X-men, X2 X-men Unintied, and X-men The Last Stand.

-X-men
This was VERY well done. YES alot of things are different then the comics, but then I could say the same thing about Batman Begins or The Dark Knight. whats important is that the movie captures enough of the essence of the comics and I feel this movie did that well. I thought it was a good movie to make Rouge younger, it links mutation much more to puberty. also its very good that she is the main focus of the story. through her we meet the X-men, we see how mutants are cast off from humanity, and can't interact with them. Wolverine of course gets alot of spotlight but thats because he's allways been a mojor X-man. Most of the charterisastions are spot on. Magneto and his motives are very relatible. True this Sabertooth may not be as beastil or intelligent as his comic counterpart, but he isnt all that bad. he does a good job for the most part. yes I admit Storm's charture is undervalued and she has that STUPID line. baring that its a good movie. good aciton, story telling, and effects. all in all its the Best X-men movie. Mystique also looks dramticly differnt then her comic counterpar, but thats no big deal. also neither she nor Sabertooth ever worked with Magneto. but no big deal, it works for this movie. Basicly this movie is introducing us to the X-men. we start of Rouge fininding about her powers, meeting Wolverine and then the X-men. Magneto has his plans set out and Proffessor X trys to stop them. there is a great action sequence at the statue of libarty and a good end result.

-X-Men United.
A Great follow up. in the first movie we are introduced to the mutants and the X-men. here we see how humans react to the mutants and how some humants go out of their way to kill the mutants. Brian Cox excells as Stryker! this movie is very loosly based off the X-men graphic novel God Loves, Man Kills. at least a few story elements are the same. X-men face Stryker (here a devout catholic who wants to destroy mutants), the X-men team up with Magneto, Stryker wants to use Prof. X to kill all mutants, etc. this movie expands and adapts these elments quit well. we get some new mutants this time round. Nightcrawler is well played by Cumming and well realised. Pyro is well done, as is Iceman. we get to see glimses of Colossos and a few other X-men. due to Berry's objections Storm is fleshed out a bit more, but not quit as well as in comics. There are hints at the Dark Phoneix storyline, but nothing more then that. mainly the story foucus on Stryker's plan to destroy all mutants. Magneto wants to alter that plan to destroy all humans. there are some wonderful sceans in this. such as when Bobby 'comes out' to his parents about being a mutant. Wolverine finding about bits of his past and his encounter with Stryker. how he finaly decids who he wants to be. Jean's sacrifice is well played. the movie dosent pick up on the fact Mystic is Nightcrawler's mom, but no bigy. Lady Deathstrick is different in this, but she is defitly a visuly threating villiean. the fight with her and Wolverine is great. all in all this was a great sequil.

-X-men Last Stand.
I can only ask, What went wrong? I would say it's because Bryan Singer wasn't involved, but then Superman Returns wasn't all that. I was disapointed by this one. the storyline didn't entirly make sense and the chartures were not fully devloped. most dissapointing of all is that Angel just watlzes along in this movie. we dont really get to know him. he just appears in one scean and then in the next. thats about it. the orgin of Dark phoneix is naff and unconvincing. as is her desire to have Wolverine kill her. Charles motives in this movie are unforgivible and very underhanded. Beast looked good but didnt do much. What got me was here are the humans ready to 'cure' all mutants. Dark Phoneix kills a buch of humans. wovlie kills her. then all of a sudden the humans are ok with mutants. they dont want to take repisels nothing. What the heck?! It makes no sense. we get to see alot of cameos of other mutants here. various x-men, Morlocks, the Brotherhood, Juggernaut, and so on. however in the end I was disspointed by this movie. it was an unworthy follow up to the first two movies. if a future X-men movie is made i honestly hope its better then this.

(Just when I thought Last Stand was bad along comes the abismal Wolverine Orgins which made less sense and was horrible.)

any way... in my opinon the First two X-men movies were VERY well done and worth seeing more then once.
the thrid is not. personly I'd say dont bother.
