Psychic Professor Xavier leads a school of skilled mutants called X-Men, a peacekeeping force to safeguard the world against a race of genetically mutated humans known as Homo Sapiens Superior. However, Magneto, a mutant with a powerful magnetic charge, has also begun to organize a team to strike first against what he believes to be a threat from humanity. When he kidnaps Rogue from the X-Men's compound, Xavier and his forces must rescue her, even as they continue to vie with Magneto for the fearsomely strong mutant battler Wolverine. Both Xavier and Magneto also have to contend with Senator Kelly, a heartless political leader who wants a final solution against mutants on both sides.
This is a pretty good action/sci-fi film and if you're into comic books, you won't be disappointed as it stars one of the most popular superhero teams. They did a very good job using special effects to create each character's "super powers." The fight scenes were pretty cool and used some unusual camera angles to capture the action. The plot is straight from the comic book, so it's a little out there, but it was entertaining none the less. Of course, now I'll have to watch the second and third parts of the trilogy to complete the story.
Rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn
I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
