I love X-Men. I don't read a lot of stories but the X-men movies were some of the first Superhero shows to draw me in. So last night I went to it in theaters. I don't go to the movies a lot but it has seemed to be more frequent lately. Perhaps because it gives me a night out from my child or perhaps it is because there are actually movies playing I want to see before they hit dvd. Anyways, here is my review without the plot line once again. Why waste time on telling you what the show is about?
Loved it, well done, better quality that X-Men Origins: Wolverine. A lot more of a story to it than Thor. For someone like me who has only gone to the marvel website to read the biographies of the mutants it was fun to see how they came to be who they were in the other X-Men stories. And of course a cameo of Wolverine was brilliant (I believe i know females who would watch the show just to see him in his few seconds and well-placed line of "f*** you". I'm pretty sure that it was the only movie I have ever seen where the random "f" bomb has been dropped and you are not taken by surprise... but I digress.
As a female it was enjoyable to see young, handsome Charles and Eric. Seriously, I would have followed Eric to the dark side. You even see how justifiable his point is in becoming Magneto. While I knew he and Mystic would become "the bad guys", it still was sad.
I did not cry in the show, swoon, but not cry.
As I said the story line was well thought out in my opinion and the show didn't seemed to be bogged down in too many special effects and fight scenes as superhero movies often are. All in all, I liked it (or hadn't you noticed) and would recommend it as a good addition the the superhero movies. Also, Michael Fassbender is easy on the eyes and who can resist James McAvoy?
I'm pretty sure that if their are any males reading this review they are shaking their heads. But they have their own hot, scantly clad females to stare at. Let us have our good looking men.
