"X-Men" (2000)

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

While it does have its share of witty character moments, overall I found this movie a little too slow and unfulfilling. It has about as much content and stakes as a TV episode, and feels about as long as well; nothing particularly grand ever happens. Still, it does have its highlights, like the accident with Rogue in Wolverine's bedroom, and especially the teamwork in the climax. But on the whole, it's not really anything special. Now, X-Men 2, on the other hand… we'll get to that awesomeness here: www.listal.com/viewentry/6423252! :) I'd actually recommend watching the two back-to-back, because that's exactly what this one feels like: a warm-up before the feature presentation.
