My husband and I just saw X-Men, and I must that though the movie was one long introduction and seemed bent on creating a future movie franchise, I am all excited to find some X-men comic books. I casually read my brother's as a kid, but I now I want to get to know the characters better, 'cuz I sure as hell didn't get to know them in the film. I kept bugging my husband through the movie asking "isn't there another X-man named XYZ?", and so forth.
The special fx were TIGHT, though.
If anyone can point me to any good online X-men resources, I'd appreciate it.
Okay, Halle can't act her way out of a paper bag (and I'm STILL mad at her for assassinating Dorothy Dandridge's character by playing her) and her "porn star wig" didn't help matters much. And didn't Storm used to call up the heavens by some sort of incantation? Oh well, I wasn't expecting much from her, and as usual, Ms. Berry didn't disappoint.
Wolverine was the stuff! And I thought he was kinda sexy, too. But then again, even though he was bad, Magneto (Patrick Stewart) was working the sexy thing too.
My advice: go to the matinee and pay $5.50 (or the dollar show, if you can wait a few weeks).
