I'm pretty sure Steve saw X Men last night and was gonna give him time to post up his thoughts and add mine. But, well, it's 2pm so all bets are off :-) X Men was really, really fun. The plot was pretty decent, the fighting scenes were good (though a bit on the obviously wire-intensive side) but I think what really got to me was how the characters just came alive in this movie. Dialogue and actions were just spot on for the way they developed the movie. Now, I never really followed much of the comics or the cartoons, so I didn't have some of the characterization critiques that some of the people I know that are big fans of the comic have. But for the most part, they had very minor nits and they really enjoyed the movie too. Unlike nearly every other comic book movie made (with the exception of the Transformers movie (and yes, I know they were toys before the comics...) ), this one's a real watcher in my opinion. update Steve:For once, Jack is right. The movie was the good stuff. Better than I expected and aside from one hokey line from Storm it wasnt even cheesy.
