Movie Reviews - X
X-Files Movie: I never watched the TV show, but this movie still worked. I was able to figure out what was going on. As for what WAS going on.. yes it was completely ridiculous, but entertaining all the same. I just don't get the whole x-files addiction-thing though.
X-Men: It was entertaining, and that's about all I was expecting from this movie. This is the kind of movie that could easily spawn countless sequels... just wait! I only hope they don't go rapidly downhill in the quality department.
X-Men 2: Wow, what a surprise... I wasn't expecting much from this, but I think I liked it better than the first one. They didn't have to spend so much time "explaining who the X-men are", and could get to more plot & action. Plus, I liked the multi-dimentional characters and the way this movie plays on the fine line between good & evil. There were a couple little bothersome things - like why did the one girl have to kill herself? With all these superheroes, that's the best plan they could come up with? And what happened to all those kids who escaped the "school"? It would've been neat if they had just one follow-up scene with them "doing something". But all-in-all, I found it quite entertaining.
X-Men 3: This is one series that has to try to “out do” itself with each successive release – the fate of the country… no world!, no UNIVERSE! Depends on… well, you get the point. Anyway, I did enjoy the eye-candy, and actually the acting and script was pretty darn good – an easy thing to dismiss in such a movie.
