Even as a fan of really, really bad movies, this is too much. The Robot Ninja is neither a robot or a ninja. There's a lame Mike Meyers joke in there somewhere.

The movie couldn't have cost more than like $20, and honestly, my friend and some kids he knew in high school came up with a vastly superior film over the course of a summer in rural Massachusetts.Regardless, its worse than <i> Matrix Revolutions</i> but not so bad as <i> House of the Dead</i>.

1.5 out of 10.372 on the secret Calculando Calrissian scale. (That isn't good)

As a huge X-Men fan (read: dork) I was somewhat underwhelmed by the mediocre generica of the first X-Men movie (X1?). Not expecting much badassery from the fancy dude from Cabaret as Nightcrawler, I was glad to see a well developed, cool character with a great deal of substance. The acting, especially from the "ringers" (McKellen and Stewart) was really good and the story had plenty of "nerd" moments (Is that Hank McCoy?). Now, the one caveat of the film is Wolverine. Jackman did a good job of playing his character, he just isn't Wolverine. Wolverine is a badass by nature, and he should brawl and get torn up, but the guy in this movie is basically a monkey with knives glued to his hands. Wolverine is a damn samurai, he shouldn't lose ANY fight, let alone every single one (with a major character anyway). Wolverine is considered one of the most dangerous men in the world in the comic version, but in the films, he relies on his healing far, far too much. On powers alone, Wolverine is strictly B-grade, but its the intangibles, the "Batman factor" that makes him one of the elites. Maybe I'm just bitter, the movie was pretty awesome.

I don't know why, but I think myself and my associates Jon and Trevor are the only people in the world who enjoyed this movie. We all individually came to the conclusion that this was one of the finest movies of all time. I really, really liked it, and I am anything but a fan of the musical stylings of Mr. Zombie. I thought it was refreshing that there weren't 30,000 gallons of blood, and I really liked the confusing, slap-dash pace of the film. True, I did enter the theatre expecting something esoteric and looney, but I think that was the whole point. No character was uninteresting, and the dialogue had no cringingly bad exchanges, a phenomenon to which I am extremely succeptable.
