Valutazione di Ian Mc-3
I saw this on its opening day of July 12 in Australia. Having watched the animated TV series about 9 years ago I knew a "Fair" amount about the X men but I wasn't a long term fan of the comic (never bought one). So was I expecting to grow to love the characters of this Bryan Singer film in only 2 hours?
Y-E-S!!!! From Magneto's heartbreaking separation from his parents, to Rogue's near fatal bedroom pash to Wolverine's "X-treme Fighting" introduction, I was instantly gripped by these characters. The writing was flawless, the plot moved along very fast but for an action movie I was amazed how little this adventure was plot driven and how majorly it was character driven.
I couldn't believe I was looking at Hugh Jackman, the musical theatre pretty boy as the meanest toughest superhero of them all, Wolverine.......what an acting standout! He even stole the show away from Patrick Stewart and that is no small feat. When I saw how far down the list Anna Paquin's name was on posters I thought "She'll be lucky to even say anything in the movie let alone act up to her potential........all I can say is the on screen pairing of Wolverine and Rogue is Cinema magic.....I cried when "That" scene (you know the one....let sleeping dogs lie....)occurred.
In fact the whole movie overwhelmed me emotionally. I went "Wow!" at the action and most action movies don't do that to me (seen one building explode you've seen them all) but the fight scenes, especially the one on top of the Statue of Liberty were fantastic. It was also symbollic to fight for justice and humanity on the symbol of liberty I thought.
Everything was spot on, the bickering of Cyclops and Wolverine, the calm cold war chess game mind set between proffessor X and Magneto and the mesmerizing body of Mystique made sure I didn't look away from the screen once during the whole movie.......heck I even stayed right to the last credit in case there was a "One Shot" to give a clue of a sequel.....
The best comic book to screen adaption EVER, even outdid Superman the Movie and that is the ultimate compliment.
10/10

True Star Trek fans will find humour in the title of my review, just as they will find humour in EVERYTHING in this wonderful movie. A friend of mine and I saw it together and had wet collars on our shirts from the tears of laughter.
I am about as hard-core as trekkers get and what I don't know about trek trivia could fit on a pin head, every visual joke, every background scene, every bit of musical score and every line uttered.....i got it all and laughed non-stop. The only jokes I would have used that they didn't wouldn't fall within PG rating parimeters.
Tim Allen's character was obviously the best Shatner impersonation I've ever seen......well done Tim! From the stature, the tanned chest/shirt off slight blood fight scene down to the roll from rock to rock way of moving 10 feet on a planet, he was perfect!
Sigourney Weaver was obviously 7 of 9 the Borg babe on Voyager who doesn't really have a ship board function except for regulation 12 subsection 4..."Wear the catsuit with boobs lifted up gravity defyingly high!", the fact she she said she knows she doesn't REALLY do anything made her all the funnier!
Alan Rickman has always made me laugh, from Die Hard and Prince of Thieves to this gem, he is brilliant as the combination of Patrick Stewart's shakespearean actor and disgruntled star (ala Leonard Nimoy being peeved as being called spock in the street for the last 30 odd years) accusing the lead actor of stealing lines over the years.
Tony Shaoulab was the big surprise though, apart from Men in Black hadn't seen him before, his "Anti-Scotty" demeanour was spot on! When he announced an imminent explosion like he was asking for headache tablets instead of Scotty's ravings about being unable "..ta' change tha' laws o' physics!!!!!!" was 10 times funnier than if he had played it over the top like Jimmy Doohan did.
I also loved the dark actor from veronica's closet (name gone-mental block) who was a hybrid of wesley crusher (since his character was a child pilot in the earlier ep's of Galaxy Quest) and Geordie La Forge (smart mouth and quick wit) ....and crewman 6, the expendable red shirt? What a brilliant idea to put him in EVERY conceivable death situation and let him keep going to the next, he was like "Kenny" in South Park. You just kept waiting for his demise with baited breath, but in a NICE way (you know?).
The Thermians? They RULE!!! They absolutely made this movie great. Every time they spoke, walked, ran, smiled or even entered a scene I was doubled over with laughter......excellent idea creating these guys!
On a different note, I LOVED the ship! It was visually very impressive and the space battle scenes did not look cheap, a lot of effort went in and it showed........where can I buy the model the kid had on his desk??????
Best comedy of ANY genre since LIAR LIAR!!!

A truly excellent example of how everyone has a skeleton in their closet and how sooner or later someone opens the door and gets killed in the avalanche of bones.
What an amazing assortement of characters in this one little suburban street of anywhere, America. There's the man in midlife suppressed in his individuality by his wife's obsession to be better than everyone else......the spoilt daughter who has everything materialistically she could want (molded in mother's image there) but can't feel loved because it wasn't a priority growing up ......... a young man physically and psychologically abused by his father looking for a way out and only finding it in a fantasy world of drugs and video moments, not reality ....... a pompous little pretty girl who thinks the world was created so she would have an audience to bask in her percieved magnificence......a wife who self medicates her depression instead of confronting her husband's demons....... and a gay couple.
The above paragraph strangely enough could also have come from my personal journal describing neighbours, work colleagues and relatives. I have seen discovered secrets ruin many lives around me and I am a "Lester" of sorts. What you see is what you get, no pretences and certainly no excuses. This guy was the embodiment of myself taken to the nth degree in everyway, he is my hero.
When you are losing the game of life, playing by society's rules do as he did ..........reinvent the game so you can win on your terms and make losers out of the other participants.
What was the most important realisation in the film? Look at the 2 most underused characters in the film......the 2 jims. The screenplay glides by these 2, not because the film has nothing to say about homosexuality, but because the film is about what destroys souls........not being true to yourself destroys you. These 2 had no skeletons, no secrets, no "appearances of success" apart from reality. There was nothing beyond their appearance, nothing to strip away and therefore by movie's end they were the only characters that wouldn't have to forever change their attitudes......everyone else had to take stock and wake up to themselves.
Lesters of the world unite !!!! ......now where is that personell office address for my work? I'm starting my "I Rule!" job description paper today!
