"X-Men" moves on the verge of really good action movie with depth, without ever going over completely, however. The special effects are terrific - fighting mutants mask and technology representation bring a big "thumbs up" lighting and camera reveal solid craftsmanship, but without drifting into areas of art cinema Most actors can also convince -.. Often comic characters were so successful a portrait as Example as Wolverine or Xavier in the film. As a comparison for the adaptation quality "Spawn" has most likely to, although the socially compatible X-Men do not reach the gloomy atmosphere. Especially when I saw Wolverine against the film with skepticism - and am absolutely thrilled kicked out of the theater on time Einburgh's streets. When seasoning a few allusions to the comic series happy to insiders - as is the question Cyclop's for the yellow dress, normally the "Men in Tights" -Clothes Wolverines. The downside: Of course, the psyche of the people is hardly deeper than a bucket, and the plot is exciting, but quite predictable in the plots - with what is on the original course. In some places, human touch that it crashes. And what may seem really touching in a few moments, can often drop out of the speakers also quiet the lard. The story itself moves rudimentary at the graphic novel "god loves, one kills" along, and shows by the fictitious hatred of the general population on superior mutants with super skills the fear of Americans from being different. In contrast to the clear sozialkritischeren Schreibwerkstatt the focus of the film but rather on the struggle between the forces employed superior super villain Magneto, who wants to establish mutants as a superior ruler-race, and the humanistic, titular "X-Men" school for highly gifted. Bitter swipes against the people and their potential for violence against minorities keep within narrow limits. Still offers the canvas spectacle as mild side effects more depth and food for thought than the usual action fare. Unless the critical part: o *. Now the fan opinion:. "X-Men rocks" comic and friends of well-made action movie with a strong push Fantasy / SF will definitely have their great joy at the strip bizarre villains with super powers compete against just such Clean Men and outdo each other with effect rich fighting diabolical plans and the desperate struggle for survival almost an entire city. The cast is almost perfect, there are plenty of Cliff-Hanger mitzufiebern to solid, and as already mentioned bring effects and appearance a distinct rash after top of the rating scale. Compared with other Hero movies I would the film in the top league between spawn colonize the upper limit and lower than Batman I dash, with a trend upwards. The purchase of the English version is worth it really only for foregone original friends or a native speaker who really want to realize every pun the point of it and stand on Patrick Stewart in the original sound. Spokesman and synchronization are so well done that you do not have to advise against the purchase of (significantly less expensive) German version. Cuts are not noticed in comparison, ultimately is indeed the original no "blood'n gore" -Movie represents. "'Nuff said."
