- "X-Men"
(Reviewed July 16, 2000)
- I liked this one a lot, even though the action scenes were very badly directed and nowhere near state of the art. (I'm not the biggest "Matrix" fan in the world, but that movie pretty
much set the new standard for over-the-top fantasy violence, and "X-Men" looks pretty sorry when stacked up against the marvels of bullet-time.) It was the scenes at Professor X's school that I liked, and
the interactions of the team members as characters (as opposed to combatants). If Fox had any brains, they would make a "90210"-type series set at Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
Several
years back, they already did a made-for-TV movie about "Generation X" that was actually pretty good, even though nobody showed up in costume until the end of the movie.
