Ok, again, I am trying to make a review after months of watching. I hate the fact that I don't watch these movies of Cinemas. I am such a loser that I only watch it on DVD. No money and no friends to watch with (bitter).
As a kid, I remember bits of scenes and sequences from the X-Men cartoons. That time, I love Jubilee so much, as much as I love Beast. So, I have a certain connection to the X-men characters. They had been a part of me as a child.
But then again, this movie showed the backstory of Professor X and Magneto. Come to think of it, what makes the movie great is the drama and the complexity of the character's relationship to each other. Even though it is fantasy, the realness of human emotion is the reason why the movie is great.
I don't know, but I love Magneto better. He is not as bad as he may seem... it is just a matter of what you choose in the end, and sadly he chooses to be bad. Movies now justifies the humanity of each characters that even antagonists are depicted as JUST HUMANS--- people with emotions and reasons why they are that way.
Sad for Magneto. He chose to be bad. He must have believed in goodness. Well, we can never understand... we aren't mutants after all. In the contrary, i find the young professor X so POWERFUL yet all-knowing. The all-knowing irritating kind.
And I also want to react on the milieu! it is funny how this movie somehow made it appear that it happened within the history, we just didn't know this happened. I want to make something like this. Fiction that gives distortion to history! Haha!
I give this 3.95/5, but maybe if I watched this on a CINEMA screen, I might give it a higher rating.
