1. Quality

2. Summary

   Very Good 3.5

   While not as good as the first two ‘X-men’ movies, this film is enjoyable enough to merit a rent. The acting is great (with the exeption of Halle “I’m going to pout if I don’t get more scenes” Berry) and the visuals are stunning. However, it seems that the film tries to fit too many things into the film. This makes the film seem rushed and underdeveloped.

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   Everyone does an excellent job in this film except Ms. Halle “I have an Oscar so you HAVE to give me more scenes or I’ll pout” Berry. Although, she can’t seem to drag this film down too much(even though she tries her hardest). Hugh Jackman is one of the best actors I’ve seen in a long while (and not just in this film). Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart need no long-winded speeches from a shlub like me.

5. Male Stars Perfect 5.0

8. Male Costars Perfect 5.0

10. Film

    Very Good 3.5

11. Direction Good 3.0

    Brett Ratner tries really hard but he just can’t seem to direct his film as well as the first two were directed by Bryan Singer. His film lacks something, perhaps because he tried to fit too much in.
