I think I'm going to say something snobby...First off, I have to say that I am going to try and see Matrix: Reloaded in theatres, with some reservations, along with Kill Bill and X2.I liked the first X-Men movie. Well, I liked it right up to the point when I read the rejected script. Shortly after the movie came out I believe the Atlantic Monthly published an article on the author of the rejected X-Men script, a writer who embraced the darker, edgier rebel side of comic books that appears here and there. The original X-Men script was a ballad about consumer culture, man bowing down to the plastic idol, and the dark things those men hold in their hearts. It was about the purest representation of diversity, the mutants, facing off against the grand lie of modern living, about the micromanaging of reality. I think it was brilliant.I am a friend of campy films, but I dislike seeing a genuinely creative vision stamped out in favor of camp.</blockquote>
