[QUOTE="Ristamar, post: 713631, member: 1207"] Am I the only one here that thought the first X-men movie was a bit disappointing (and I don't even read the comics that much)? Things that made me smile :) : - Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Easily the best performance in the film. - Patrick Stewart as Xavier. Casting him as Charles was a no brainer. - Tyler Mane as Sabretooth. He did well with what little he had to work with. Things that turned my stomach :( : - Halle Berry as Storm. Yech. That platinum wig was horrendous and her tiny, lanky, squeaky arse simply does not do justice to Ororo. - Ray Park as Toad. Er, yeah. Look at me, I'm Ray Park. I played Darth Maul in Episode 1. I'm acrobatic and...um.... stuff. Ok. - Ana Paquin as Rogue. I don't even know where to start.... so I won't. Though, to be fair, I'm not sure if it was her fault or the weak script/story they handed her. - Magneto. The ultimate disappointment. As much as Ian McKellen rocks, he may not have been suitable as the Master of Magnetism, but again, much of the blame falls on bland writing. His costume looked ridiculous, his scheme was lame (even by comic book standards), and he did not come off as the 'ultimate badass supervillain.' Perhaps if they had buffed him out a bit more (in regards to his physique and mutant powers), it wouldn't have been as bad. For a guy that regulary hands the entire X-men squad their asses [i]simultaneously[/i], he didn't come off as a very tough cookie. The potential for a breathtaking, high powered, special effects extravaganza between the X-men and Magneto was off the charts. Instead we only receive a small scuffle as he defends his goofy, mutant-powered gyroscope-on-crank. Total weak sauce. [/QUOTE]
