This was one of the cheesiest movies I’ve ever seen.
There were seemingly hundreds of trite lines and situations - scattered like sand on a fragile sheet of glass - which is about how dense the plot is. The special effects were pretty solid, though. If you’re into that sort of thing.
The premise revolves around a cure for the X gene mutation. The bad dudes don’t dig, and the good guys say it should at least be available. A whole lot of mayhem ensues, with Jean Grey, the most powerful mutant ever, as the centerpiece. While Famke Janssen is super hot, she has only about three lines in the whole movie, all of which suck. And ya boy, Ian McKellen aka Magneto, spits out about every archvillian cliche’ in the book. I was hoping Kelsey Grammer would fall off the stage while giving a ridiculous speech as the Beast.
The ending is left slightly open and tainted by what appear to be more Hollywood tricks. Plus, the whole all-star cast isn’t particularly well-utilized, as scenes clumsily jump and don’t allow for much insight into anything other than checking out CGI graphics of each mutants’ abilities.
And, oh, the cheesy lines.

I lost the review I was writing twice. I cannot possibly re-write it again, as my soul will explode. So here:





We went into Joe’s since Shino had a wait, and I was flatlining from starvation. The Sox/Yanks game was on, so it seemed like a good idea.
