X-Men Evolution - Xplosive Days (DVD)

X Men 3 does the job, too!

Advantages: Fast-moving plot and a bunch of new characters
Disadvantages: A bit far-fetched in places

The first 2 X-Men films, cunningly titled 'X-Men' and X-Men 2', met with success, and not without merit. The first film set the scene, a film awaited for so long. The second built on the success and energy of the first and took it to the next level with a deeper plot. The third, here, is entitled 'X-Men: The Last Stand', so you can see what they're gearing up to, here, can't you? And the thrid film, released in 2006, does not disappoint. Historical In 1963, the X Men were created as a comic book idea of men and women possessing quirky mutations due to a defective genetic evolution. It took off, rating as one of the most popular comics, and still goes strong nowadays. Cartoon series have been made, and then in 2000, Bryan Singer directed an all star cast in X-Men. Director and cast returned in 2003 for the sequel, X2. The Plot ...

Review of X-Men - The Last Stand (DVD)

X-Men Marks the Spot

Advantages: Special effects are as brilliant as ever
Disadvantages: It's not as good as the previous 2 "X-Men" films

the previous films and you might want to rectify that before seeing "X-Men 3", or you run the risk of being completely lost throughout it. As with "X-Men" 2, a scientist with a mutant child has found a way to mess with the mutant DNA. This time, however, they are claiming to have found a "cure" to the "illness" that causes mutation and have unveiled this to the world. This news is greeted relatively calmly by Professor Xavier, although Storm isn't happy that they are calling the mutation an illness. Even her reaction is nothing compared to Magneto's. Always suspicious of what humans would like to do to mutants, he feels that this "cure" is another step along the path to controlling and eradicating mutants and thinks it is time for the mutants to band together and fight back. At the same time, there is some evolution within the mutant ...

Review of X-Men - The Last Stand (DVD)

X-Men 2 follows a good start

Advantages: Deep and clever plot, good acting and special effects
Disadvantages: Drags a little in places

When Bryan Singer directed X Men in 2000, he always maintained that it was merely setting the scene for a bigger and better film version of the much loved comic book. In 2003's X Men 2, he shows what he meant as he directs a returning cast on top form and with a meaningful plotline. A Little History X-Men is a comic book creation from Stan Lee and Jack kirby. Conceived in 1963, the comic book still goes strong to this day, and tells adventures of a group of humans who differ due to genetic evolution and are known as 'mutants'. This is the second feature film of the comic book series. The Plot This second installment of the X Men films hits s much deeper note than the first, touching on the effect the mutants and their exposure has on the rest of the world, as well as the fear of the unknown and the unfamiliar. After ...
