Essentially Brokeback Mountain with Superpowers...
Strengths
1) The use of actual historical events was well orchestrated... For example the cast was pulled inside to see the President address the nation and they used actual footage of Kennedy addressing the nation about the Cuban Missile Crisis.2) The relationship between Charles and Erik was further developed... interestingly enough beyond a bro-mance they managed to turn the relationship almost into something more...
3) The graphics were exceedingly better than that of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" which looked so cheesy that it looked almost D-List... This one followed through with graphics similar to that of the original trilogy.
4) Cameo Appearances.
Weaknesses
1) Some of the superheroes were rather lackluster, Angel in particular...she is a pixie who literally spits fire balls like chewing gum, maybe that is a flob of Stan Lee's but she was rather pathetic foe...2) Very predictable, but most viewers enjoy X-Men just to see the superpowers
3) Again I am not sure as to whose bad concept this was, Lee's or the Director's, but there was a few racist plot points thrown into the mix... I don't wanna give too much away...but it involves Darwin.... tell me what you think if you have seen it
4) Inaccurate in terms of Comic Book Series to Big Screen
Favorite Superpower
Magneto's Power Over Metal... Very Cool!
i agree with alot of your points and mainly just hate that they didnt stick to how the comics were at all but its a movie there gonna change it i get it but atleast it was the best x-men movie by far... also angel was not a creation of stan lee it was grant morrison and ethan van sciver she is a fairly new she first appeared in New X-men #118 which came out in 2001 she also goes by tempest i had hoped to see alot more of the original x-men in the film instead of all the newer people i mean darwin which i love was made in 2006 and azazel wasnt made till 2003 i think actually having the first class would of made this movie alot better but i guess those characters were all in the other x-men movies so they wanted new heros to try to draw more of a crowd at the box office
