Genre: Action/Science-fiction/Drama
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, Patrick Stewart
A human scientist develops a cure for the mutants. All mutants would become human if they inject themselves with the new medicine. The cure in-turn has been developed by the help of a young mutant boy whose mere presence would make mutants temporarily human. Magneto (McKellen) along with his followers are against this cure and are lobbying to withdraw it. Meanwhile, Jean (Janssen) who is supposedly dead, has been found alive but with a psychic imbalance. She has grown stronger but has lost control over her power and gets manipulated to join Magneto. With Charles Xavier (Stewart) dead and with Jean by his side, Magento wishes to destroy anyone in support of the cure. Wolverine (Jackman) and Storm (Berry) are the only X-Men left and they have to assimilate a new army to fight Magneto. Although the movie still sings the 'saving the world' tune, it has gone a long way in showing something different from what we have been seeing in the previous movies. The mutant powers were explored with more depth which makes the movie all the more interesting. Astounding action sequences only makes this movie more desirable.
Thumbs up: Mutant powers, action
Thumbs down: Still saving the world
Rating: 7.0/10
