 X-Men: The Last Stand (Frank's Take)
01/09/2006. Sadly, X didn't mark the spot convincingly this time around for director Brett Ratner's third instalment involving our beloved mutant misfits, finds Frank. In X-Men: The Last Stand, Ratner fills up on the eye-popping action pieces and lets everything colourfully go BANG and BOOM with each overindulgent explosion.
X-Men: The Last Stand (Mark's Take)
01/07/2006. In this film Mark discovers that The X-Men face off against the Brotherhood of Mutants in a fracas over a government-sponsored cure for mutant-ness. Are mutants going to savour their special unique natures or are they going to try to be like the "normal" population. It could be an intriguing idea, but the film does not develop the issue in any detail. And this third instalment in the series does not stand well on its own as a film. Viewers who, like me, have only passing knowledge of the X-Men will find that they may be at rather a disadvantage.
X-Men The Movie
01/08/2000. One of my most cherished possessions to this day remains the NM (Near Mint) copy of X-Men #4, for which I overpaid about a decade ago (according to my dad), but which today, makes me look like a friggin' financial genius! I love comic books.
X2: Frank's Thoughts
01/06/2003. Is everybody ready for a second helping of a particular mutant recipe known as the X-Men? Apparently so since the first taste of this action-packed delicacy mustered up an incredible $157 million at the U.S. box office.
X2: Mark's Thoughts
01/06/2003. This second film based on the X-Men comic book is a better story and a more atmospheric production. I am told it is a better adaptation of the comic book. One does not come to this sort of film for a deep statement of the human condition, but for a summer action film, it is not too bad.
 XXX: State of the Union: Frank's Take
01/06/2005. In Rob Cohen's numbing hit 2002 action-packed spy thriller xXx, muscle-bound misfit Vin Diesel played an extreme sports athlete turned risk-taking secret agent named Xander Cage. Naturally Diesel's trademark monosyllabic persona and the excitable recklessness of that movie's aimless mayhem helped turn this visually boisterous actioner into a hyperactive sensation.
