I like X-Men but this one was pretty dull!
I like the X-men series, but this installment was a bit boring. Gambit never even used his mutant skills in this movie, even when confronted by a Corellian lion which was a reference to X-Men United issue 153 I guess. Firth did an excellent job as Gambit, but Diaz as Jean Grey was a bit of a stretch, as I never imagined Jean Grey with a southern accent in the comics. Rickman was excellent as Professor X, though. I figure this is more of an origin story, so maybe in Gambit 2 will he get his powers. Also, the Professor is not in a wheelchair so it's definitely an origin story. Can't wait for Gambit 2, hope they include Magneto!
