The most compelling Batman yet - no longer the dithering idiot of the sixties but a merciless superhero seeking vengeance.

Highly enjoyable, don't miss it.

They're around us, everywhere - on TV, in the supermarkets, running corporations, marshalling the army, sitting in government and even starring in movies. They have bug eyes, extending limbs, weird hairdos, webbed feet, several heads and they come in many different varieties, it's just you don't remember much about them 'coz of those snappily dressed Men In Black with their super-dooper weaponry like memory erasers.

There's hardly anything I would improve about this film. The visuals, concepts, soundtrack, characters, pace, humour and animation are all some of the best I've ever seen in any film; I was worried the hype would ruin it for me, as it always does, but not even the group of kids in the theatre who wouldn't stop loudly talking could ruin it for me.

At first Peter uses these gifts for his own benefit but after tragedy strikes he resolves himself to fighting evil (in particular the rather wasted talents of Dafoe as the Green Goblin) and defending the good people find out more...

Taken from the Marvel comic characters this huge budgeted live action extravaganza focuses on the formulation of the X-Men; a group of young earth mutants with extraordinary powers who are moulded into a force for good by professor Xavier and their first life and death battle, to protect a world that fears them, against a psychotic fellow mutant, Magneto.
