This awesome action-packed movie goes beyond the "young men with superpowers" storyline; it also injects poignancy and thought-provoking themes into the script. Andrew, one of the main characters, evokes both sympathy and horror, as the plot unfolds; while his cousin Matt, tries to do some pretty serious damage control (to put it mildly). The movie builds up to a climax that literally flies to Tibet, in the Himalayan Mountains!

A tale of two cousins with very different reactions to power, and the challenges of life. The raw, documentary-like realism to the depiction of "X-Men" type of superhuman powers is particularly good. Cars exploding, people flying....highly recommended movie for 2012.

For fans of Star Wars, Kung Fu Hustle (Stephen Chow), Swordsman (Tsui Hark) and other iconic movies of the East and West, this martial arts comedy with a refreshingly original (and hilarious one-liners) script will have you splitting your sides.

Fans of Hong Kong's veteran funnyman Eric Tsang, Singapore's multi-talented and versatile actor Mark Lee and Taiwan's Jacky Wu, will love the cameo appearances made by these super comics. Also, did I mention the clever use of CGI to boost the visual impact of 'kung fu' moves during the show?

A must-watch for aficionados of the comedy-kung fu genre.

Of the original trilogy, the first X-Men movie still rates the best.....until now.

This prequel is an absolute stunner - from storyboard, script, mutant characters, pace, cinematography, Foley FX, VFX....you get the picture. In fact, the subtitle for this movie could also be X-Men: Origins. The poignant beginnings of Magneto and Mystique are recounted, as well as the extraordinary powers of Professor X. Yes, indeed! The good professor had plenty of goodies (and hair) in his formative years at Oxford University.....^^

I cannot wait to see X-Men prequel II and III, 3D or not.
