Stylish, exciting and at times even poignant, this adaptation of the beloved Marvel Comics series about misunderstood mutants is more than just sci-fi spectacle; it also contains a thoughtful subtext and flashes of real wit. Though the setup is complicated, director Bryan Singer stages it efficiently; viewers unfamiliar with the comic shouldn't have any trouble following along. With Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. An exciting, even poignant sci-fi spectacle that won't leave non-fans of the long-running Marvel Comics series in the dark. The setup is complicated, but it's efficiently staged: In the not-too-distant future, mutant humans with extraordinary powers are numerous and unpopular. When a fear-mongering senator (Bruce Davison) advocates their persecution, a powerful mutant leader (Ian McKellen) goes on the attack. A kinder, gentler mutant (Patrick Stewart) and his team of X-Men (including Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and James Marsden) vow to stop him. Read the complete review for X-Men

    OK, so my twin 5-year-olds these days are mad for Super Hero Squad action figures — these 2- 3-inch tall, shiny-happy versions of Wolverine, Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther and, as more and more roll out/beckon Dad's wallet, seemingly every good or bad guy to ever inhabit the Marvel universe. Well, Marvel Entertainment is now developing a 26-episode animated series situating the same extra-cartoony characters in "Super Hero City" and throwing them into "humorous adventures" with Doctor Doom, Magneto, Loki and others.According to the Reporter, the half-hour Marvel Super Hero Squad series is targeted for a 2009 premiere on a network TBD. — MWM read more
