Boring, long, and too preachy.
... View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
... View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreX-Men: Evolution was the first real exposure that I had to the X-Men universe. The original animated series was way back when I was just a toddler, so I am not too familiar with it. Thus, I had a lot to thank to the Evolution series because it made me feel fascinated with the X-Men and eventually Marvel universe.The concept of making the characters teenage high schoolers was a bit appalling, especially to the comic fans, but I guess it was intended to appeal to younger generations. In my opinion, making them teenagers aren't too bad at all. It allowed more character growth to happen for most characters whilst dealing with the anti-mutant issues, even for the notorious Brotherhood members like Avalanche and Quicksilver.The story was a bit slow at first. Of course, it had intentions of introducing the characters that would later make up the X-Men team and the Brotherhood. It was good that it did this so that newcomers to the X-Men world would not feel lost when watching it. As the first season finale ended, I felt a bit empty, wanting more. But it satisfied my X-Men thirst, with enough action and character developments that made me wait for Season 2. As the series progressed, it did get better and more structured. More loved-by-fans characters were introduced such as Gambit and Colossus and added great dynamics to the conflicts and relationships (eg. the questionable bond between Rogue and Remy in the show).The characters in the series are definitely fleshed out. They had opportunities to experience emotional and personal growth that changed them from the first time we met them in the series. In return, viewers will have certain opinions on most of them, be it love, hate or neutral.The animation in X-Men: Evolution is of course much better and smoother than the X-Men: TAS (which is not to say the original animated series is bad or anything). The actions scenes excited me a lot, the showcase of the mutants' powers are made more subtle but still believable and the expressions on the characters are drawn well, making us believe in their emotions. Kudos to Steve Gordon for coming up with great character designs as well.All in all, X-Men: Evolution is definitely a good series to try if you're an X-Men fan. The stories does not quite follow to the comics, but that's what makes it good, as it tries to tell the stories of the X-Men universe in a more relatable way, especially to the younger generations.
... View MoreX-Men as kids...a good idea I'd say. I'm really quite fond of the show, it comes every weekday and, though I'm a teenager, I usually watch it. To be fairly truthful, I do like shows about people with superpowers. Which is one reason I like the snow. I hear there are people complaining of the characters not being involved in enough of the original story arcs, maybe the reason I like it is because I don't know of any of these story lines (save maybe the whole Dark Phoenix thing) but I really don't think an adaptation of a comic book should be down put by some die-hard fans who can't stand the idea of every single detail from the original comic not being in every adaptation.
... View MoreThis is, hands down, one of the best cartoon shows I've ever watched. It's very unique, and it deals with real problems and the relationships between different people. It isn't like those other cartoon shows where all they do is smile, talk some nonsense, fight, run, and the background never changes. Granted the characters don't seem to have access to a big wardrobe but that just gives each character a sense of identity and uniqueness. You can also relate to at least one of the characters in the show which makes it more appealing and fun to watch. I like this show better than the original one simply because its a show about kids, for kids; I thought that the original was a bit too serious to be a kids show. Plus, this series has better animation.
... View MoreXmen: Evolution rocks & definitely deserves more than a 6/10 ! its deserves a 20 ! Its an awesome show, trust me. & from someone like me who used to not like 'comic stuff' , i think this rocks :D The show's just full of everything the audience wants to watch ! I even heard from somewhere that they're wondering whether or not to make a 5th season, which is totally unacceptable. There should be no doubts ! The show is GREAT, even adults are watching it, its no longer a kid/teen thing alone ! Albeit there are DVDs sold, sadly in Singapore, there not, and i find that absolutely annoying because there are crazy fans here, one like me ! And besides watching it on cartoon network, we'll never get to watch our favourite episodes again. And i have no idea why am i writing this, but seriously, there should be no reason for Xmen: Evolution to stop or for people to rate it 6/10. However, its is your opinion though my opinion is that you are dumb.
