It's not the best movie of all time but alot of fun for a summer movie.

That's all one needs...

Earth to Hollyweird: quit yammering about politics and entertain us, OK?

But the X-Men series of films is tainted too.

It tries to draw allusions between "mutants" and "genetic homosexuality" (specifically the scene in X2 where the kid comes "out" to his parents and says he didn't ask to be like this).

I've seen ads for X3 with the gay actor playing Magneto saying "what makes you think we want to be cured"?

Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants are TERRORISTS.

And for all the talk of "human rights", the trivialized attitudes to such concepts as identity theft (impersonating a politician occurred at the end of X2) and reading minds (invasion of privacy), the series is really a call for a new dominant group of superhumans. The "next" generation with the rest of humanity as a sub-class.

But it is just a movie. And a piece of pop-revolution rubbish.
