This
is a movie with lots of excitement. The part about Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) looking
for his roots, and finding everything abandoned and destroyed at Lake Alkali was sort of not congruent with the action and was a bit lost. But he
comes back just in time to protect the children at the school from a
governmental incursion by our evil enemy, William Stryker (Brian Cox) (who wants all mutants dead)
and is actually the creator of Wolverine. This movie makes good use of
Magneto (Ian McKellan) and his side kick shape shifter Mystique (Rebecca Romijn). Mystique helps Magneto escape by giving one of his guards an injection of iron; which Magneto uses to make bullets and a metal platform on which he can float. It also tells us more about the powers
of Dr. Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and his machine Cerebro. However, in the wrong hands,
and with the wrong manipulation this machine can become one of great
power, capable of killing. The school is attacked by Stryker's government men, and most of the students escape, but six are taken hostage. Cyclops (James Marsden) is taken captive with Dr. Xavier. Stryker has a drug with which he uses to manipulate people. He used it on Magneto to get information about the school and Cerebro. He also uses this on Cyclops to make him an enemy to the X-men. This movie is about team work, and some
members sacrificing and protecting others. Wolverine ends up leading the escapees with Storm (Halle Berry) and Jean (Famke Janssen). They not only have to keep the children safe, but also rescue Cyclops and Dr. Xavier. This takes teaming up with Magneto and Mystique.
