What i like about the Xmen movies, besides being a spectacular visual feast, is the fact that they purposely parallel the plight of all social outcasts, as they struggle to win acceptance in a world where they don't "fit in."
Notice the conflicting reactions to the "cure" of the mutant gene (the activists, the anti-activists and those that pretty much want things to remain status quo), as well as the arguments between mutants who can "pass" and those who can't.
These comic books were perhaps more empowering for most social outcasts than any "how to be normal" instruction manual....
Without further ado, here it is, the 7min trailer of the best comic-to-big-screen movie:
PS: totally admiring Angel (the dude with the wings). i wanna fly away from here too.
