Title: good story but "not a movie"
Review: I bought this at wal-mart yesterday... animated X-Men movie for $15 with a story by Joss Whedon?!? Hells yeah!That's where the good ended... it's not a movie at all it's a motion comic. Basically they scanned the comic panels into a computer & used photoshop to turn, angle & warp the image to give it the appearance of really crappy animation.Then they remove the word bubbles and hire voice actors. The voice acting was not half bad but nobody in their right mind would pay $15 for a movie that is just comic panels flashed on the screen while people read the text. At least when they did it for the Watchman graphic novel it was during the watchmen hype when the movie was out AND they said straight on the package it was a motion comic.... this is just shameless money grubbing and nowhere on the packaging does this say anything about being a motion comic.I made it through the first episode but they couldn't even make the credits smooth... this is going back tomorrow morning.
Is the review positive or negative?
