Review: It’s official. Forget the calendar. The summer blockbuster season is in full swing. With the arrival of the Marvel Comics mutant/super heroes, the games have officially begun. Director Brett Ratner pulls out all the stops as your old favorite mutants, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Storm (Halle Berry), Magneto (Ian McKellen), Phoenix (Famke Janssen) meet some new allies, such as Angel (Ben Foster) and some new enemies, like the giant Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones).

And what’s causing all of the action in this episode? A cure for the mutant condition that defines the X-Men (and women) has been discovered and the prevailing powers want to vaccinate the “afflicted.” Not seeing themselves as ill, the mutants resist being rendered powerless. A struggle ensues, and the rift between Dr. Xavier and Magneto grows larger with each having their own mutant soldiers. The battles are delightfully choreographed fantasy. Relax, buy a large, buttered popcorn and visit Comic Book Land!
