It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

X-Men: Evolution may not hold a candle to the 90s series, but on its own merits it is decent. I can see why people dislike it as even on its own terms it does have glaring flaws, but I do think it should be judged on its own rather than being compared all the time. Okay, Season 1 wasn't brilliant, there was a lot of cheesy dialogue, slow and melodramatic story lines, not enough Wolverine, a great character, and too much of Spike, one like Kitty that annoys me to no end, plus Rogue seems bland to me in this series. However, Season 2 was much stronger, the pacing is much crisper, the action scenes are exciting, the writing was a little more intelligent if occasionally still with the odd cheesy one-liner and the stories were much more compelling. The animation is smooth and has some good atmosphere, while the sound effects really add to the adrenaline-rush feel of the action sequences and the music from the catchy intro to the haunting background music is very fitting. There are some good characters too, Xavier is quite likable to me, Wolverine and Gambit are great characters that could have been used more and Magneto is a very threatening presence. The voice acting is on the whole good. The crowning jewel for me was the finale, which was an epic knockout. Overall, shaky start, great end. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This is, hands down, one of the best cartoon shows I've ever watched. It's very unique, and it deals with real problems and the relationships between different people. It isn't like those other cartoon shows where all they do is smile, talk some nonsense, fight, run, and the background never changes. Granted the characters don't seem to have access to a big wardrobe but that just gives each character a sense of identity and uniqueness. You can also relate to at least one of the characters in the show which makes it more appealing and fun to watch. I like this show better than the original one simply because its a show about kids, for kids; I thought that the original was a bit too serious to be a kids show. Plus, this series has better animation.

All of the X-men are ruined in this debacle of a show firstly by having them LIVE AT A SCHOOL THAT THEY DON'T GO TO! Secondly Wolverine and Storm are more of side characters in lame story lines like Spyke (who is a HUGE oreo) being framed for robbing lockers. They don't even face discrimination in this show like in the old one.Nor do they actually fight the bad guys until maybe the second season. Their biggest problem was Mystique being their principal! Oh right like Mystique would get that close to the X-men on a daily basis and not kill them. More importantly Why didn't Prof. X expose her? Even more yet why is this show so Lame assed? 2 out of 10 (nice costumes though)

First of all, not to be juvenile, but I just wanna' lash back real quick at all those who say this show's stupid (or lame, "a disgrace to the original," pick one.) I've been waiting for this moment... *You* try adapting a mythology like the X-Men and making it fresh, new and relevant to today's youth! Hey, I'm 20 and I love it! I have friends my age who do, too so it's *far* from a "kid's show."Now, onto my *real* point:This series had the courage to take on a number of issues, metaphorically, and helped (in some small way) to highlight problems common to youth and suggest solutions.It was *so* much more than a simple animated series--It said it's okay to be different, be accepted for who you are, things will even out... It spoke of there still *being* heroes in this world, even when things look their worst. It spoke of finding, *using* the power within yourself to be the force of change in this world and make it a better place for *all* to coexist. It has a higher degree of emotional resonance -- on a number of levels!-- than most are willing to give it credit for. Most decry it as immature, watered-down or juvenile if only because it's an animated series. The common feeling is that animated series are for children. As stated above--*NOT*!I may have to comment again when I can come up with a more coherent response, but in closing, I feel the *original* animated series was a disgrace to *this* one! The original, from what I've seen, had its merits, but it pales in comparison to "Evolution." The art in the original was mediocre at best, and often less than that, while here it is sharp and crisp, and the coloring is masterful. The original "X-Men" animated series often read like nothing more than an "action-soap opera." The plot lines were convoluted, the action sequences overblown and superfluous. Here, the plots are clear and the action pared down to only the necessary battles. More effective all around, I'd say.In conclusion, give me an hour of XME over four of XMTAS any day of the week. Period.Regards, and Make Mine Marvel! Logan'sSheWolf
