4.0 out of 5 stars good for a x-men newbie, bad for a hardcore x-fan, July 11, 2000

This review is from: X-Men: Beginnings (Paperback)

it offered a brief stint into the past lives of rogue, wolverine, and magneto. Being an x-fan, i can tell you that most of this book is very innacurate. Either the writer didnt do much research, or he meant it to be much unlike the comic book series. I do believe that this book is meant to be a "prequel" for the upcoming movie. But if that is so, the movie will be very innacurate also. For instanct, wolverine and storm joined the x-men at the same time, when in this book, it suggests that storm preceded wolverine in her membership. There are many other innacuracies. But to be positive, all 3 stories are very well written and have excellent plots. the art is good too. If you can look past the inaccuracy of it, you will like this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's not a 'book'., October 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: X-Men: Beginnings (Paperback)

I'm an X-Men fan, and I have been for many years. With slight trepidation and nervousness I went and saw the movie...I LOVED IT!! Stupid me, in my haste to read a written novelization of the movie, I ordered this 'book' with mighty expectations. I expected a written adaptation of the movie...sort of like what Terry Brooks did for SWI: The Phantom Menace.

Nope, this is not a book revealing the innermost thoughts of the characters...It's a glossy comic book...and the art wasn't even that great.

While I love comics, this thing fell flat as far as I'm concerned...I gave it away to a friend...who later threw it into the donation dumpster at Goodwill.

This book was so great. I won't explain why it was so good because I don't want to ruin the book for anybody! Read it if you want to get prepared for the X-Men Movie or if you're an X-Fan!
