I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out. Not much depth in the acting but it’s one of my favorite films for just the fun of it.

The story, the history and the heart breaking things that happened to the people who were tortured, died, and so few who escaped was both devastating and inspiring. The film, as a dramatization, was truly awful. The film made it look as if the prisoners had free rein of the camp which is, most certainly, historically inaccurate. It, in my opinion, takes away from what must have been a true act of heroism. Very disappointing.

The best of the X-Men genre. The story has a very real feel of a legendary character giving his all in what must be his last breathe. Daphne Keen is a very mature actress in spite of her age and delivers a performance worthy of praise. I have to admit that not seeing Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart in their defining roles in the X-Men universe again is an incredible letdown but all good things must come to an end.
