Let me start by telling you that I didn't even watch the whole movie. When I turned on the TV to HBO, they were already like, almost halfway thru the movie, but I really liked it. This is a touching movie and I cried in the part wherein Tibby visited her little girl friend who's in the hospital. I thought I was just being too emotional and I'm the only one who cried but when I read some of the reviews, I found out lots of people cried too. That says something . A movie which can move emotions and make people cry is almost always a good movie.

All of the girls played their part really well. And the soundtrack is really good and fits the theme of the movie well.

When I first heard about this movie, I thought it was just some fantasy movie for kids, but I was wrong. Adults would love this film.

In a time wherein a lot of Hollywood movies which has more style than substance are dominating the box-office, this movie provides a unique and relaxing rest from all these kind of movies. Director Guillermo del Torre effectively combined fantasy with a very realistic presentation of what has happened in the world in the past and now, moving the viewers to care and feel for the characters. The music is slow and sad, perfect for the movie. And although there are no impressive special effects like those which are mostly associated with fantasy films, this movie never fails to keep one's eyes focused on the screen, anticipating everything that will happen to the characters.

The real world side of the story moves simply on about the everyday things which happen to the characters but did not even once bore me, while the fantasy side of the story always add a sense of charm to the movie.

This movie is simple yet has a lot of elegance in it.

A beautiful and touching story with a beautiful ending as well, I cried at the end of the film.

I give it a rating of 10/10.

I remember in 1993, X-Men the Animated Series is my obsession and I'm not the only one. For a lot of people in my country, 1993 - 1994 is the X-Men craze era. The said cartoon series was one of the highest-rated TV shows at the time. I was especially obsessed with Rogue. She's beautiful and sexy. She of superior strength and when she fights, she rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet she can't be touched. She's an irresistible temptation to men, especially to Gambit who longs to touch her so much, when she can't be touched.

I was a sappy romantic at heart too so I'm always looking forward to moments between her and Gambit!!! And the people at my school were no different. Different people - different X-Men character favorites and obsessions, collection of X-Men comics and lots of talk about it during breaks, you name it. Even people over 25 watch it. It is little wonder, however, why there was all this fuss about X-Men. The characters' looks and personalities are charismatic and appealing to viewers. They are drawn as sexy and beautiful women and the men as beautiful and sexy as their female counterparts. Each has their own individual history and personalities which viewers simply find lovable and appealing. The plots and stories are exciting and interesting and there's no denying that the MUSIC at the beginning of every episode is REALLY CATCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!! The animated series was simply VERY WELL DONE!!! The fact that this animated series is one of the highest-rated and most-viewed Saturday morning programs in American history to date, that it is very popular in other countries aside from the U.S., and that it boosts sales of X-Men comics--as people who who didn't read x-men comics before this one started reading them as soon as they got obsessed with it--- are proofs that this is definitely one of the best cartoon series in 90s. In my opinion it is the BEST CARTOON SERIES, not just during the 90s but UNTIL NOW!!!!!!

X-Men shows a different idea of heroes. This is unlike Batman and Superman who are loved by ordinary people because they are heroes. X-Men, on the other hand, although fighting for peace and justice, defending their fellow mutants and ordinary men from harm in the process, are hated and feared by those they've sworn to protect. Humankind, that is. Still they continue to protect and defend mankind.

Marvel really did it right with this one and it could NOT be said that Batman and/or Superman animated series is/are superior than this one. X-Men The Animated Series(90s) is undeniably one of the most excellent, most watched and ultra-popular cartoon series up to this day!!!!!!!!

I like the movie. It was informative and the battle scenes were great which prevents the audience from getting bored. It was a good movie. Definitely NOT bad as some people would say. It's just sad that this movie was overlooked. Also, I think Milla Jovovich did a great job of playing the role of St. Joan of Arc. Her acting was amazing. I watched some movies of Milla Jovovich and I could say that of all her movies, it is in this one THAT HER ACTING ABILITIES SHINE! Definitely NOT the kind of acting people label on "models-trying-hard-to-be-actresses". Here, Milla's acting abilities is at par with the acting abilities of some Hollywood female A-listers.

I don't know why other people would say that her acting was bad in the movie. I think it's because some people can't admit that a woman can be beautiful and can act at the same time.
