The X Factor

This morning the official X-Men site was inundated with fans attempting to download the first full trailer from the movie. First impressions are that the movie plays true to the original storyline, pitting Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen) against each other with a backdrop of human movement against the mutants. While the action scenes and sets look impressive, the greatest source of discontent was the hair department - in particular Halle Berry's dodgy white-blonde syrup. But bad barnets aside, the reaction to the trailer here in the Empire office was barn-stormingly positive. To see the X-Men Trailer click here.
