When I had finished my thumbnail sketch of the story he asked; "So it's kind of like X-Men right?" Of course I told him that it was nothing like X-Men, and if the movie stayed true to the source material, he'd soon see what I meant.

Early this morning he was on my doorstep, and with wide eyes, the first words out of his mouth were an excited; "It's NOTHING like X-Men." From his description at least, the filmmakers really made a stab at trying to be true to the book, and he and his friends (about 10 young people) truly enjoyed it.
