PRYDE OF THE X-MEN

PRYDE OF THE X-MEN-This short film based on the story appearing in the pages of Ultimate X-Men #21 was originally done as a class project. In the film Professor X invites Mrs.Pryde (Kitty's Mother) to Xavier's School For The Gifted hoping to convince Her to allow Kitty to attend His School. Pryde's mother is less than receptive, concerned about the School's history of violent incident's. Professor X (played by Zane Lambel) tries to reassure Her that His School's unique brand of learning is meant to be a means of self defense in a violent world. Since the film is so short I don't want to give away too much more info, so let's get down to the nitty gritty...This Fan Film IS based on characters from The Ultimate X-Men comic book series but don't expect any Mutants jumping around in snazzy costumes, the film is a sit down conversation between Mrs. Pryde and Charles Xavier and nothing more. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it would have been nice to at least see Professor X. In the film only X's arm is visible during His meeting with Mrs.Pryde. Be that as it may the actor portraying Xavier has a nice calm and reassuring tone and does a good job as ol' chrome dome. Sylvia Rea plays Mrs. Pryde, and although she's a little young to be playing Kitty's Mother Her acting is on point so bugger the whole age thing. Even though I would have enjoyed this short that much more with the appearance of at least one of the X-Men lineup, I do think it was well acted and and it definitely gets points for concept originality.
