I watched Mr X in the 3 D version, hoping for some diversion. But there was none. Just relentless awfulness in plot and execution and performance.

Mr. X is a tremendously unimaginative film about a wronged ATT Cop who uses his accidentally acquired invisibility to

Mr X gifts him a cool title, a great power but not the responsibility that comes with it.And to go on an avenging spree over the same, how lame is that?At a time when even television is doling out superheroes worth binging on…

But the central flaw with the film is Mr. X himself who never piques our interest and is as hollow inside as he is on the outside. Steer clear.

...an inept, incompetent and insipid sci-fi film with an IQ level that is smaller than the size of Emraan Hashmi's shoes. Skipping it is not an option, it is a compulsion.

They were optimistic enough to leave the film open for a possible sequel. That one-star rating then is for courage alone.

Mr. X has been promoted as a science fiction and action film. Be assured, there is no science, no fiction, as for the action, you can give it a miss too.

If you are an Emraan Hashmi fan, then this is for you. If not, go to COURT! Pun intended!

Mr X is badly written, and we don't want to talk about acting. Emraan Hashmi appears bored, but Amyra Dastur looks improved in emotional scenes. But it is not enough to save the film. Mr X is a complete waste of time.

Revisit Hollow Man instead and leave Mr X to debut on your TV on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Between Amayra Dastur’s shrill voice and Arunoday Singh’s scowling, there’s little to be enjoyed

This film is far away from a 'labour of love' and is not worth your time. We are going for two stars for this one and would suggest that you should avoided it provided you are a big Emraan Hashmi fan.

Mr X can take you back to your Mr India days, but only for the similarity between their film titles—if only criminals could be killed by going invisible! Book your tickets for Emraan Hashmi ala 3D style!

There is good news. And bad news. Good news: the film ended. Phew!! Bad news: it ended with a possibility of a sequel. Yes Mr X might strike back. And then back again. And then it will be called Mr. XXX!

Mr X is indeed a love story, too, but it is highly unlikely that anybody will fall in love it. Mr X is a puerile thriller and a risible revenge saga with a dash of random sci-fi thrown into the pot.

Emraan Hashmi is a young man who can turn invisible at will. Just think of all the cheeky possibilities that premise could throw up.

After lip-locking (almost) every pretty face on-screen, Emraan Hashmi returns to the big screen to seal the deal with yet another kiss, but this time, under wat

An extremely cliched script of Mr. X spoils all the fun and at a point you feel thats what is invisible in the film, its story. The effects are good but not exceptional for 3D.

The scenes where Mr X is sparsely visible, are the ones in which its poor quality is noticeable. The 3D effect does help its visual appeal.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
