Review of X-Men

X-Men (2000)
7/10
Embrace The Evolution...
24 July 2000
Let me begin by saying that this movie is almost worth seeing just for Hugh Jackman's performance of Wolverine...he did an excellent job (well, I'm not a reader of comic books anymore, but I've seen the animated series..) - or at least, he did an entertaining job...

Patrick Stewart did a great job also - as did every cast member basically...

The story has some good action, a pretty interesting plot, great humor, and also compelling love-interest (I won't say between whom); making for a well-balanced movie...

The characters seemed real - as did the movie overall - despite this however, I can only give the movie a 'better-than-average not excellent' rating - I guess because it's hard to take a movie based on a comic book VERY seriously...

Still, I think there's little they could have done to make this movie better...(except maybe make it longer)...

'X-Men' is definately worth seeing - it presents itself in a very realistic manner with the right touch of seriousness and humor to make for probably one of the better movies of this year...(yup, the movie has a great message)...

[7/10]
