Reviving a struggling genre?

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2000)

I went into this movie with high expectations. I've been an X-fan for years, and like many others, I was going to pick apart the movie. However, I also knew that comic books movies, especially Marvel comic book movies, suck most of the time.
I'm happy to say that every expectation I had was met. This movie was great, from the writing to the directing to the characers to the acting to the dialogue to the cast to the music. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but it was damn near close. A perfect way to start out of new wing of the already blooming X-franschise.
