A Great Movie of the Summer!

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2000)

X-Men was one of the best movies of the summer, I have seen so far. Yes, the special effects were great, but that's not all. The dialogue was sharp and witty, especially from the ready-to-fight Wolverine. You also feel sorry for one of the lead bad guys, Magneto, who has been different from society all of his life: because he was survivor of the Holocaust and is hated for being a mutant. You see why he hates the human race so bad. The relationship between Rogue and Wolverine is believable because they are both very different from the other mutants, they share some type of best friend always bond. This is a great directing job by Bryan Singer, director of Apt Pupil, which did nothing for me. I hope there is a sequel in the making, and if it is I cannot wait to see it!
