X-Men delivers!

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2000)

Being a fan of comic books, I wasn't sure whether or not I would like a movie based on the best-selling comic of all time. X-Men also received a lot of hype, causing movie-goers to expect a movie to be better than it actually is. However, X-Men was a very good film. Not only is the movie teeming with eye-popping visual effects, but it also has intelligence, emotion, and humor. Most of the characters are portrayed with great attention to the conflicts between them (Professor X vs. Magneto; Wolverine vs. Cyclops). The only things that stop me from giving X-Men a rating of 10 are that Wolverine's past could have been revealed in more detail and that Storm has very little personality (let's work on her more in the sequel). Overall, a very good movie. X-Men delivers! 9/10
