Xcellent

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2000)

While in the USA this week I went to see X-Men, expecting a not so bad movie. Little did I realise that I was in for a very BIG surprise. X-Men is what I would say one of the best movies so far. Combining 'The Matrix' style SFX and fighting styles. Patrick Stewart really livens the whole story and makes it come to life. He is a superb actor (in for a Knighting I think) and puts the movie right at the top. I hope this movie goes on to smash its way into the US top 100, but for that it would have to earn at least $135 million. Can it make it? I think it can.
If you have not yet seen X-Men I would recommend that you do and fast. I went expecting to see an over the top comic book with some moderate SFX. I was wrong and it turned out to be better that 'The Matrix' and exceeded my expectations.
Go and see! (9/10) Hey no movie is perfect!
