It can't hold up to today's hero standards at all

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2020)

X-Men is the perfect example to showcase the gaping flaw in my reviews: older movies have a lower chance to be good, on average. Regardless about how much they progressed the industry or how new the concept was at the time, some older films have been severely outclassed by newer. X-Men was probably great in 2000. Superhero movies weren't dominating the screen, and some of the effects probably looked great. However, now that big budget hero flicks are the mainstay, X-Men looks like silly childs play. It doesn't hold up to today's standards, and whoever tells you it does is fanboying a bit too hard.
