Brilliant depiction of good vs evil

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2000)

After the slooooowwwww-motion of MI2 and the stacatto leaps of Gone in 60 Seconds, and the strange colors and images of Pitch Black, X-men is just refreshingly pure, normal, brilliant cinematography with seamless special effects and a superb cast! From start to finish, X-men moves along at a racy pace. Seeing the two classically trained actors, Stewart and McKellan, face off is worth the price of admission in itself. Watchout Hollywood, there's a new villain on the scene... Apart from that, the rest of the cast were good (although with a couple, their mutant gene may have overshadowed their acting...) and delivered strong performances
