Im sure someone else has already used this pun but, X-CELLENT!!

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2002)

A crackin good comic book adaptation. The cast was superb, Jackman a sensation, Janssen sexy, Park loadsa fun, Stewart inimitable, and McKellan giving his villain some class.
I know that there were complaints about Rogue being too wimpy, but hopefully this is to highlight how she's going to grow more powerful in the next few films in the franchise. There were also complaints about the budget; me, I hardly noticed. I was just grateful that it wasn't swamped with special effects in the Star Wars: Episode One tradition, where, in certain scenes you might as well be watching Toy Story for all the human action taking place.
I thought that each character was alotted enough time, and that the set pieces were expertly handled. The film was also made easily accessible to fans and newcomers alike, topped off with a great score by Michael Kamen. This, along with Fight Club, is also probably one of the most rewatchable films I have ever seen.
Definitely one of the best comic book to big screen transistions since Mr. Burton's terrific job. Watch it now!
