Awesome, but still had its flaws.

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2002)

I thought this was all in all a good movie, I managed to get to see the premier when it came out. I now own and have watched it many of times.
The Good: Hugh Jackmen as Woleverine, good job in choosing a nobody, Patrick Stwert as Xavier,and also Sir Ian and Magneto, the special effects were great and the fact that if you know the comics, they show alot of characters from the comics as kind of cameos and/or minor parts.
The Bad: Using Rogue as the Jubilee story,James Marsden as Cyclops, they needed to get someone older,no Beast, he is one of the original X-men, he's also the smartest second to Xavier, also no Gambit, a fan favorite.Also there weren't enough action scenes, this made the films pace a little slow.
All in all this film deserves an 8 of 10, its well executed but has some flaws that could easily, in some ways be fixed.
