Splendid comic adaption!

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2000)

I really was positively surprised about the much talked about X-Men movie.
The characters have been brought on screen in a wonderful way - especially Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Halle Berry as Storm were fantastic in roles as super-heroes. The whole atmosphere is very dark and gritty, which fits the movie very well in its attempt to show a society scared of mutants.

The way in which many small tidbits from the comic books were thrown into the movie was really a joy to see - characters like Kitty Pryde and Iceman or Rogues famous white hair as well as Cyclops remark about yellow latex costumes were just perfect to make this movie a real experience...
