Better than I thought it would be

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2000)

I saw this movie this afternoon. While waiting in line, I was surprised at all of the different people waiting along with me. Old, young, guys, and girls. I am not a reader of the comic book, so I went into it kind of blind to the whole X-Men phenomenon, but I don't think that made me enjoy the movie any less. It, to my surprise, was very well-done, with a great caliber of actors and special effects. It wasn't too long at all, if anything, it could have been a little longer. Regardless, I am looking forward to the many sequels I am sure this will have. Heck, I'd pay money just to see that incredible Hugh Jackman beating up the bad guys again and again. 8.5 out of 10.
