This from a new fan...

I've never read a single X-Men book/comic or watched a single X-Men cartoon. I thought I'd take a shot at watching this much-publicized movie and was pleasantly surprised. I never understood my friends' obsession with X-Men before but I'm now inclined to start finding out more. The only problem I had with the movie was that it was too short.
Bryan Singer was right not to introduce too many characters at once since it obviously worked for newbies such as myself. If you know nothing about X-Men, don't worry, you'll enjoy the movie all the same.
