Not bad, not great

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2000)

One thing that impressed me about this movie is that it explained the history of the X-Men without slowing down the movie. Visually, it's wonderful, with some tremendous special effects from the get go. And there's some great dialogue, too (especially Wolverine's comment to Cyclops when asked to prove he was Wolverine). But the storyline was a bit lacking in intrigue, and that kind of ruined the experience for me.
