Finally... The Summer of 2000's ass has officially been KICKED!

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2000)

X-Men is truly what happens when you combine the genius of a creative team which cares for the history behind a legacy, yet had the creativity and insight to bring this to the 'real world' and the big screen.
Bryan Singer, Tom DeSanto and everyone else on the X-Team delivered. Big time. Against all odds (rushed release date, limited budget, hordes of nay-sayers), they delivered a film which will not only appease fans of the comic, but the general public as well.
The theme, this is the real world-and this is 'tomorrow' (sometime in the near future). This takes place in the real world (not a Gotham City, fictional locale), and deals with real issues. Bryan Singer's move to take this movie, its characters and the viewing public "seriously" is what makes this movie stellar. This isn't watered down, silly and insulting like other comic book to movie translations as of late.
Go and see it. Go and see it twice (at least). For the comic book fans that complain about how their beloved characters have been altered (age or costume)-wake up. The premise of this movie was to make it real. A story, drama even, with action it it. For those not familiar with the X-Men history, nor do not like "comic book" movies--definitely go and see it. Its NOT 'just a comic book' movie. I don't collect comics. I just loved seeing this movie, a number of times. Its entertaining, and then some.
I hope we the powers that be decide on doing a sequel.. yes, its that good.
