Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2000)

You don't even have to be a hard-core X-Men fan to enjoy this action packed, eye-popping sci-fi picture. A cast of virtually unknowns, with the exception of Patrick Stewart, add to the overall luster to the whole film. Patrick Stewart (Prof. Xavier), is excellent in the role that he admittingly never heard of. Famke Janssen (Jean Grey), a former Bond beauty, is perfect in her role as a woman with telekinetic abilities. Relatively new to the seen, Hugh Jackman explodes onto the screen as Wolverine, definitely the best of all X-Men. Ian McKellen is great as the misunderstood Magneto. Sure this movie is full of eye-candy, but there is a very well written story there. The X-Men are a group of mutants that together try to put an end to the war between humans and mutants. Grab the kids, head to the theater, grab a big bucket of popcorn, extra large pepsi, and sit down and enjoy this great sci-fi/action movie.
