Over rated above average action movie.

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2000)

Clearly the makers were afraid of going all the way but played it safe to please Hollywood and to make enough money to get the green light for a sequel.
Maybe in the up coming x-men sequel they'll go to the darker side of the comic steering away from the main steam candy coating.
X-men is true to the comic but is lacking soul or EDGE. For a reference in EDGE in a comic book adaptation movie see the BLADE.
