Welcome, X-Men! ♦ 67%

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2013)

With X-Men, the super-hero franchises get a push ahead. The setup is similar: superheroes with somewhat weird powers, villains & their confrontation. Although, X-Men has some kind of peculiarity in it that not only appeals but stands out.
I am not surprised by the plot, but the Singer's skill of introducing characters is amazing. With proper balance of story, character depth, CGI, X-Men marks one of the best-ever introductory installation. For one, the cast line-up is appealing. For another, dialogs and humor are proportionate.
But still, it lacks newness and borrows elements from published superhero movies. I am not accusing it, for any superhero movies will look the same.
BOTTOM LINE: A decade later, if the charm of X-Men, evidently, sways in the atmosphere, it definitely gets a head up, ain't it? Recommended!
