Outstanding portrayals of well-known characters.

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2000)

Yes, the movie does deviate a bit from the long-standing history of the X-Men as detailed in Marvel Comics; however, none of the changes were loathsome except, perhaps, to the comics purists. Everyone did a superb job of developing their characters, some with very few actual lines to work with. Wolverine and Rogue probably got the most screen time, and Hugh Jackman and Anna Paquin did wonderful jobs.
