Not the best thing in the world, but worth watching.

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2000)

X-men is a strange movie to review. It's main problem is the same as it's greatest strength. The best thing is the great characters of Wolverine and Rogue. The worst thing is the characters of... every one else. Patrick Stewart is great as Charles Xavier, and Ian McKellen is great as Magnito, but their characters are not as developed as they should be. The other characters suck. Storm, Cyclops, Toad? Jean Gray is the best secondary character. Some people have complained that the X-MEN have human looking mutants, and the Brotherhood of Mutants are all physically mutated. But if you think about it, the reason the mutants in the Brotherhood hate humans is that humans have rejected them, hate them, and fear them. It is easier to hate someone who looks different. Each character looks great and are very true to the comic book. The only problem I found will the characters looks is that they had to cover up Rebecca Romaine Stamos's gorgeous body with blue paint. Halle Berry's wig is kind of distracting too. Over all, I heavily enjoyed the movie.
