Paved the way for these kind of movies.

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2010)

I think I watched this in the theater. I thought "oh no, I'm not into comic book heroes movies". The 90's was a great example of how comic book heroes sucked on the big screen.
"X-Men" is by far, in the top 10 of super hero flicks meant for a specific audience. It is spectacular because of it's great f/x but also because of the special comic book vibe. I truly bought it. The characters are great and should please fans.
The characterization is perfect. The social message works perfect and adds this special vibe of heroism. They have faith, principles, and special powers. Now, that's what I expected in a super hero flick! The Direction is solid, dynamic. Spectacular demonstration of how big budgets work whenever it's done with a heart.
