Great adaptation

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2000)

The flat best adaptation of a comic to the big screen ever. While I expected great action and good fights, I was very pleased to see they kept the big issues (mutants as metaphors for any oppressed minority, laws driven by fear rather than justice, etc.) and the character conflicts (not everybody gets along) from the comics. If you want a summer movie with great action *and* a plot, then see X-Men.
