A great introduction for the superhero genre

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2011)

"X-Men" is a great superhero film with great characters, a simple plot and great fun. Wolverine is clearly the leading character yet the film allows us to enjoy the other cool X-Men characters such as Storm, Cyclops, Charles Xavier etc. The plot is simple, not in a bad way but it's great the story doesn't overshadow the characters, vise versa. The actors were really good and had some depth. ALso it's great there was no blaspheming, sexual scenes which is great. This film paved the way for future superhero franchises: Spier-Man, Batman, Fantastic Four etc. It's interesting to see that having powers is something which the government is trying to control.
