A solid first outing

Rating: 3/10 (17 March 2017)

The X Men franchise has been spun off into lots of various directions since the series began on film way back in 2000, but this is the film that started it all.
And it must have done pretty well to be the one that started it all. Most of the success is down to the casting, not least Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
There are some slow moments along the way in this film, it's not all perfect, but there are enough big set pieces and examples of snappy dialogue to grab the audiences attention for as long as the director demands it.
