Perfect Summer Blockbuster

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2000)

I must say I thouroughly enjoyed X-Men. I thought the action scenes were well directed courtesy of Bryan Singer (who directs my favorite movie of all time Usual Suspects), and most of the costumes were consistent with the comic. I though that Wolverine was one bad dude, but storm was a little weak with some cheezy lines. some of the humor was funny with the little second grade quarrel between cyclops and wolverine. i also enjoyed the crack that cyclops made about wolverines old costume.
My one true beef with this movie is that it is too short. It seemed as if it was an extended preview. if it were a little more complex and longer, it could be one of my favorites in a long time. i must say, get to this one in the theatres!
