A great comic movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 July 2000)

Everyone seems to think this is the first great comic-book based movie. However, a few others come to my mind: Blade was highly entertaining, MIB was great.
I loved this movie, despite its obvious flaws. It focused on my two least favorite X-characters, Rogue and Wolverine, and we didn't get to see Magneto really hurt Wolvie, unfortunately... but I still enjoyed it. Those who said James Marsden's Cyclops was 'wooden' seem to think that's a bad thing -- Cyclops, while one of my favorite X-men, has ALWAYS been very stiff, at least in my mind... Overall, the only character who I felt was portrayed badly was Storm, who should've been more imposing, IMHO.

Did Professor X say these were his original students? I thought he said they were 'some of the first,' meaning that it's possible that Storm wasn't with the rest of the group... Of course, that doesn't explain away the fact that Bobby's way too young...
Overall, I loved this movie (It's the best I've seen this summer, for sure), and will anxiously await a sequel, esp. if Nightcrawler or the Beast show up.
