Enjoyable.

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2000)

Overal a statisfying movie. They did a good job.
Good points:
Very real to life in making the characters exactly like their comic book counterparts. Wolverine was done so well that he stole the show and it was good that this movie focused on him. Fantastic looking and perfect casting for the characters Magneto, Xavier, Logan, Storm, Sabertooth and Cyclops. When Xavier (P Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellan - God and Monsters) get together it is pure magic. Well done fight scenes that make the superheros show off their 'talents' excellently.
Bad points:
Xavier and Magneto feed off each other so brilliantly and I only wish the movie had more of them together on the screen. There could have been a little more on the human fear factor how everyone was scared of all the mutant business, at least they covered it in the movie. I did not like Ana Paquins acting ability as Rogue. She started off well but seemed to go downhill as the film progressed.
Overall the good more than outweighs the bad probably cause I was so taken with Logan (after all he is my fav X men character). Is it true that apparantly 45 minutes of this film went on the CHOPPING BLOC! I wonder what those scenes would have been like to the movie?? Maybe it could of had more dialogue and story explanation.. Me thinks though that they totaly went for the simple adventure-action-effects film. Although that succeded I wonder what the other 45 minutes would have done.
