Excellent! Really lives up to what is to be expected!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2000)

X-men was a rather excellent movie. It was all that I expected it to be and I was rather pleased. Some may say that the character development was low, and I must agree. But, they pulled it off. I believe a person going to the movie who doesn't know the first thing about X-men will come out with a rather good understanding.
First of all, I would like to say, that the choosing of Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier was about the best thing they could do. He fits the criteria for the Prof. to a "t".
At first i had my doubts about the abilities of the other unknown characters, but after seeing the movie I realized that actors/actresses have to have a start somewhere. Well, I must say, these people started out with a bang.
Hugh Jackman was simply awesome. His portrayal of Wolverine was beyond comparison. But, I must add, my comments may be one-sided due to the fact that Wolverine is my favorite of the X-Men.
I am a diehard Star Wars fan, but I had to rate this as a 10 because it is simply and excellent movie. If you haven't seen it yet, then I say make this your next movie. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you for your time...
