X-Men = Revival of Comic Book Movies

Rating: 9/10 (26 April 2006)

Simply put this movie was amazing. The director of Usual Suspects continued to show his talent with this movie. Every actor that played in this movie nailed their character's role. Jackman played an excellent lone bad***. Following the old cartoon video with the exception of lacking a few characters, and where Magneto's machine is, this movie is portrays the plot line of the cartoon like no other. Spider-Man, Daredevil, Hulk, Punisher, etc... all these superheroes were revived to movies simply put because the X-Men hit the box office like a ton of bricks. The reason being is before this movie we had flops like The Phantom, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, and Spawn. Bottomline is cinema with this growing trend of superhero movies would be a pile of crap had X-Men prove that these films are a force to reckon with.
