Unbelievably Believable!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2000)

After being a collector of the Uncanny Xmen comics for 20 years, (picking up my first copy when I was 14) I can describe the first full length Xmen movie as "FANTASTIC"! I know that the events of the movie are different to the true origins of the Xmen but to try and condense the entire comic 25 year plus Xmen history with all its diverse characters into a 90 minute believable movie is impossible. Thankfully this movie has portrayed as closely to the origins as I think they possibly can with the characters that have been used. It was totally enthralling to see other comic book characters like Shadowcat, Iceman, Moonstar, Jubilee and was that Johnny Storm of the fantastic four (all in professor X's office when Wolverine bursts in), come to life and look positively "Human". I wait to get this movie on DVD.
