Film of the year....so far

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2000)

I've been a follower of the X-Men series for a long time and I was stoked to see a film was being released, and directed by Bryan Singer to boot. This is the first movie adapted from a comic/cartoon series that I can think of that actually works and sticks to the original guidelines of the series. All of the characters are spot on, especially Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, who plays the constantly p***ed off part exceptionally well. A great cast with strong performances, brilliant effects that support the film (not the other way around for once) and a fairly decent storyline make for an entertaining film for fans and newcomers. Don't miss this, it blows M:I-2 out of the water.
