Cool, laidback and surprisingly serious

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2001)

Though in general comic adaptations are very bad, this one are not. I'm not a big X-men fan (I've read a few) I find this movie to be one of the best i have ever seen.
Singer (The usual suspects) delivers a powerful cast, the heavyweights McKellen and Stewart are always good but the one that stand out is Hugh Jackman. His character Logan or Wolverine is a bar jumping, heart breaking, and fighter with a "heart if gold" that in every line shines with selfconfident an insecurity at the same time.
Bryan has also mellowed down the super hero aspect and concentrated on the fact that it is hard to be unusal and different.
I gave this film (of course) a 10 and I am looking foward to a sequel, which will be or I hope directed by Singer..
