Consistency with comics.

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2001)

The movie "X-Men" has a few changes, but for the most part it remains true to the comics. Some changes are: Cyclops is younger in the movie, Wolverine and Sabretooth don't know each other in the film (In the comics, they worked together in Team X.), St. John Alerdyce is a student of Professor X' in the movie, but not in the comics. As an avid X-Men fan, I appreciate the director's keeping the characters and plot believable to comic fans and making changes to keep the characters from looking stupid (i.e. leather costumes instead of spandex). This is a difficult thing to pull off, but he has done it well.
