Embrace The Evolution...

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2000)

Let me begin by saying that this movie is almost worth seeing just for Hugh Jackman's performance of Wolverine...he did an excellent job (well, I'm not a reader of comic books anymore, but I've seen the animated series..) - or at least, he did an entertaining job...
Patrick Stewart did a great job also - as did every cast member basically...
The story has some good action, a pretty interesting plot, great humor, and also compelling love-interest (I won't say between whom); making for a well-balanced movie...
The characters seemed real - as did the movie overall - despite this however, I can only give the movie a 'better-than-average not excellent' rating - I guess because it's hard to take a movie based on a comic book VERY seriously...
Still, I think there's little they could have done to make this movie better...(except maybe make it longer)...
'X-Men' is definately worth seeing - it presents itself in a very realistic manner with the right touch of seriousness and humor to make for probably one of the better movies of this year...(yup, the movie has a great message)...
[7/10]
