At last!

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2000)

To quote a friend of mine, THIS is the movie I've been waiting for! I grew up reading the X-Men, so I was very apprehensive about the idea of them making a movie. Could Hollywood pull off such an endeavor without making it too campy or too Hollywood (are those two things disparate? Not sure...)? The first five minutes put my fears to rest. The characters are right, the dialogue is right, the story is right...everything clicks! And it wasn't just a special effects extravaganza like we've become so accepting of from Hollywood of late...this one has a story, character development, etc.
In short...GO SEE IT! Whether you're a fan of the comic or not, this one is sure to please!
