Only because of Jackman's Logan.

Rating: 8/10 (5 April 2005)

First of all I don't read X-Men comics, but knew some other favorite characters like Spiderman, Hulk from it's company Marvel. When I heard something about this movie that, based on some fire popping sunglass man, and some other superheroes team like G.I.Joe, I thought to miss that Hollywood Chink. But years later when I saw this movie I was Blown away.
X-Men (Spoilers******)
Directed by Bryan Singer tells the first silver screen adaptation of Marvel comics flick X-Men. After millions and millions of years, evolution has gone up so far that it created a new race called Mutants, a type of species superior than ours Homo Sapiens. Humans hates and fears such paranormal super powered individuals, making a new discrimination among peoples. While the U.S government going on a thick discussion on this matter, a powerful mutant called Magneto decides to end the discrimination among the people by following his dream project. His idea is to transform all humans into mutants by a machine he invented with the help of an energy absorbing power source.
For that he has to go through his former friend Professor Xavier, a super-psychic mutant who believes that humans and mutants can live together in a peaceful world. He formed a mutant group called X-Men who helps for the goodwill of the world. For a good future of the both races X-Men finds Magneto and his evil mutants as their enemies. But things went wrong when a strange man named Logan and a girl called Rouge came between them.
Scripted by David Hayter for the story of Tom DeSanto and Bryan Singer himself tells the cinematic version of Stan Lee's creation. They really work hard to bring up the sci-fi universe with the backdrop of present world. I like the way they take on Wolverine's storyline blended with the main story and actor Hugh Jackman is so perfect for the part. He really looked as the Human version of Sean Chen's comics sketched Wolverine.
Also the soul created for X-Men was from legendary music genius Michael Kamen making the immerse of real world in futuristic tones. The other people who steal the show were Rebecca Romijn as shape shifting Mystique, Bruce Davison as Senator Kelly, and Darth Maul-Ray Park as Toad. All other were just OK or not perfect for the part, including old man Ian McKellen, teenage girl Anna Paquin. The Biggest loss occurred was Sabertooth, the movie reduced him to an angry monster even though Tyler Mane was perfect in the role, but the comic book version portrayed the character as a smart villain with animal instinct or someone like the WWE wrestler Triple H persona.
I will give this movie 8 out of 10.
A great movie that makes a non-fan to read X-Men comics.
