Rating: Null/10 (10 September 2000)

Whenever I hear there that a comic is made into a movie I start to cringe. As a comic fan I have seen a lot of blasphemy. Crying Freeman is the only comic movie that stayed true to the comic. All the other comic movies always have a story differing from the comic. That bothers me but sometimes some comic movies get of the hook. The Punisher and Blade didn't follow the comic but they were good. X-Men surprised me a lot though. The effects were great. There was not a lot of action but somehow the story of Rogue and Wolverine captivated me more, although I think Rogue should have been Kitty or Jubilee. Hugh Jackman is megacool as Wolverine, something that I didn't expect at all. Hugh reminded me of Clint Eastwood though. Don't know why. Maybe his facial expressions or his hair are the reason. I really liked the movie it surprised me. If you like science fiction or comics X-Men is the movie for you. There were 2 negative points though. Mystique looked worse than the Mystique in comics and Cyclops was really a wimp, unlike in the comic where he is a real leader and a likeable character.
