X-MEN is a great Summer movie for absolutely anyone! Go see it!

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2000)

X-men finally raises the quality of movies based on comic books. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. The characters are great especially Wolverine. Hugh Jackman does a wonderful job capturing Wolverine's character. This movie works because it takes not only the story but the audience very seriously. This is not a kiddie flick with fart jokes abound (see John Leguizamo's Violator in Spawn). Since I never read the original series, I can also say that ANYONE who watches this movie will enjoy it as much as I did and perhaps more.
