Stylish, action-packed, well-made

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2011)

X-Men is one of Marvel's few successful film adaptations that manages to give us a fun sci-fi flick while giving us a meaningful story.
The Good: 1. Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, and Ian McKellan are acting powerhouses as Professor X, Wolverine, and Magneto.
2. The story. Even though the story wasn't really in the comics, it still portrays the conflict between Professor X and Magneto who are both fighting for the same ideal but with different points of view.
3. The special effects were spectacular and managed not to make the film style over substance.
4. The supporting cast, including James Marsden, Famke Janssen, and Bruce Davison, all do a terrific job.
5. The score was terrific 6. The film manages to fit in some humorous parts to give the film a lighter touch, in the midst of the dark tone of the film The bad: 1. How Rogue's look and personality was much different from the comics.
2. Halle Berry's African accent when she played Storm.
Overall, this is a fun sci-fi flick and it is easy to see why the superhero genre has taken a successful turn since the film's release. This film is highly recommended and simply rocks.
Rating: 8.5/10
