This is the best super hero film.

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2000)

Never before have I seen a film that brings super heroes to life like X-Men. Hugh Jackman is perfect for Wolverine. I have to admit that I haven't read too many comic books and I've only caught the X-Men cartoon occasionally, but Wolverine is just how I imagined. He has rage and attitude, but the film shows that this is through frustration of not knowing the truth. Why he is, the way he is. He came across as such bad attitude but Singer perfectly portrayed him as a real caring "human" at heart!
The visuals were excellent for the budget that the film had (not exactly mega bucks like Titanic or Gladiator). But I don't think that it really needed big FX because the story line was so good.
The only mistake I think that was made with this film, is casting James Marsden as Cyclops.
X-Men is a typical super hero film with one major difference. It has a story and charaters that we can really relate to. Characters that we really care about.
This is no Batman and Robin !!
