Finally, a great comic-book adaptation.

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2000)

A true sci-fi gem. It's re-assuring to see Hollywood have finally produced another well-adapted comic (they seemed to lose the plot after Tim Burton's Batman).
As one would expect the special effects are nothing short of mesmerising. The script is wonderful - with more than a few inside jokes and the cast is fabulous. Patrick Stewart apparently had a ball as Professor X and Anna Paquin and Ian McKellan played their respective roles to perfection. However, it was Hugh Jackman who stole the show with his accurate portrayal of Wolverine.
This movie is destined to be an all-time sci-fi success. Parts 2 & 3 can't be too far away.
