Best comic-book movie ever!

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2000)

This was easily the best comic-book movie ever done, faithful where it needed to be and taking liberties only where necessary, and only to make the story better. They avoided most of the common pitfalls (like making it campy) and while most of the characters are pretty light, Hugh Jackman and Anna Paquin really bring life to their roles, and McKellen shines as Magneto.
If you don't like super-heroes, you may not care for it... but if you don't like super-heroes because of goofy dialogue, strange spandex costumes and totally ludicrous plots rather than just hating the concept, you'll probably enjoy it a lot. And super-hero (especially X-Men) fans will greatly enjoy it.
