Everything I had hoped for

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2000)

This is everything a comic book movie should be! I was extremely pleased with the faithfulness of the characterizations to the comics. All of the actors were wonderful, and newcomer Jackman will definitely be a star after this. He made a perfect Wolverine, completely capturing the complexity and rage of the character.
The movie is comprehensible for those uninitiated and unfamiliar with the world of the X-Men, and satisfying for those who know and love it.

Don't be scared off by recent (bad) attempts at bringing comic books to the big screen. X-men is worth every penny.
