Awesome!

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2011)

X-men is what I call the beginning of Marvel and the superhero era. After this movie was released eleven years ago, studios have been releasing superhero movies in force. I wouldn't say this is the best, but it's up there. I had a fun time watching this movie and the great special effects.
This is a movie about mutants pretty much. There are two sides: a group of mutants under Professor Xavier and another group under the nefarious Magneto. Pretty much Magneto does not believe that humans and mutants should live together so he has plans to get rid of the humans and the mutants of Xavier must stop them.
The ensemble acting here is very good. This is the breakout role for Hugh Jackman. He is the best guy to portray Wolverine. Patrick Stewart and the great Ian McKellan are perfect for their rival leader roles.
Overall, this is a fun movie with great special effects that hold up even in today's movies. There is some charm and wit that I was pleased. I rate this film a 9/10.
