Finally a credible comic book adaption.

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2000)

I have been told by some X-Men fans that the movie is not like the comic book. Honestly, how can you adapt such good story arcs into a 2 hour movie? Because the characters here are true to the comics (although some origins may have been changed) this movie is the best adaption of a comic book since Superman. Excellent special effects, good plot and crisp dialogue make this an must-see. If you think this is not the X-men you know and like, check out the cartoon. Did you like that? Why? At least the story here is more credible than those cartoons can ever be. (If you disagree, I have one word for you: Morph). Director Bryan Singer is to thank here, as his desire for good story telling has cleaned up superhero movies after director Joel Schumacher polluted them with his Batman 'adaptions'. Best of all: Mystique.
