X-CELLENT for it's Time

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2018)

What bad can I say about the film that kicked off modern superhero films in general. Other than its extremely dated. The visuals are very old, the dialogue is awkward, and the costumes while cool, could've been more comic inspired especially after seeing what we have now. Other than this the performances are fantastic Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Famke Jansen, James Marsden, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, and Ian McKellen clearly did their research and deliver only the best portrayals of their superhero/villain counterparts. The action is also really cool and just seeing these characters on screen for the first time is pretty amazing. While it doesn't stand the test of time well. X-Men still deserves some love for launching what we have now and giving us a fun ride that would later be surpassed by its predecessors.
