A "Marvel"ous adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2001)

As a fan of "X-Men" the comic book for years, I was skeptical about how the movie would turn out once it was made. The thing I kept in mind was that they would stay somewhat faithful to the book. For the most part, Bryan Singer did this for X-Men, with some small exceptions. The costumes were changed to all black leather ~ ala Matrix, but it was all good. Wolverine was about a foot taller than what he was supposed to be, and Jean Grey was much older than what she was supposed to be, but the thing is, Singer made this work. I guess my only real complaint is that the movie was cut way too short. This movie could have easily been two hours and I probably would have enjoyed it just as much, if not more than what I had for what I saw. All I can remember is that my only thought was "I can't wait for the sequel." Christmas 2002 baby!
