The best comic book adaption movie ever

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2000)

Yup this movie stands above Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Spawn, Judge Dredd and the likes of it. Hell, all the following I mentioned above are not even good. It was even better than Blade and the original Batman movie. I finally realize what makes a superhero movie work, A good director and a production crew who actually cares. Most of these other shameful attempts are made by people who either have a long list of bad movies under their name or have no list at all. Backed by the companies who are shamelessly using their trademark names looking for a quick buck.
Fortunately, they've now learned their lesson. I guess after watching Spawn and Mortal Kombat flopping at the box office, they've figured that they can no longer fool the audience. With X-Men they've finally picked a critically acclaimed director in Bryan Singer (usual suspects). I'm quiet impressed by what he achieved because making this movie is a very hard task. If you were one of those comic book junkies like am I, you know what I mean. The original story of the X-Men is so complex and broad that I thought it would be impossible to create in a less than two hours movie. But this guy actually made it work.
This movie beats the Gladiator for the title best movie of the year. It's a must see! Don't forget though people, in the future, when you start hearing big hypes on certain movies, check who are actually making them.
