Just terrific

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2000)

This movie is just terrific. These characters are so great, and here is a movie which really showcases them. My hat is off to Bryan Singer and Tom DeSanto. I don't know if they read these comics or not, but they successfully captured what the X-Men are all about. They knew which characters to keep and who to save for later. (I certainly hope we get to meet Colossus and Nightcrawler in the sequel - which should take place in Europe, so we can meet the aforementioned international mutants, and maybe throw in Banshee too.) My pal Martin Thomas said it perfectly: "This is the best superhero movie since Superman I."
