Great action linked with wonderful effects and a powerful storyline make this a must-see!

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2000)

This movie is a wonderful example of great entertainment while remaining loyal to the original comic series. With wonderful effects linked with a powerful storyline and good acting, audiences and comic loyalists alike will find themselves in the edge of their seats from the beginning and will find themselves thinking about the film long after they have left the theatres.
Each character portrayal is fairly well done. Patrick Stewart proves that he can go beyond the acting limits of his Star Trek experience, and prove he cannot be type-cast into one role.Hugh Jackman delivers a powerful performance as Logan (Wolverine) breathing life into a difficult character. He's definitely a star on the rise with a bright future and I will be watching him closely in the future.
I enjoyed this movie because it delivered a powerful plot concerning mutant discrimination allowing the movie to be applied loosely to our own lives. This movie gives a great beginning a successful future series.
