Paved the way for Marvel's meteoric rise

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2018)

X-Men is a little slow to start, but it soon gains momentum and pulls together a well-made superhero movie. This film paved the way for Marvel's meteoric rise in Hollywood. It stays true to the characters and doesn't try anything too crazy with the storyline. It's a straightforward origin story with excellent visual effects and a good ensemble cast. Hugh Jackman, I apologize for doubting you could be Wolverine.
