It's a good and interesting start to an amazing Marvel series!

Rating: 7/10 (18 April 2014)

This first part of the series begins with the induction of two new mutants, Wolverine and Rogue, in Professor X's Academy. Intros to these characters are interesting, but the characters could have been developed a little more. The talented actors chosen to play these two characters, Hugh Jackman and Anna Paquin, is an interesting choice, and are utilized quite well. Though Mystique doesn't have much of a character, Rebecca Romijn is exquisitely hot as the seductive shape-changing accomplice of Magneto. Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are good as the leads of the two sides. Actors like Halle Berry and James Marsden are quite underutilized, and I hated the way the movie undermines Cyclops' character and pays too much focus on Wolverine's; in the animation series, Cyclops is the formidable and admirable leader. I loved the way they show how Rogue's front white hair came about.
Overall, it's a good and interesting start to an amazing Marvel series, which is the most mainstream allegory on the Gay & Lesbian community. But it didn't have the overall impact it could have had.
