A good comic book film.

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2009)

X-Men is a decent comic book film. Not quite as good as some of the ones we have nowadays, but I still think it's a good film. I didn't even think it was the best in the series. I preferred X2. X-men is from director Bryan Singer, who has done some damn good films. Like The Usual Suspects. Singer does a good job with the first two films and should've stayed with this series. Instead, he left the X-men films for Superman Returns, which wasn't so good. I found that film irritating, and too long. None of the X-men films are that long, and they kept my interest. The X-men are cooler, more unique, and more interesting than Superman. A big chunk of the X-men are interesting, like Wolverine, who had an unexplained cast until his prequel came out. I also like Rogue(Anna Paquin). Mystique(Robecca Romajn-Stamos)is sort of sexy, but kind of blue. I even think that Magneto(Ian Mckellan) even though he's an evil bastard. I can't quite understand why he's evil, though I feel sorry for him because he was in a concentration camp. X-men is a well made comic book film that deserves more credit than it's received. It isn't quite the best in the series, but it's a good entry. I won't go into much detail with the plot, but I think X-Men is definitely a recommendation.
