Best superhero film that has been done to date.

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2000)

No spoilers here. ..just wanted to let the purist know that as someone who collected the comics for years and knew the 'official comic" mythos, this movie's newly created mythos fits like a glove and you will love it. Bryan singer has just launched a big career as he directs this so-not-like-a-super-hero film that we never have to suspend our disbelief..we buy everything thats happening at all times. You also care deeply about the characters.
The doubts are over. Hugh Jackman IS Wolverine..younger maybe in his looks but every bit the Wolvie we all know and love..and gives a fantastic performance. Anna Paquin does great as Rogue as well..and they make great use of her original mutant power throughout the film.
The effects are top notch and die hard X fans will go nuts as the individuals powers are showcased very well. Make no mistake..the action when present is breathtaking..and you get some really great scenes. But the movie doesnt rely only on the eyecandy by no means. Like the Matrix, they do a great job of creating this other world that exists within our real world.. I hope they get crackin' on the sequel right away. Its going to be a long wait!
