One of my favourites!!!

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2000)

When the "X-Men" movie came out, I had some doubts about it as I had seen the animated series and read a few issues of the comics and didn't like it very much. The only reason I went to see "X-Men" was because it had Ray Park in it and I absolutely loved him in "The Phantom Menace" as Darth Maul.
I have to say, "X-Men" is one of the best movies I've ever seen in a while, aside from "The Phantom Menace", thanks to the magnificent performances of all those involved. Hugh Jackman, who is well known in Australia, was a heck of a lot better than I expected and he really fits the role of Logan/Wolverine. Patrick Stewart also did a great job of portraying Charles Xavier, and ditto to Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto. I also had my doubts about James Marsden as Cyclops, but he too turned in a great performance. Heck, there aren't even any slackers in this cast.
My only real complaint about the movie after watching it was that the ending could have had some more action in it.
So go see "X-Men". I guarantee you will enjoy it. I rate it 8.5 out of 10.
