A disappointment.

Rating: 5/10 (22 November 2000)

X-MEN is a disappointing film. It's all set-up and no payoff. By the time the movie finishes introducing us to all the characters, it's already an hour into the film, and then they tack on some cheesy ending. I did like the actors though- especially Ian McKellan as Magneto. I will be interested in watching the sequels to this film, because next time they won't have to waste their time with introductions, and just get right into the story.
