sorry, I'm in work no time to think of good titles right now

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2005)

There are certain types of movies that catch peoples attentions, they don't always have the biggest stars or the best known director (of course some people haven't heard of any directors other than Spielberg.) For example who before X-Men had heard of Brian Singer? I know I hadn't, his films before directing the movies with the mutants range from the Usual Suspects to Lions Den since then of course he went on to direct X2 and is currently working on another comic book movie in Superman Returns. Actor wise X-men does offer a lot of big names Patrick (Star Trek) Stewart, Ian McKellan and Halle Berry add to the list that is mainly led by the story of Hugh Jackmans Wolverine character.
After the little tale of Magnetos past X-Men starts off in a nice quiet town where very little happens, teens fall in love and have their first kiss and put there would be boyfriends into comasÂ….at least that is what happens on the day a young girl finds she's a mutant runs away from home and calls herself Rogue. Meeting up with a man in a bar isn't always a good thing, especially for a young girl but never the less that's just what she does when she meets the hulking Logan commonly referred as Wolverine, bring in the remaining X-Men and mutants who don't take the same hero look as them and you get an action packed movie that has not only spawned a sequel but a second and possible spin offs too.
In all this movie was probably more along the lines to the comics than some of the latest superhero outings (although I admit I never read most, but I'm going off what others have said) However I was impressed by this movie immensely and cannot wait to see the third instalment, and although Jackman plays Wolverine amazingly I would like to see the story revolve a little around another character than the previous two.
