Absolutely can't wait for a sequel!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2000)

I started reading the X-Men a long time ago along with the counterpart X-Factor. I just have to say that I thought this movie was THE best "based on a comic series ever done" It was definitely well worth the wait.
Although I think that perhaps Katie Holmes would have been a wonderful choice to play Rogue. I did like Anna Paquin's performance. But the character I totally loved and can not for the life of me get out of my head is Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
As soon as he came on the screen I was entranced with him. He just had a way about him and how he played Logan that I would never have anticipated. I'll admit that I wasn't always a fan of Wolverine in the comics. But Jackmans portrayal has shed a completely different light on Wolvie. I think he was a great choice for the role.
The other actor I have to praise would be Halle Berry as Storm. I've never really like Berry in anything else I have seen her in , but I really liked her as Storm.
I too laughed my ass off when Ray Park did his Darth Maul move at the elevator.I also cracked up at the yellow spandex joke.
The only bad thing I have to say about this movie is that the casting of Janssen and Marsden was kind of mismatched. She looks too much older than him.
Back when this movie was still a rumor I can remember thinking that the perfect choice for Xavier had to Stewart. I am pleased to say that I was not disappointed at all.
I completely recommend this film to all who are fans of the comic as well as those who have never even read it. All in all I would have to give it a rating of 15 out 10.
