Finally a comic-book movie that is just as good as the comic itself!!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2000)

I grew up collecting the X-Men comic books and action figures and watched the cartoon every Saturday morning. I grew out of the routine as I got older, but when I heard that they had made a movie, I was so excited. I couldn't wait to see it. Well it was worth the long wait, the movie was wonderful. I think it was smart that they didn't put alot of the X-Men in the movie that would just make the story more complicated, and I think anytime you base a movie on a comic don't use alot of the characters or you'll just get a bad movie, perfect example "Batman & Robin." Wolverine is played wonderfully by Hugh Jackman, he is the toughest S.O.B., he's the guy everybody likes. The special effects are wonderful and the movie is just great. In fact I'm going to see it again this week, I liked it so much. I recommend this movie for anybody, even if you're not a fan , you will get your money's worth in the theater.
**** out of ****
