One of the best Marvel epics

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2006)

X-MEN was the ultimate blockbuster debut film for Bryan Singer. It had something the superhero films of the past (Christopher Reeve's Superman films and the Tim Burton/Joel Schumahcer Batman film line) were lacking: a heart and soul, marvelous visual effects, and a terrific cast! Patrick Stewart, the LEADING MAN of the film, was the perfect choice for a character like Xavier! I fell in love with his performance. Ian McKellen is great as Magneto as well! McKellen makes Magneto not a comic book character, but a misunderstood being hardened by events of the past. Hugh Jackman was a great casting choice for Wolverine. The rest of the cast are superb as well. Bravo, Bryan Singer, and bravo Patrick Stewart!
