FOR COMIC FANS, X-MEN DELIVERS

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2000)

Hugh Jackman nailed the part of Logan/Wolverine. Didn't think anybody could do it, but he nailed it. I also enjoyed the young version of Rogue and of course Ian McKellen as Magneto.
I'd like to say that you don't have to be a fan of the comic book to enjoy the movie, but can't. I think certain fans of sci-fi action will enjoy the X-Men; others will find it predictable.
Visually, the movie offers a few neat effects, but nothing at the caliber of The Matrix. Still, X-Men is worth a look. It is fun, fast paced and Jackman's performance is one to see.
