Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2006)

I will not pretend to know a whole lot about the X-Men comics: I haven't read one. However, this film was well made, it got the message across and also displayed many mutants that non fanatic audiences would haven't have known about otherwise. Though the cameos from Angel and a few other important mutants were there, they left the audience wanting more. The addition of other minor mutants added to the film, rather than taking away from the experience. Who ever edited the film did a great job, there wasn't a dull moment throughout the entire movie. The effects were superb. The many-tiered story line never got confusing, which is an accomplishment for such a movie. Ian McKellen, my favourite throughout the film did a fantastic job, I couldn't have imagined a better performance. In all, it was very enjoyable and worth the money I paid. A definite go-see for all movie and comic book fans.
