wow, best comic book movie ever made.

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2003)

I thought this was a great, great movie. It was very true to its material. Of course there are places in which it deviates, but it's a movie, and movies are confined to certain boundaries(i.e, every X-Men character cannot possibly be in these movies, that would take forever and not be very interesting). The fight scenes are of course the highlight of the movie, but the dialogue was very crisp, and kept with the comic very well. I only wish Wolverine would call Professor X "Chuck" like he always did in the comics. I loved the way Nightcrawler teleports, leaving the blue smoke behind, and I personally thought the hints at Jean Grey turning into the Pheonix were very well done, can't wait for that storyline in the next movie (which there better be one). All in all, terrific movie. 10/10
