Summary: x-men
Review: i thought the cartoon on fox was really good. and storm is the main character who does all the work in x-men. but i thought they should of given the part to somebody else to play storm. i do like hali barry but she didnt play a good role in this movie. this movie was pretty good but im sure if they make a sequel it will be better, as long as they dont over do it.

Summary: Great movie
Review: This is a very good movie, though I would disagree with everyone saying it's the best ever. I am partial to Star Wars... I also disagree with the statments that it is the best comic book adaption ever, as I absolutly love Superman (though the sequels went admittingly downhill... to one of the WORST movies I've seen with Sup IV)... However, lest you think that because of these opinions it is not a good movie, it was the best movie of 2000... and one of the best in recent years. I have no doubt that the DVD will uphold this.

Summary: What the Batman franchise should have been.
Review: X-Men, the first REAL attempt at bringing a Marvel Comic to life on the silver screen, succeeds on several levels. First, it is well written, leaving just enough cheese and in-jokes for fans of the comics--but it doesn't ignore the newbie, either. Each important plot point is explained, and we are saved from watching the "origin" of every character. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, and Ian McKellan as Magneto really steal the show. They've embodied their characters, and work well together. The message of discrimination is never played heavy-handed, but it comes across. All in all, a solid performance. Michael Kamen's music is wonderful and fitting. Just the right amount of adrenaline and somberness. (I recommend you by the CD as well as the DVD!) In short, X-Men is a rewarding superhero flick. People with children however, should be warned that there is an amount of violence, but it is not gory. All in all, and excellent movie.

Summary: Fun action flick, good Saturday night movie`
Review: Anyone looking for a good, fun movie with no baggage and no heavy emotional involvement would be well served by X-MEN. This is not Orson Welles, it's not even Orson Scott Card, but it is fun nevertheless. Patrick Stewart is a dead-on Xavier, and Hugh Jackman is almost as perfectly cast as Wolverine. The costumes have been updated (and watch for jokes referencing the costumes from the comic series), and a few major characters from the cartoon show do not appear, such as the Beast and Jubilee, but overall this is a fun movie experience that will not disappoint but will not change your life, either.

Summary: A Good Start
Review: The tomboy in me, the part that read the comic books and watched the cartoon for years, was waiting for this movie. That same part could easily have been disappointed with a movie about a comic strip so dear to my childhood memories. However, I am not disappointed. I am excited. I admit that this movie was more of an introductory movie. That excites me too... I can't wait to see the coming films. I'm thrilled by this movie because it focused on some of those characters who did not get as much attention, like Rogue (played by the wonderful Anna Paquin) and Wolverine (played by the relatively new face Hugh Jackman). The overplayed Cyclops, Jean Gray and Professor X are mostly in the background, and might get more play in the next movie. My only problem right now is where my other favorite, yet under appreciated, characters are and when they will appear. Hey, Gambit and Jubilee... I'm waitin' on you. Watch it, and be excited for what's to come.

Summary: Early DVD review
Review: I received a preliminary copy of the X-Men: The Movie DVD and I have to say it's very nicely put together. The menus are a lot like the official website for the movie if you had the chance to check that out last Spring when all the hype was in full swing. As for the movie itself, it's very good, perhaps the best super-hero movie ever made. Director Bryan Singer does a good job of establishing each of the main characters. While not everyone gets the amount of screen time Wolverine does, you get a pretty good sense who these characters are and what they're about. The story is essentially drawn from the X-Men comic book, featuring the team's battle against the violent mutant forces of Magneto, the mutant master of magnetism. Pitted against the X-Men's telepathic mentor, Dr. Charles Xavier, Magneto poses as Malcolm X to Xavier's Martin Luther King. While Xavier wants to establish a peaceful coexistence for mutants among humans, Magneto does not believe humanity will ever accept mutants and therefore adopts a more violent approach. The script could have used a little more tweaking here and there. The dialogue's clunky at times and the one liners aren't very original. The cinematography gives you a pretty good sense of a comic book come to life without going overboard like the Batman films or Dick Tracy. Nothing against those movies, but X-Men takes a more realistic approach to telling a super-hero story. The DVD also includes the trailers and a nice interview with Singer. All in all, a great package!

Summary: I saw it in the movies first
Review: I am not rating this as a DVD but as the movie I saw in the theatre plus all the trailers and backround information I saw since then. I though the character of Magneto had the most depth and was the most interesting. I went into the movie very skeptical as I had read one of the comic books a while ago and thought there would be too much glitz. Well there was alot of tasteful and very well done effects and the interplay between Wolverine and Cyclops towards Jean Gray had me smiling the whole way through. It was nice to see two guys as rivals yet not trying to kill each other. I also thought the Senator played by Bruce Davidson was very good too.

Summary: This movie should have been longer
Review: I was totally psyched to see X-men. Patrick Stewart was *born*, born I tell you, to play the role of Professor X. Ian McKellan made a fantastic Magneto and if you could have cast anyone other than Hugh Jackman as Wolverine I would like to know who that person is. That being said there were some disappointments about X-men, the largest being that the movie wasn't that long. I felt that the movie could have used another 30 or 40 minutes to further develop the characters. Supposedly there are a lot of scenes that were deleted from the movie, so perhaps "X-Men, the obsessive comics geek version" will be released some day with those scenes reintegrated into the movie.

Summary: An unbiased review....
Review: Well, what can I possibly add to the hundred of reviews of this long-awaited over-hyped cult comics adaptation? My sober and unbiased opinion, for it's the first time ever I've seen and heard the phenomenon called "X-men" (well, beside the toons they show on Cartoon Network). It's not what I'd call a WOW!-movie (as it always happens with movies where about half-dozen of good actors have just several lines to tell and nothing else to stand out), but far from an UGH!-movie (like much-despised 3 helpings of Batman). Good cast, plausible and persuasive intrigue, some visually splendid as well as emotionally touching scenes, minimum gore and lethal results. ALL in ALL the movie had a relaxing effect on me. The fans will buy it, the rest of you - watch it at least once. I don't doubt there will be at least 3 series upcoming, I hope they will not spoil the first impression...
