Summary: It's no Batman but it could be
Review: I'm sure alot of X-men fans will be a little anoyed when they see the film. The fact is, the characters aren't exactly the same as the comic books and you could argue that Halle Berry is too pretty to play Storm or that Famke Janssen is too scary to play Jean or that Ian McKellen(while an excellent actor) isn't the same Magneto we remember. However, people who forget about the comic and let themselves enjoy the movie on it's own terms will be plesently suprised.

The movie has excellent special effects and the action sequences really come alive. For the most part, the actors do very well with their parts even though Wolverine is the only character that is truely developed.

The only thing which really bothered me about the film was that it felt more like an introduction to the X-men universe. With the exception of Wolverine and Rougue, none of the characters are recieve much development or screen time. The basic story of also isn't explored very much and the film seems to over a bit too quickly. This is obviously becuase the writers are planning a sequel and if the sequel is done right, it could de-throne Batman as the best superhero film ever made.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: O.K., I've already paid money to see this movie twice.....
Review: My first review with Amazon....ever. I walked away from this movie feeling like Bryan Singer had phoned me personally and asked me exactly what I wanted to see in this movie. It was everything I could have hoped for and more. Though never a fan of the comic books, I did take an interest in the cartoon. I always favored the character of Rogue and was pleased to find that her character wasn't placed on the backburner in this movie. The relationship between Rogue and Wolverine was developed splendidly. Casting Patrick Stewart as Xavier was inspired. I remember being slightly disappointed after finding out that Dougray Scott had pulled out of the movie at the last minute, but I have to say that Hugh Jackman did the character proud. Dougray? Dougray who? The writing was great, the characters true and the movie just plain fun. I couldn't possibly ask for more......except someone convincing my husband that I'm not crazy for wanting to go see it a 3rd time.

Summary: I Got To See This Movie and I really injoyed it.!
Review: My friend, my Grandpapa, and the person who works at the library got to see this before me. Well, I won't say that I am the fastest to the movies. But when I did get to see it, I liked it a lot. It triggered my imagination, and was fun to see. All the special effects didn't hurt it either. (Smilie face.) Even my mom liked this one. What I want to know is when is the sequal coming out? Oh well I guess I will just have to wait. It was surprisingly like a comic strip. But I like Batman a bit better. Since I usually buy a commic strip if I want one and wouldn't go and pay money to see one in a movie. But I liked it any-way. So if you want you might just want a fun time at the movies so don't miss it, see ya.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent movie, excellent cast... GO SEE IT NOW
Review: I was expecting a mediocre movie when I bought my ticket for this movie, but it was incredible! Everyone in the cast was great... except for Halle Berry. She needs to work on that accent a little bit... maybe it'll be better in the forthcoming sequels. Hugh Jackman did a great job playing Logan and Patrick Stewart was excellent (as always) in playing Professor X. So I close by saying... stop reading these stupid reviews and GO SEE X-MEN!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stunning All The Way Across The Board
Review: When I was small (between seven and eleven), I worshipped the X-Men. From Wolverine's short fuse and great one-liners, to Archangel who I was in awe of for having wings, to my favorite character Gambit who threw cards that would explode; I loved it all. And to be perfectly honest, after learning of the film in it's production stages, I thought it was going to be the worst film ever. How many good comic book movies are there? The first two "Batman" movies and that's it. But as the film came closer to it's release, I was dying to go see it. And now I'm so glad I did, as it's one of my favorite films. The acting isn't gonna bring home any Oscars, none of the actors were given time to let their characters develop. Both Ian Mckellan (Magneto) and Patrick Stewart (Professor X) were far too underused. And even Halle Berry (Storm; who actually can act unlike the majority of Hollywood's pretty faces) was given a short amount of screen time. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) is the main character and to be honest, nobody could have been a better pick than him. He fit his roll perfectly. Which leads me to another thing, the casting in this film is top-notch, everybody fits their role as if they were the characters themselves. The costume designs are great as well, from Storm's white hair, to Sabretooth's whole outfit, you'll want to go shopping at Xavier's school for mutants yourself. Then there's the effects. Not one moment on the screen will leave you bored. The battles are epic, their powers even more so. It rivals "Star Wars: Episode 1" for the visual glory. Unlike "Episode 1" though, you'll actually find a story worth getting into. It's basic, it's not too difficult to understand, and it's nothing new, but it definitely works. Maybe I shouldn't have said that, after all, wasn't "Saving Private Ryan" the same epic story of peace through the battle of the good guys and bad guys? Well, yeah, basically. And yet once again "X-Men" does the same basic story and delivers. A war is brewing between mutants and humans. On one hand, you have Professor X and his X-Men who is trying to educate humans of their knowledge on what mutants really are. On the other, you have Magneto who believes that mutants are superior to humans and intends to fight this would be war to the bloody end. A war never happens, but one between the mutants themselves does. The battles, while short, are quite mesmerizing. I should mention this, but even if you have no knowledge of the characters, you'll still fit right in. Nothing about this movie is for fans only (except that joke about yellow tights). One thing I wish the movie had more of is bad guys. Only four? No problem. The ending practically screams sequel at the top of it's lungs. Juggernaut? Apocolypse? And for the good guys, how about Gambit? Nightcrawler? Pyslocke? Jubilee? All in the sequel, I'm sure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Should be placed beside Star Wars in epic film making
Review: This is perhaps the best movie ever done with Superheroes. Better then the Superman and Batman movies, and almost as good as Star Wars. The X-Men are a band of super powered mutants who must defeat Magneto, before he kills everyone in New York City. Everything about this movie works. From a good cast of actors to fine special effects. I hope they do a sequal and can't wait for it to come out on video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: X-Men
Review: X-men Was a great movie based off of the marvel comic books. This is a movie that was hyped for a long time before it's release. All time we had to wait was well worth it. This movie does a nice job introducing all the X-Men. Charles Xavier sends his X-Men out to stop Magneto from radiating the human race to turn them into mutants. The best part of the movie is the interplay between wolverine and roughe. Lets hope that the sequels that follow will be as good.
