Summary: X- Men
Review: They are mutants, genetically gifted human beings - the world's newest and most persecuted minority group. Amidst an increasing climate of fear and bigotry, one enlightened individual, Professor Charles Xavier, has founded a school and safe haven for these powerful outcasts XMEN Cyclops. Jean Grey. Storm. They are the children of the atom, homo superior, the next link in the chain of evolution. Each was born with a unique genetic mutation, which at puberty manifested itself in extraordinary powers: Cyclops' (James Marsden) eyes release an energy beam that can rip holes through mountains; Jean Grey's (Famke Janssen) strength is both telekinetic and telepathic; and Storm (Halle Berry) can manipulate all forms of weather. In a world increasingly filled with hatred and prejudice, they are scientific oddities ... freaks of nature ... outcasts who are feared and loathed by those who cannot accept their differences. Their detractors include U.S. Senator Robert Kelly (Bruce Davison), a McCarthyesque politico whose legislation is designed to "expose the dangers" of mutants. Yet despite society's pervasive ignorance, Cyclops, Jean, Storm and thousands like them survive. Under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), the world's most powerful telepath, these "gifted" students have learned to control and direct their respective powers for the greater good of mankind. They fight to protect a world that fears them.

Summary: I remember this-
Review: Back in the old days, when my brother used to watch the cartoons and collect the cards. Re-visions are one of my favorite kinds of movies, and like everyone else says, this one is kewl! ^_^ It may be hard to understand if you're not familiar with X-Men, though. Patrick Stewart, as my friend says, makes the perfect Professor X. Great special effects, awesome actors, cool story. The one problem for me, though- WHERE'S GAMBIT?! *sniff* aw well, sequel time-

Summary: Wonderful movie
Review: A wonderful movie that translated the comic book well to the big screen. Doing what no other comic book themed movie has been able to do, these characters actually came across as "real". With the exception of Halle Berry as Storm (Angela Bassett would have been much better), each actor played their character perfect. Hugh Jackman will make you believe there is a Wolverine. Halle Berry, as usual, is good for looking at but not acting. Capt. Picard, I mean Patrick Stewart, is great as always. Don't let the fact that it's a comic book adaptation turn you off from seeing this movie. It'll definitely be your loss.

Summary: The Uncanny X-Men
Review: Not only have I been a long time X-men fan, but have antisipated the arival of the Uncanny X-men to the silver screen for a long time. This movie lived well up to its expectations, with special effects that eat Jurassic Park for lunch, and fight scenes that would knock out The Matrix, X-men, was undoubtedly the most enjoyable film of the summer. Now myself being a huge X-Men fan, absolutely loved this movie. But this is a movie for people that know nothing about the series also. With a very descriptive storyline, and character interaction relatioships, X-men hit the nail on the head with orinal movie, with many sequels to come. Director Bryan Singer did an excellent job of not revealing too much of the story in two hours, but revealing just enough to keep audiences coming back for more. Newcomer Hugh Jackman was such a resembolence to the Wolverine of the comic series, it was scary. With the outstanding performance he gave, he will be a global superstar for sure. With other excellent performances by Patrick Stewart, Ian Mckellan, Halle Barry and others, the X-Men series, will be the most popular since Batman for sure. I highly recommend this movie to any movie fan --period. With the excellent performances, direction, storyline and special effects,the X-Men most definitly, will be back.

Summary: Finally! A comic book movie that delivers the goods!
Review: I'll admit, I was skeptical when I first heard that X-men was being made into a movie. Natuarally, I looked back at what happened to Batman and shrugged. But when I found out Bryan Singer was directing, I became hopeful and I am not dissapointed. X-men is a stylish artistic ride through the world of X-men. Plus it has something some writers can learn from: a story. The characters in the story are the most important, and each character has a personality of his or her own. Although I would of liked to see a little more of Storm's character. Plus the movie was cast almost perfectly. Patrick Stewart and nobody else could have played Professor X, it was perfect. Plus the production design, costumes, and special effects are true to X-men, and make it even better. Although some HARDCORE fans may try to find things wrong with this, it is just a very well made film. I also can't wait for the DVD, it will be great. Highly Reccomended.

Summary: Absolutely Fantastic
Review: First of all, let me start off by saying that I have been a comic book veteran for years. I have read a multitude of titles and the X-men being one of them. When I had heard about the release of X-Men the movie I was very skeptical. This had all of the potential of being a big-costume, big-budget bust. Tim Burton's brilliance aside, I could not realistically see a good movie coming from a comic book. Needless to say, Brian Singer proved me wrong. Hugh Jackman gave the best performance in the movie by far. The tragic characters of Magneto and Rogue were brought to life in a much different light then the comics have painted. The special affects were absoluteley awesome. I saw this movie and realized that I was not watching a comic book on-screen, but a story unfold. OK, I can admit a bit of the dialouge was a little forced, but overall this movie has far exceeded my expectations. No you do not have to be a comic book fan to enjoy this movie. X-Men tells a story of tragedy and triumph, with no defined good or evil. Cheers to Singer and to the whole cast and crew for annhilating the skeptics.

Summary: X-eptionaly good
Review: Wow!Now this is one heck of a sci-fi\action flick!Brian Singer sure proved to be a man of many skills.X-men is by far one of the best comic book-to movie-adaptations with only the original Batman and Batman Returns being on the same level.Why?First of all it actually has a script(no Batman & Robin bull),secondly it's a believable plot.Then we have the characters:all of them are suberb!Singer obviously did his homework cause these characters mirror the comic book heroes in an amazing way,both with the use of their powers and their way of thinking and actions.Then we have the action scenes which are breathtaking and put movies like M:I2 into shame(it's up there with the Matrix,honest) and special effects the likes of which we haven't seen in a while(again since Matrix).Plus the way Singer "ends" the movie is really smart 'cause he doesn't really close any chapters ,just saying "i'll be back with a sequel".The way it finishes kind of reminds me of the original Star Wars ,as if it's part of a series:In fact,the movie itself is just like a comic book issue..there is always next month!The only critisism i have for X-men is that it is very short.It couldv'e been a lot longer and there for better.That is the only reason i gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.Make part 2 longer please!

Summary: This aint no batman movie bub
Review: This is by far the best super-hero/comic book movie ever made. It has a good story, and the actors really do an excellent job of bringing the X-Men to live action. Unlike those crappy Batman movies, X-Men is meant to be taken seriously. There are some funny scenes, but the movie is not full of cheesy bland one-liners that the DC Comic movies are full of. Hugh Jackman does a superb job as Wolverine. Wolvie is basically the main character of the movie, and every scene that he is in is better than the last. There are several elaborate fight sequences between Sabretooth and Wolverine that are fun to watch. This is really a movie that is fun for almost the entire family. I am very happy that it is coming to video so quickly after it has left the theaters. If you are anyone you know is a comic book or action movie fan, get this movie for them.
