Summary: Take a Chance and Watch It!
Review: I teach second grade. Needless to say, I have come to know the X-men as humans who have very special qualities which are used to fight crime. When this movie was in the theatre, I absolutely refused to see it when my friend asked me to go. I'm not a science fiction fan and don't read comic books. I also don't watch cartoons. Why in the world did you rent it, you may be asking. There was nothing else to rent so I decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did.

I can't really explain the movie because it was unique. I base my feelings about movies on suspense. Did it keep me interested? Did I fall asleep? Did I find myself reading a book instead of watching it? I found myself answering "yes" to the first question. If you aren't one to enjoy sci-fi, rent it and see if you too might like it.

Summary: An educational superhero movie.
Review: No, I'm not talking about some saturday-morning animated special. It's X-Men: The Movie, and it has parallels to our real-life issues of discrimination, racism, and nationalism. You, a concerned, hyper-zealous parent, must be thinking, "What the--? A super-human comicbook movie adaptation that actually contains useful material for our generation of youngsters?"

That's right, Mrs. Censor. You see, X-Men's plot goes around the premise of a world where certain people are starting to attain magical superhuman abilities because of their genetic predisposition. Because of the way they are born, people begin to fear them and what they can do. Thus, the public gets pees their panties and wants the aforementioned "freaks" to be, in one way or another, contained. Any way you cut it, that's discrimination, folks. This is not by any means a shock to readers of the comics (as well as viewers of the animated TV show), since the theme of X-Men has always centered around the ideas of social acceptance and insecurity.

The moral depictions are pretty cool, but what other things are cool about this movie are the way our heroes (and villians) have their super-powers visualized. I won't spoil them for you right here, but believe me when I say fans of the comicbook will appreciate the innovative effects and stunts that bring the X-Men's "mutations" to life on the screen.

This movie has its share of flaws, though. As many comic fans would have predicted, Wolverine gets the lion-share of coverage and development, while characters like Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Gray are underdeveloped. I would've liked to see more of the mentor-pupil relationship between Scott Summers and Professor Xavier that was so evident in the comics. However, Rogue was nicely characterized, subbing in for Jubilee as Logan's dependent friend and companion.

What can I say? The movie is deliciously great, and its low-points mean diddly-squat in the midst of its high-points. It's a comic-book fan's dream. If you like the comics, buy this film. If you don't like the comics, buy this film anyway. If you have any idea how hard it is to pull off successful comic-book film adaptations, you'll by this film right now.

Summary: Good movie
Review: I was never much of a fan of the X-Men comic book (I'm waiting for the live-action Spider-Man movie next year), but I have the admit the creators of this film did a pretty good job. The story is intelligent and fairly interesting. The special effects are impressive without being overbearing, as they were in "The Phantom Menace". I did find the Rogue character a bit dull. Wolverine is the standout of the picture, with his wisecracking attitude and ferocious fighting style. The DVD edition has plenty of special features that should keep you busy for a while.

Summary: For those of you who don't read X-Men
Review: The reason I went to see this movie is that I'm a huge fan of both Patrick Stewart and Ian McKlellan. I know very little about the X-Men except what I've heard and so I walked into this movie with very little expectation. I was mildly surprised with the storyline, in the fact that there was one. I was very pleased with the acting and the characters themselves. The script was weak, with Storm's best line coming in as "Do you know what happens to frogs when they get struck by lightning? The same thing as everything else." OOoo..striking. The villains were interesting and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos in total blue is enough to set any young boy aflame. Not the greatest movie, but better than most of the other comic book movies out there.

Summary: Satisying the kid within
Review: You're grown up now. You don't read comics. Time, Wall Street Journal, your local paper; those are the kinds of things you read. Not comics.

Get over it.

This is a really fun movie, that handles its source material with enough respect to allow everyone from rabid fan to fresh initiate to enjoy this film. The special effects are used for effect more than to dazzle, and the sound will showcase your home theater welll. The story is engaging, relying on characters to move the plot more than it relies on the standard super villian plot. The characters are well fleshed out, with only a few exceptions (Halley Berry's character, Storm, being one of the poorest portrayals, but she gets minimal screen time).

Best of all, it satisfies the kid within. It has adventure, action, romance, conflict - and a grounding in reality that effectively suspends your disbelief. Give it a look.

Summary: Not as nice as it seems
Review: The graphics are somewhat cool, but the movie itself lacked a major factor "an ENDING" . The only part I like was a special feature of Spider Man entering into a scene which made everyone laughed. My last word is that the movie needed more than just special effects.

Summary: Fantastic Movie
Review: Brian Singer did a fantastic job with bringing the X-Men to the silver screen. He definitely followed in the footsteps of tim Burton, Batman & Batman Returns. Whenever comic books are made into movies, they always fail when they try to be a comic book, i.e. - Batman & Robin. Singer kept the characters real and human. As silly as Wolverine's haircut is, I owuld never have it, one can't help but believe it and accept it as real. This movie has excellent, but far inbetween,action sequences. Less is definitely more here. The character development of Magnetto, Wolverine, and Rogue was fantastic. The special effects were fabulous. Anyone who likes an action movie with a story and real plot, i reccomend buying purchasing it.

Summary: Best Comic Book Movie Made
Review: Finally, a decent movie made about a great comic book! A rarity for anyone who's seen The Punisher, Superman, or the multiple Spiderman flicks!

Excellent storyline and characterization. Would have loved to see more back story, hopefully there will be that in the sequel.
