My son is a superhero fan and had seen X-Men 2 and 3. We really wanted to see how it all started so we hunted down X-Men 1 and were glad we did. It is well done with good character development. If you like superheros, you will really like all the movies of the X-Men

Not many words needed to describe this wild and exciting ride with these unusual but intersting charaters.

Even for a movie based on a comic book, this one is pretty unwatchable, partly because it tries to take itself way too seriously. I saw "X-Men" shortly after seeing "Fantastic Four," and it suffers greatly by comparison. The only non-cardboard characters are Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Rogue (Anna Paquin), and even then Wolverine was too much the nice guy instead of an antihero. This also may be Patrick Stewart's worst movie yet, and Ian McKellen doesn't come out much better. The other actors simply chew the scenery. And -- again, even for a comic book -- the plot holes are enormous. E.g., where did the billions of dollars come from to construct the underground complex at Xavier's private school? (I hate to think what the tuition bills are like. . . .) The original Superman and Batman flicks are proof that a good film of this type is possible.

Of the three X-Men movies, this is my favorite. At the time of its release, it was fresh, new and ground breaking with its action scenes and special effects. The story line also stayed true to the comic book (somewhat), which is very rare in comic book adaptations. Don't watch the follow-up films until you watch the first one. It really is the jump-on point. Both comic book enthusiasts and non-comic book readers alike will like this film.
Highly recommended flick in my book. Check it out.

As an adaptation, I think, this outing from Marvel's partnerships with Hollywood isn't quite as good as the first two Spiderman films. Of course, the special effects are splendid (Storm calling up the weather, Magneto at work, his henchman Toad hopping about flourishing an incredible tongue, shapechanger Mystique, and Wolverine's claws, to name a few), and Patrick Stewart as Prof. Xavier was an inspired casting choice. But there's a certain darkness to the movie that isn't just about Marvel angst (I would have preferred to see the costumes from the original comics rather than a generic uniform, for one thing). What's more, the focus is less on the X-Men as a whole than on Wolverine (perhaps to be expected considering his fan base!) and Magneto. And even without being able to read Magneto's mind, it seems that a genius like Xavier, with the advantage of his long acquaintance with Magneto, would at least entertain the possibility that it's Rogue, not Wolverine, that he wants. (Wolvie, after all, has apparently been out and about for a while before we meet him by way of Rogue, the newly-fledged Mississipian mutant who has run away from home in terror of what her powers do to people.) On the other hand, Magneto is a villain with whom one can almost sympathize (especially considering that we learn early on that he survived the Nazi Holocaust and therefore fears that mutants may be the target of another such program--or should that be pogrom?). I'm hoping that the subsequent chapters will give Cyclops, Jean Gray, and Storm more chance to shine. On balance, though, it's a well-done action movie with a strong underlying message, and could well serve as a springboard for some good family discussions.
