The movie that both put mutants on the big screen for the first time AND introduced the 21st century to the superhero genre, "X-Men" might appear dated to some, but I prefer to use the term "retro."

The first superhero movie that didn't suck. This movie had pretty good visual effect's and Hugh JackMan played the wolverine so well nobody can't replace him.

The main problem with X-Men is that it spreads its characters too thin. By featuring a cast of mutants, it doesn't allow the core characters to become too developed and, thus, the series lacks the emotional depth of the recent Batman films, for instance.

The skill and craft comes through as interactions and expressions that are powerful within themselves, but the dialogue still shines with humour and keen intellect. The characters are colourful, with the irony of the black and white circulating around. It certainly blurs between the emphasis of both groups and it is difficult to understand who is right. As there is a variety of characters, there is always a particular one who stands out, mine being …

Bryan Singer's first attempt at the seemingly impossible task of bringing X-Men to the silver screen, like Tim Burton's original Batman before it, was something of a heroic failure. I was a huge fan and collector of X-Men comics as a teen, but I think trying to cram 37 years of X-Lore into one film would've been impossible and any script writer trying to do so would be insane. So what we have is a rather diluted and superficial summarization instead. Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellern were obvious choices for their parts and their scenes together are of course, quality. In fact the opening scene set during the holocaust is easily the best and sets up Magneto's character and motivations perfectly. I have to say Hugh Jackman made a pretty good fist of Wolverine too, and the political …
