Good movie but grossly overrated

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

From Bryan Singer's creative mind, this is an instant classic for all X-men fans! Hugh Jackman did an outstanding job on his debut as Wolverine. A must watch for X-men and marvel fans alike!

This in addition to being the start of the "X-Men" franchise was also the first superhero film of the 2000s as well as the first major adaption of a Marvel comic. This was a pretty solid movie with plenty going for it, even if there was better to come.Of course, one of the best things about this franchise is Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Logan/Wolverine. He is a tough joker and someone you don't wanna mess with and also very interesting to watch. He was made for the role just like how Christopher Reeve was made for Superman and Robert Downey Jr. was made for Iron Man.Many of the supporting characters are also interesting. Patrick Stewart is great as Professor Charles Xavier and Ian McKellen makes for a great villain in Magneto. Mystique, Storm, Cyclops, and Sabertooth also compliment the film nicely.The film has a solid enough story and some pretty exciting action sequences. I also liked the music score.However, one issue is that a lot of the supporting characters, while cool, weren't developed quite enough. One character I didn't care for was Anna Paquin's Rogue, who was a bit whiny.There isn't really anything to make the film anything more than solid. It really kind of felt like they were holding back some with this film. It isn't surprising that director Bryan Singer considers this to be the "prologue" to the "X-Men" series.It's still a good, solid movie that laid the groundwork for the "X-Men" movies. There would be better superhero films to come, but this is still worth watching.RATING: B

​Plot Overview: Humans have evolved over the years but the next step is in the form of mutants, humans with extraordinary abilities. When mankind tries to revolt against the mutant race, Eric Lashfer(Ian McKellen) leads an army back at them. With a war brewing it's up to Charles Xavier(Patrick Stewart)'s X-Men to save everyone.Directed by Bryan SingerStarring Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman# NO SPOILERS!Overall: This is an amazing superhero movies that works without the superheroes. It transcends the genre and becomes something much more than it appears. It's a beautiful story about acceptance and was a huge step in the life of Superhero movies.# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!Patrick Stewart is great as Charles Xavier however Ian Ian McKellen was absolutely phenomenal as Eric Lashner and became one of the greatest comic book villains of all time. Hugh Jackman was also awesome as Wolverine and began his 17 year journey as the character. Halle Berry was pretty good as storm as was James Marsden as Cyclops. Famke Janssen was a good Jean Grey and Rebecca Romjin was a good Mystique. Anna Paquin was, however, quite weak as Rouge.It holds a pretty good story and is a nice introduction to the universe. Themes of acceptance run throughout this movie and I think that is a truly excellent thing. It's the story and themes that makes this casual superhero flick transcend what is expected from comic book movies and made it something so much more. It's an excellent idea and works perfectly. It also contains an excellent ending and the doomsday weapon was NOT a sky beam which is nice.I feel like the movie was pretty poorly edited but apart from that the cinematography was reasonable.The effects were pretty good and looked reasonable.This movie needed to: Give a good amount of well directed and choreographed action ✔ Introduce new audiences to the wonderful X-Men universe ✔Personally, I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was excellently done.7/10Would Recommend

This is a great action movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 7.4 is a good ratting. But this is such a good movie 7.4 is underrating it. X men united is better. X men last stand is better. X men origins wolverine is also better. X men first class is also better. Wolverine is also better. X men day of further past is also better.
