I've never given that much of a fuck about the "X-Men" franchise to be honest. I'm not sure why. I guess it's just been something that's never interested me when I was younger or even today.

Up until this point I've only seen the movies that have come after the main franchise (Those being the two Wolverine movies and "Days of Future Past") but I've never seen the one that many would argue brought back Comic Book movies back into the spotlight after THAT infamous movie from the mid 90s if you catch my drift.

So how is it? It's pretty good! It's aged pretty poorly in some areas (Those fight scenes and effects tho) but for the most part…

A promising start of the X-Men universe on the silver screen, X-Men is a fascinating work of science-fiction & a terrific addition to the superhero genre film. This is the first time I've watched it & now I'm wondering what the hell actually stopped me from checking it out earlier. The only other X-Men instalment I've seen before is X-Men: First Class & if it wasn't for its latest sequel which brings back the cast from the original trilogy, I wouldn't have bothered to give it a go & would've again missed out on what actually is a pretty good film.

Set in a not-so-distant future in which few people around the world are mutants; possessing superhuman powers that has also resulted in them…

Ever since Marvel became a household name, I've been planning to return to the scene of the crime and investigate where this hero of the box office got its powers. While X-Men was neither the first Marvel Studios live action co-production (Blade) nor the one to really launch the studio into the spotlight (Spider-Man), for me it signified the superhero genre's shift from the realm of b-movies, cult classics, and relative obscurity onto the center stage of the American blockbuster. It may have only grossed a modest $300 million compared to Spider-Man's $800 million, but it proved that you could use wonky sci-fi characters in a mainstream action movie to get audiences…

Bryan Singer gave himself quite a chore with 2000's "X-Men." In the space of a single film, he needed to introduce the personalities and powers of an ensemble of beloved characters, allowing each the opportunity to stand out and be recognized. For the most part, he succeeds, and "X-Men," while not the greatest superhero film, is a solid motion picture. It lacks the personality of better superhero and better X-men films to come, but it gets the franchise off to a good start.

The film begins by moving across eras and introducing its major players. Magneto, Rogue, and Wolverine are given separate moments before they are integrated into the film's plot. This allows Singer to establish a serious tone and…

I was entertained by this movie. It certainly is not the best quality but I liked it. The plot is simple and has good suspense, humor(a very small fraction of tasteful), and action(outdated as it may be). X-Men is just a standard easygoing to watch superhero movie. I had a much better experience with this old 20th Century Fox than with any of the other Marvel Studios pieces. While the quality is much better for the Marvel Studios, the plot and overall experience are better in this X-Men.

There are a plethora of flaws. Cheesy comedy, a few pathetic lines, the character of Toad( is so dumb), and piss poor action in the final act. I mean there is nothing…

The first X-Men movie was released in 2000 and was directed by Bryan Singer and stars Sir Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Sir Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, and many more. It follows the story of “mutants,” an oppressed group of various super-powered humans that are apparently the next stage in human evolution. That’s not how evolution works at all, but I’ll let that slide because this is a fictional universe.

The first X-Men movie, though quite dated, is a mostly really good movie. The cast is all wonderful, everyone looks the part. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is probably one of the best castings of any superhero, and Sir Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are both fantastic as well. The acting is…
