After a couple of years since my last viewing of the original trilogy, what better time is there than now to give this franchise another spin and recall how the cinematic journey of the mutants began.
Bryan Singer’s X-Men marked a new wave for Marvel Enterprises following the success of the first Blade movie and, with the help of 2002’s Spider-Man, transformed the genre into the box office juggernauts we know today. Although not always discussed in the annals of great comic-book adaptations, or even considered the height of its own franchise (thank you Logan and Days of Future Past for being absolutely incredible), 2000’s X-Men is an important moment in the superhero genre, bringing important social themes to the…
A diverting launch for the X-Men franchise with the Fox side of Marvel at the helm of it. The initial X-Men film out of many to come held up relatively well on the whole with this much-needed revisit, though it definitely feels somewhat dated looking back now since this was the beginning of it after all.
Still, I'd say this was a fairly solid start for a live-action X-Men series as this film certainly established the comic book film spectacle of the 2000s before the eventual rise of the MCU came into the picture.
As expected with most of the early 2000s comic book films, a considerable number of the visual effects used throughout here particularly in the action sequences…
As much as X-Men is painfully average, there are still many enjoyable and refreshing aspects of the film. Given that there had been no introduction to any of the characters prior to this film, Brian Singer does a good job of making them interesting. Plus, it establishes the conflict between Eric and Xavier, which has been an integral part of many films that come afterward. Not to mention, the character introduction, especially that of Wolverine, was incredible. We instantly know the basic characterization given to each of them, which was enough to get behind the movie. Hugh Jackman was the optimal choice for the role of Wolverine, and he proved it for the next 17 years.…

This film was directed by Bryan Singer and stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian Mckellen, Anna Paquin, Famke Janssen, James Madden, Rebecca Romijn, and Tyler Mane
Somehow I managed to see every single other X-Men movie before the first I probably saw it when I was very little but I had no memory of it so I’m gonna consider this as my first watch, I expected to like it because I love all the other movies even the mediocre ones. I’m so glad to say I loved it, the special effects surprisingly still hold up extremely well for the time. Everyone is perfectly casted in the X-Men movies, yes everyone and even…
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…
not to be dramatic, but i would happily watch this movie for the rest of my life until i am dead
"Oh and Logan? Stay away from my girl."
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…

Not the most thrilling movie I've ever seen, but a solid start to the series. A lot of great characters and villains were introduced in this one.

sorry......... i don’t know who the fuck “the avengers” are..... sounds lame if you ask me...
Rewatching this film after a few years and I still like it as much as I used not an amazing film but a solid entry to the mutant universe, plus Hugh jackman’s in it
7/10
it was a good film overall and the storyline was really well presented. the plot was structured in a simple but interesting way and the acting was really good too.
Film #56 of 2021
Fun fact: a young boy went to the theaters to see this movie when it first came out. He was so taken by the beauty of it that he decided to pursue filmmaking. That man grew up to be Stanley Kubrick.

X-Men | 2000 | Bryan Singer
I was surprised by how much nostalgia I felt throughout the film, and the influence this film had is undeniable, but basically every aspect of it is a waste of potential. The casting choices are excellent and a lot of interesting arcs are set up but never delivered on, and the plot itself, a basic X-Men vs. Brotherhood of Mutants story sounds great on paper, and definitely had some good parts, but there wasn’t much substance. You could argue that a MARVEL film doesnt need much substance, but the problem here is that the fun stuff in between is not very good. It’s really outdated and drags on for a while, and there are some good aspects, but overall it’s just really bogged down by the outdated and sloppy direction and writing,
48/100
i know that wolverine’s sideburns are “comic book accurate” but did they consider the unsexy factor of them?? is it not enough to have a hot hugh jackman and leave him be??
Very dated, especially in today's climate of superhero over-saturation, but it's super nostalgic for me and definitely still holds up in most places. Most of these incarnations are THE X-Men in my head. Also cheesier than I remembered. But it's charming.
El comienzo de una de las sagas más populares en la historia de los superhéroes se daba de una manera fuerte y prometedora, en donde los efectos especiales -más siendo el año que corría- se destacan conjunto a las actuaciones, los momentos en los que se demostraba esta nueva faceta en el cine de superhéroes venía a demostrar una nueva fase en lo que eran las películas de acción con personajes "sobrenaturales" no sólo caracterizando sus cualidades sino abarcando también sus actitudes, sus vivencias y por sobre todo su psiquis.
