X-Men is absolutely THE BEST comic book to movie adaptation I have ever
seen!!!!! The Wolverine that we saw in the movie was so well played
that you could instantly tell(with some knowledge of the X-Men) that THAT
was Wolverine. The action scenes were really well played out and the
special effects were just eye-popping. The complexity of the
characters, especially Wolverine, was truly amazing. I would have
liked to see Gambit in the movie though...yeah, I know that practically
everyone has said that already . And maybe the producer should have
considered giving more lines to Mystique, she was so cool!!! As for
the "lukewarm" reviews that have been give to the movies, well,
the opinion is always different coming from a professional reviewer
judging costume, screenplay, cinematography, etc. and a childhood fan of
the X-Men who is just breathtaken to finally see her favorite heroes come
to life!!!!! Today is the 18th and I have already seen the movie
three times!!! I love it so much!!!!! And for all of you who
didn't like the movie, all I can tell you is that you don't understand!
And the others who say that the movie was not worth seeing at all, PLEASE,
don't try to catch people's attention by trashing a movie that people
adored, okay? Well, I'll finish now by saying that I look forward to
seeing all the actors again in the two sequels(YES, there will be two, the
actors have already signed on to them although work has yet to begin)
especially Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Patrick Stewart as Professor
Xavier. By the way, why aren't there any guys like Wolverine in real
life???

This movie was TOO GOOD. I saw it today and this is now my favorite movie.
I never read the comic at all, but had seen the animated series at a
younger age. This movie tops that by a million!! Hugh Jackman was an
absolutely wonderful actor. This was the first time I've heard of and seen
him, and he was FANTASTIC as Wolverine!!!! Before seeing this movie I
never really cared for Wolverine at all...but this movie changed my view!
I hope so badly that he returns in the sequel!!! Every actor played their
part greatly. I could feel the emotions being played out in every scene.
Anyone who hasn't seen this is missing out!! So stop reading my review and
go see it! :D (Personally I'm hoping for either Nightcrawler or Gambit in
the sequel....but we'll see!) Remember: The professional critic is not
always right!!!! :D Ok...I'll stop now before I rant too much..hehe

THIS IS MOVIE IS NOT WORTH SEEING AT ALL. When a movie doesn't catch
your attention from the begining, but drags on and on, it really looses
the person who is watching the movies's attention, right? So to tell
you the truth, I fell asleep on my friends sholder through out the movie.
IT WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT, not at all what an X-men movie should be
like!

I think the comic was done right by the movie. Very good casting.People in
theater were cheering when wolverine saved the day.I can't remember how
long it's been since I heard cheering at a movie.

Great movie. It's one of the best I've seen this year. And I kinda think
its sweat makes you wish rogue and wolverine had something goning on but
then again there would be no place for gambet

I think the fans were over expecting. But it can only get better, now they
have established a base and the only thing they can do now is grow and
plan to make a must bigger and better part II. Remember the budget was
only 75 Million Compared to Batman and Robins 150 Million. That's All

Where do I start? Oh yeah, it ROCKED! Jackman was a perfect Wolvie, I was
surprised how taken I was with Anna Paquin as Rogue, the pace was good,
McKellan was a convincing Magneto (despite being a rickity old man), and
Singer's attention to detail was incredible. Nothing got past this
guy. He even got the address of the X-Mansion right! It could have done w/
a few more cameos, and Storm could have had a few more lines. A sequel,
please, just keep the cast and director. The film left me begging for
Logan's back-story, even though I already know it (being a longtime fan of
the X-books). But let's find more out about Cyclops (Stephen Dorff as his
rowdy younger bro, Havok), see more of Jean and Storm, meet Beast and
Gambit. Sabretooth needs to make a comeback, natch, but should do more
than growl. He could be the key to Logan's past. Maybe the fall from Lady
Liberty knocked a bigger vocabulary into him. 'nuff said.

First off, I went in to this movie not knowing much at all about the
X-Men. In fact, I have only read one X-Men related comic book.
From what I remembered in that book, the characters on screen were very
close. Wolverine was fantastic; he had some great one liners.
Toad, I knew absolutely nothing about but Ray Park played him, making the
character pretty sweet. I appreciated the background of how and when
Magneto and Rogue found out about their powers; it shows how out of place
they felt afterwards. This was a good flick but a lot of the action
scenes were really choppy; there must have been a lot that was cut out.
The ending also perfectly led to a sequel, which I understand is already
in the making. I look forward to it!

This movie by far was the best movie I've ever seen. Wolverine was the
most hottest and coolest person, but sabortooth was sooo cool to. I've
watched X-men since I was a kid and I still love it. If they do make a
sequel hopefully they will have Gambit,Beast, and Jubilee, and Jugarnot.
For whoever who has not seen this I think you should, my cousin at first
did not know what the heck it was but after she loved it were planning on
seeing it agian. I will be thinking and talking about this movie for some
time and I think other fans will to. I love Gargoyles and X-men 4-ever!!!!

Great action/fight sequences. Some good character development. Could
have used more scenes with Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian
McKellan) because they were both excellent.

Fantastic fun if you are willing to shed your usual mature cynicism, and
tune in to your inner true child self. Of course there are million of
things that could have been done better or worse, yet the bottom line
remains a successful delivery of a sweeping fantasy, which is what the
x-men are all about, while generating a hefty income. Hail the American
way!

i think the movie was ok, i was expecting alot mor out of it maybe that is
why i have a bad attitude about it. the special effects were great, but
they could have went into more detail about all the mutants and how they
got their powers...i was expecting more of like a story type movie that
would go into some detail about the characters and their powers...kind of
like star wars. ps. the actor who played wolverine was a good actor, but i
think they needed someody that had more muscle mass. in the comics
wolverine was a short big guy, in the movie he was tall and the size of
cyclops.

I thought the movie was a complete success! I have been waiting for
an x-men movie since i began to read the comic book back in 1982. I felt
the characters were portrayed true to form and it had its funny moments.
Looking ofrward to the sequels to come!

I think X-Men the Movie was excellent; good acting, good storyline, and
the movie brought out the good in marval comics, and its good to see such
a good company doing well.

Fantastic adaptation of the comic. The casting was unbelievable. Wolverine
should become the action hero of the decade. The dialog could have been
zippier. Let's pray to God (or Magneto?)for a sequel.

I came out of this movie thinking of other things. There was nothing in
this film that hadn't been seen before. There was way too much of
wolverine.I found myself tiring of him. I have seen way too much of people
being hurled into walls in recent years (and it never seems to hurt them
mutant or not)...we needed mindboggling effects. "Perfect Storm"
will win for visual effects over this.

This is the best movie of the summer yet.I being a fan for 10 years loved
this movie.Brian Singer did a great job.The characters were great.They
stayed almost true to the comic and looked like them to especilly
