This movie is a great action and Superhero movie.It doesn't have the best special effects,but the action is pretty good.Wolverine is my favorite X-Men because he is like a wolverine he is a monster all put together.Part man Part monster.Rouge has a cool power.But the Professor is kinda lame.All the other X-men are cool and unique.And over all it was an awesome movie.

A very good start to the new era of comic book movies. They collected a very good cast and brought them to the big screen in a huge way. I'm a huge fan of the X-Men and this film really did a good job bringing the amazing characters to life. I believe Hugh Jackman was perfect for Wolverine.

A great superhero movie. With great action and some okay effects the movie becomes a very well made, enjoyable film. Sometimes it became a little weird and boring but over all: Very good.

Awesome Movie - I loved every second of this mvoie. The Story was very interesting. The Comics of X-Men were always fantastic and to see them come into a movie it was very nice. They did a very good job :)

I loved this movie. It was a great way to start the series, and there are so many characters in the Marvel world that the sequels could go on forever.

  It's a rich, impressive comic-book fantasy -- easily the summer's best "blockbuster."

  The best kind of summer blockbuster -- the kind that makes you immediately crave a sequel.

  The film's strength and its entertainment lie in John Myhre's production design, its generally appealing cast...and, perhaps most importantly, a canny degree of self-parody.

  Balances brains, brawn and heart in ideal proportions. The actors - some first-rate, all enjoyable - never get overshadowed by the special effects, which dazzle us without gory excess.

  One of this year's most dazzling entertainments, not to mention one of the best comic-book movies ever made.

  Singer deftly crafts a sleek, unusually tight film that balances comic-book adventure, pulp opera and the fear of being different.

  While X-Men doesn't take your breath away wire-to-wire the way "The Matrix" did, it's an accomplished piece of work with considerable pulp watchability to it.

  Exciting mainly because anything can happen and does, the movie drags a bit as it approaches a climax set atop the Statue of Liberty.

  Doesn't match up against the new millennium martial artistry of "The Matrix," nor do the special effects - but he knows how to establish characters and relationships.
