Mutants are not the ones mankind should fear.
By JediSi (301 reviews) from Kent , 26 Nov 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
There are mutants living in American communities, and nobody knows how and where they might use their strange and strong powers. U.S. Senator Robert Kelly wants to protect human citizens by passing legislation to require them to register with the government, but mutant Magneto, has other ideas. His plan is to let mutant Rogue absorb his magnetic powers in order to change many of the world leaders into mutants so that the Mutant Registration Act would not be passed.
X-Men is a very enjoyable film, with an intriguing script, quite good effects, shots and convincing performances, particularly Stewart and McKellen, but also Hugh Jackman and Anna Paquin as the outcast mutants Wolverine and Rogue.
The movie's only defect is the fact that it feels like the pilot of a TV series, half of it being spent to introduce all the characters and their respective powers. In all pretty good entertainment

(84)X-cellent... Excellsior!
By a customer , 01 Aug 2012Awesome film choice if your into the comic book film series, X-Men lands its self in good stead for the genre. The effects are a little poor in comparison with how technology has moved on in the past decade, but still a thoroughly enjoyable film. If you like Avengers Assemble, Thor, Spider man this is the film for you. Well worth a watch...plus watch out for the Stan Lee cameo this one is a little ambiguous!- Was this review helpful to you?

x-men review
By a customer , 07 Jul 2011The plot was transparent and predictable, the characterisation was non-existant and the dialogue was obviously written by people with learning difficulties. I loved this line 'His helmet is too strong' (at least it was something like that', or the truly awe-inspiring words of wisdom from Storm 'Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets by lightning, the same thing as everything else', i mean wow just wow, it thought it must have been taken from Nietzsche, Schiller, or at least Goethe. There is absolutely no dramatic tension throughout the entirety of this film as i didnt give a damn about any of the characters in fact i wanted Magneto and his bunch baddies to kick the hell out of all the wooden acting. In the end i found this film completely silly and there wasnt enough of Wolverine's mocking humour(even though it was never very funny in the 1st place) at the absurdity of it all. One last point is the rather crass attempt to to somehow use the Nazi oppression of the Jews as a backdrop to the human oppression of the mutants. If you do watch this film make sure you let your brain do other things.- Was this review helpful to you?
