- Stylish comicbook action movie that is one of the few to suggest that some intelligence is involved, though its attempt to find a connection between its mutants and the Jewish victims of the concentration camps is ill-judged.

  Popcorn movie!
  
  Just ok. Watched this after the prequel and the format seems to be the same. They have a format and that's what they are sticking to.

  Great First Attempt

  For people who have little to no insight of the X-Men comic book series, this film fills in a lot of the gaps with the possible exception of Wolverine.

  X Men
  
  Really enjoyed this film. First of all due to Hugh Jackman but also it is a good action movie. The scenery is excellent and it sends a real message out.

  Great Effects
  
  Saw it in the cinema when it came out and was blown away by the effects and was just as amazed this time on DVD. Highly recommended.

  X-Men
  
  An enjoyable movie with a reasonable storyline, plenty of action and good special effects.
  
  The sequel X-Men2 is slightly the better movie.
