Khaliel P Fox’s X-Men overcame years of rejected, too-expensive scripts and a difficult director search—Bryan Singer twice said no before accepting—to shoot in 1999 and kick-start modern superhero cinema. Set in 2005, it follows Rogue and Wolverine amid Senator Kelly’s mutant-registration push and Magneto’s countermove, while taking liberties (teen Rogue, younger Storm, a brute Sabretooth). Though some CGI has aged, set pieces like Magneto turning police weapons on their owners still impress. Cast largely from “second choices”—with a then-unknown Hugh Jackman hired just three weeks before filming—the ensemble clicked. Despite frustrations (Cyclops sidelined, all-black costumes), the film proved comics weren’t just for kids, paved the way for Spider-Man, and stands as a potent allegory for stigmatized minorities.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Amir A Yeah this movie is a banger I love the way the mutants use the powers specifically Storm. Minus the weakling that is Sabretooth, the rest of the villains are pretty strong and have their own time to shine. Magneto is an absolute menace and I cannot wait for what he has in store for the X-Men in the sequel. I actually quite like the black leather suits there’s something about them that are pleasant. And who could forget Hugh Jackman’s portrayal as Wolverine cos imo it’s the best he’s fantastic in this movie and truly embodies this character perfectly and the only one close that I can think of is Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. My only issue is that some of the effects are pretty noticeably bad and Storm’s one liner towards Toad I didn’t get but that’s my only negatives.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Gareth v It's could of been easy for this movie to get distracted with it's array of mutants, but it is well held together with a good story and sharp direction.
