C H First, all in all, this is a good movie. I felt that the parallel to civil rights through a new medium that kids could understand better was powerful. The movie had a purpose and executed it well. On top of this, the movie was definitely enjoyable. Jackman, Stewart, and McKellan played fantastic roles, although the rest of the X-Men felt somewhat under utilized to me. To be honest, the first issue I have is with the rest of the brotherhood. Mystique’s CGI could have been better, Sabretooth is a shallow and useless character, and Toad felt completely disturbing and had poorly delivered lines, which I felt hurt the movie the most. That said, the relationship between Logan and Rogue is touching, Charles Xavier simply as a character contributes greatly to the film, and it felt very much like a comic book had been taken onto the big screen. The movie was well written, directed and acted, it simply wasn’t extraordinary in any of these categories either. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Recneps . A great starting point for Marvel movies on the big screen (yes, Blade came first, but this movie is better). It hasn't aged well and later movies expanded on it greatly, but it's iconic for a reason. So many things were done right that I can excuse the standard, mediocre plot, comic inaccuracies (yes, Scott, I WOULD prefer yellow spandex), and some of the writing being awful...you know which amphibian-related line I'm talking about. Overall, it's important to watch as a piece of history and a fun time, but is a fairly middle-of-the-road entry in the franchise Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review CaptainBoulder T Good orgin story for the xmen Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Garrett B Wolverine was only character I enjoyed. They made it weird on purpose, maybe to be unique. Modern superhero movies are more entertaining. Would rewatch just for wolverine superfan things, thats about it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review 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 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review Jorge R I really enjoyed X-Men. But if mutants were real, this is the world where we will be living in!
