Critics Consensus

Faithful to the comics and filled with action, X-Men brings a crowded slate of classic Marvel characters to the screen with a talented ensemble cast and surprisingly sharp narrative focus.

3/4

The X-Men comic books have spawned a cottage industry of mutant characters, and the movie helps make sense of these legions while offering the established fan base something new to cheer.

Exciting mainly because anything can happen and does, the movie drags a bit as it approaches a climax set on top of the Statue of Liberty. But once there it revives.

3/4

This is a film that should satisfy fans of the hugely popular comic book and audiences who can't tell one uncanny X-Man from another. Mutants rule.

4/5

It's impressive how much good casting can elevate an otherwise silly concept. Similarly, it's surprising how much more satisfying 104-minute movie can be, as it's not trying to break the storytelling mold.

3/4

There are potent motives behind every character, and the actionized plot resembles a morality play more than typical good vs. evil superhero fluff.

It's ridiculous, just like the hqs, and I liked it. Despite hating the X-Men for no reason at all it was enjoyable and really a trip to the past for the 2000's movie styles.

Entertaining and well written The conflicts were great, Wolverine nowadays is perfect but it didn’t seem as good I guess since Hugh just started The overall story was fun and made sense The reason I didn’t give this movie over 4 stars is because the main of art in movies is the feeling you get from them For the most part it was a good feeling, but the whole icy dark feeling they had going on was not like Wolverine X-Men origins where it’s amazing To tell the truth, I think this is a good movie and 4 stars worthy, I would recommend it to X-Men fans It was also comic accurate to my knowledge and no-one looks silly 4 solid stars, liked it
