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.

Jami Bernard

New York Daily News

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.

Rated: 3/4

Chicago Reader

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.

Philadelphia Inquirer

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.

For the Win (USA Today)

It’s a tantalizing sample and a very solid time capsule for where the genre was at the turn of the millennium.

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 3/4

Esta pelicula salio hace 25 años! Claramente se nota en el departamente de efectos especiales y secuencias de acción pero sigue siendo una buena introducción, aunque lenta y tranquila, al mundo de los mutantes.

Good fun. Great introduction to the character of Wolverine and loads of interesting side characters. A 'small' story that created a fun, creative adventure and a great platform for further expansions of the saga
