Cyclops : Okay. Crazy credits When the 20th Century Fox logo fades away, the X in the logo stays for a second longer before it also fades away. User reviews 1. Top review. A lot better than expected. After watching a lot of animated X-Men stuff, I thought that it was time to watch some live-action movies.
I'd heard rumours that the X-Men franchise was rather hit and miss. Well, this was a very solid start. Not everyone delivers a top performance, but I was so happy that my favorite characters delivered. Hugh Jackman does a relly good and charismatic job as the tough Wolverine coming from a place he doesn't even know himself. Their relationship is a highlight here. Magneto gets a lot of star power from the magnificent Ian McKellen and a well done take on his harsh past which leads him onto his dark path in life conflicting with his old friend Xavier who are also given a nice portrayal by Patrick Stuart.
The otherwise talented Halle Berry wasn't as convincing as Storm, I must admit. The booming persona I knew was shifted to a quite monotonous one, and her powers weren't to show before nearing the climax. James Marsden was a good choice as Cyclops, but was kind of the same case as Storm without real punch to the performance. But despite a few small bumps on the road, I enjoyed X-Men more than I had expected, because the story was actually really engaging when the focus was on the right elements like Wolverine and Rogue and how Magneto fulfills his plan.
It's not the usual superhero movie where action and special effects are the main focus, but more like a psychological drama with some hero elements. That makes it stand out among the crowd. But even though the special effects weren't the main focus they were awesome, hands down! It may be a movie from the year , but back then the effects weren't used as much as they are today, so when they were good they really rocked the screen.
I would recommend X-Men to people who like a well balanced movie with a well told story spiced up with the right amount of action and special effects. Animany94 Jun 11, FAQ Which characters were adapted from the X-Men comic books? What is 'X-Men' about? Is 'X-Men' based on a book? Details Edit.
