ThiefHott Too much of everything

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

DCfan This movie is about a young girl by the name of Rouge who first discovers her powers after taking a dose of her boyfriends energy. She is then taken to some fight club where she meets logan and then later on Professor X recutes her as an X-men member.This is a very good movie as it was the beginning of Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stuarts careers as Logan and Charles Xavier.The acting was good and so was the camera angles and movements.If you like the X-men comics then you will enjoy this movie

paulclaassen Very classy sci-fi fantasy with an exceptional cast, good music and all-round fantastic production. Very entertaining indeed!

Pjtaylor-96-138044 While 'X-men (2000)' can be lacking in action and its age is starting to show in a couple of areas, this pioneer of the genre is still an entertaining experience with great character moments. It's at its sharpest when exploring themes of civil rights, those that were at the heart of the series since its inception, and the thematic elements can be surprisingly dark; I don't think anyone expected this big budget blockbuster to begin in a concentration camp. The film is a solid start to what would become a major franchise and it's easy to forget what a monumental task it had. Setting up its fantastical but grounded world and characters while making them digestible for a wide audience is no mean feat and the fact it pulls it off so effortlessly is commendable. Its fantastic casting helped, with most of the main cast sticking around for over ten years. While the series did get better - though it also got much worse, this feature is an enjoyable and engaging one from start to finish. 7/10

Brandin Lindsey X-Men is a 2000 film based on Marvel's X-Men comic book series. The plot follows a drifter named Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, who is soon introduced to a young woman, nicknamed Rogue. Wolverine quickly realizes why the girl wants to stay with him: they are both mutants, or people who are born with supernatural abilities. The misfit duo's genes soon bring them in the middle of a clash between two organized mutant groups: Charles Xavier, played by Patrick Stewart, and his mutant X-Men against Magneto, played by Ian McKellen, and his Brotherhood of Mutants. Action and heroism follow that lead to an epic battle of mutant against mutant.The film takes many liberties from the comic books, but it seems to work well in this setting. The movie has all the action and fun you'd expect from the X-Men, including a smug Cyclops, the rebellious and awesome Wolverine, and an interesting cast choice of Halle Berry as Storm. The special effects are good, the movie keeps an exciting pace, and the story is interesting.The problems with this movie mainly consist with the poor dialogue. This is the part of a comic book movie that needs to be the least like a comic book. Corny one-liners, puns, and melodramatic dialogue take away from the seriousness established in the conflict. Some of the fighting scenes are a little silly, especially the ones including the shape-shifting mutant, Mystique. My final complaint, which I make in hesitation, was the way some of the plot devices were handled. I cannot elaborate too much on this without giving anything away, but one example I can make is the villain's cliché "doomsday" weapon. Where did it come from? How does it work? It's just there to be there, to be the conflict and the problem that has to be addressed.Despite these flaws, the film is still entertaining and enjoyable. Action-packed and full of your favorite characters from the comics, this movie is mostly for the fans. Outsiders are in for a corny ride that the action may not justify.
