Pros: great special effects & writing, no previous knowledge of the comic needed Cons: very violent, not for young children, though they may ask to see it
I was a sci-fi geekette in school; knew all of the details of every Star Trek episode, saw the first Star Wars 7 times, and watched Dr. Who religiously. One aspect of sci-fi that I never got into was the comic books. So while they guys I hung around ...
Pros: Intelligent action flick, good performances, effects Cons: Some uninteresting characters

Pros: great action, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, none of the villains died Cons: still not too sure about Halle Berry as Storm
I liked it. There I said it. I liked X-Men: the Movie. Being a comic book fan for over 20 years (oh wow, I can't believe it's been that long), I know the entire history of the X-Men, and they've been around even longer than I have. So it's hard ...
Pros: Good character development, casting, story, moral Cons: None I can think of
X-Men (2000)
The film opens with a faded color view of crowds of people being herded through a barbed wire enclosure under the nose of German machineguns, so you realize it is WWII. Then you see the stars sewn on the clothes and you realize...
Pros: Acting, action sequences Cons: Don't get to know characters, reminiscent of recent "Batman" films
I'm not familiar with the X-Men comics. Maybe I should familiarize myself with some of their illustrated adventures, for the "X-Men" movie doesn't really tell the tale of any of them. It just shows what they do, and it fails to explain how they...
Pros: Fine character work, good acting from Jackman, Stewart, McKellen Cons: A number of wasted characters, simple plot
Marvel's legendary superheroes sprung memorably to life this summer in one of the few blockbusters that succeeded more than it failed this year. It's taken years and years to get this film rolling, having to conquer no less a roadblock than the comic's...
Pros: Excellent casting and acting, special effects, action, and good story. Cons: Not everyone used enough, wanted a couple of more action scenes, soundtrack.
I have always been an X-men fan. I am not one that reads every comic book or watched everything on TV that had been put out before this movie. However I have read and seen enough of each to really enjoy the concept and the under-line message ...
Pros: Singer's Direction, The Central Story, Look, Special Effects, & Some of the Cast, notably Jackman. Cons: A Somewhat Weak Plot, Badly Written Characters, & Mediocre Performances.

Pros: Cool effects & cast. Cons: Leaves you hanging for part 2.
I will admit I have been an X-Men fan since they started the Saturday morning cartoon version. {Tells you how old I am...} Well when the movie came out my daughter and I were in the line for the first show here in Paso Robles Ca. We were so anxious,...
Pros: A good solid action movie featuring everyone's favorite mutant outcasts. True to the comic's spirit. Cons: A lot had to be cut or changed to fit the media of film.

When my brother and I were little boys, we were frequently sent packages of Marvel comics from Japan. We were amazed by the number of different comic characters that emerged from Marvel. These characters include Captain America, Spider Man, The...
Pros: Jackman's Wolverine carries the film with his brooding intensity Cons: Slow build-up; a predictable plot dampens the thrills
When I was a young lad, boys my age kept a stash of comic books under the bed; I, on the other hand, had thick novels by Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo and Alexander Dumas. I’ve always been drawn more to the adventures of past-century characters than the...
