X-Men
After playing with the action figures way back when, and forming definite opinions about what X-Men should be like, I was very disappointed with the previews, posters, and reviews I saw when this movie first came out.
Well, I was finally talked into watching it, and the only thing I regret is that I waited so long to see it. It definitely lives up to requirements, and goes beyond. Sprinkled with only a little crude language, there is nothing really objectionable. The special effects are way overdone, which in this case is a good thing. The hero is a satisfyingly tough manly man, with an appropriately big teddy bear heart. The girls aren't gross, and the bad-guys are cool enough to pass. Plot line is great, and there is excellent character development.
Recommendable.
By the way: Cyclops is still my favorite, I still think Wolverine should wear that suit he does in the comic-books, and I still really hate Storm.

You hate Storm? I don't have an opinion of her either way, except she has one of the stupidest lines in movie history: "Do you know what happens to toads when they get struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else." *groan*
I can't wait to see X2 (and consequently, X3...)
I too hate Storm. (*sticks tounge at erin*)
but yeah, other than that I liked it.
I like storm. Both because Storm is cool and because Halle Berry is pretty.
:D xmen rocks! I liked Cyclops growing up too. But now i prefer Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Colossus, Gambit, and a few others...more than the modern Cyclops. i don't like the "new" cyclops very much. -seand
wolverine.... he's a fox... I... won't get into it.
seeya timmytom.
You should review X2...
Nightcrawler was cool! (Even though he was done by Alan Cumming, alias MR. ELTON!!! UGH!!!)
Ahem.
yeah, storm was kinda pathetic in the first one, but she got better
