8.7/10. The movie that kicked off Marvel's success in the 2000's.
X-Men is the first in the series of major X-Men films and it presents a strong start pitting good mutants Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Storm, Professor X and Wolverine against bad mutants Sabretooth, Toad, Mystique, and Magneto. Caught in the center is Rogue, who meets Wolverine but then is subsequently captured and used by Magneto for his own plan to end the threat humans pose to mutantkind. Director Bryan Singer introduces the characters and their abilities with some style and skill in this first try, and it's a fun movie, if a little clunky at times. See who you think steals the show, and watch for cameos by other characters who just pass through.

Trivia: In the beginning when the 20th century fox logo is fading the 'X' stays on just a bit longer.
Question: Something I never completely understood about the ending. When we see senator Kelly on the TV at the end, we realize that it is actually mystique in disguise. But when the X-men told magneto that Kelly was dead.he didn't believe them. And since Kelly vaporized into water, there would be no body or any proof that he was dead. So wasn't mystique worried that she might come into contact with the real Kelly at some point?
Chosen answer: You are working under the assumption that Mystique would not believe this either. However, with Magneto in prison and no sign of the senator she could happily take on his identity. Also, even if Kelly was alive, after she gave a press statement backing mutants, it would be unlikely that a politician would change his mind so suddenly again and he would therefore not come clean that it was not him.
Scrappy
