Amazon.co.uk Review

Although the superhero comic book has been a duopoly since the early 1960s, only DC's flagship characters, Superman and Batman (who originated in the late 1930s) have established themselves as big-screen franchises. Until now--this is the first runaway hit film version of the alternative superhero X-Men universe created for Marvel Comics by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and others. It's a rare comic-book movie that doesn't fall over its cape introducing all the characters, and this is the exception. X-Men drops us into a world that is closer to our own than Batman's Gotham City, but it's still home to super-powered goodies and baddies. Opening in high seriousness with paranormal activity in a WW2 concentration camp and a senatorial inquiry into the growing "mutant problem", Bryan Singer's film sets up a complex background with economy and establishes vivid, strange characters well before we get to the fun. There's Halle Berry flying and summoning snowstorms, James Marsden zapping people with his "optic beams", Rebecca Romijn-Stamos shape-shifting her blue naked form, and Ray Park lashing out with his Toad-tongue. The big conflict is between Patrick Stewart's Professor X and Ian McKellen's Magneto, super-powerful mutants who disagree about their relationship with ordinary humans, but the characters we're meant to identify with are Hugh Jackman's Wolverine (who has retractable claws and amnesia), and Anna Paquin's Rogue (who sucks the life and superpowers out of anyone she touches). The plot has to do with a big gizmo that will wreak havoc at a gathering of world leaders, but the film is more interested in setting up a tangle of bizarre relationships between even more bizarre people, with solid pros such as Stewart and McKellen relishing their sly dialogue and the newcomers strutting their stuff in cool leather outfits. There are in-jokes enough to keep comics' fans engaged, but it feels more like a science fiction movie than a superhero picture. --Kim Newman

5.0 out of 5 stars Sombre super hero stuff., 4 April 2002
This review is from: X-Men [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
X-men is very enjoyable film. Great care has gone into presenting the comic book world in way that is almost realistic. Though the film lacks any truly great action sequences the film more than makes up for it with brillant characterisation. Hugh Jackmans portrayal of Wolverine is especially good.

I found the relationship between Rogue and Wolverine very heart warming. There is no reason to dislike this film or DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars The beginning, 15 July 2009

This review is from: X-Men [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Pretty good movie, it looks great on Blu Ray (as you'd expect). Well worth a watch again once you've gone through the whole saga (up to Wolverine: Origins). Some techy guy's already gone through the spec so I'll just say this; I think the movie hinges on good all-round performances (especially Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen) the rest is a feast for the eyes and a prelude to better things.X-Men [Blu-ray] [2000]

4.0 out of 5 stars This will not disappoint X-Men fans!, 15 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: X-Men [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
I used to read the X-Men comics when they first came out (yes, I am that old!). I saw the cartoons a few years ago which brought back memories. When I heard that a film of the X-Men had come out I just had to buy the DVD.

I loved it! But where was Iceman (my favourite character from the comics) and the Beast? Hopefully, the brief intro of the lad with icey powers in the film means Iceman will be in the sequels.

Patrick Stewart was perfect for Professor Xavier and I can't think of anyone else who could have played him, but Ian McKellern, although he portrayed the madness and evil of Magneto very well, is just too small. Magneto in the comics was a big guy. Wolverine (not from the old comics, but seen in the cartoons) was perfect with just the right amount of rebelliousness. Even Cyclops was okay. He was always a serious-minded guy.

Special effects were great. Plot was not so good, but who cares. I am sure that the characters and the plots will develope in the sequels. I just hope it doesn't go the same way as the Batman or Superman series and degenerate into self-parody. Keep the plots nice and dark and the characters flawed as they were in the old comics!
