Consensus: The story is faithful to the comic books and, while the movie may be too Wolverine centered, it packs a freaky punch that is sure to excite the average summer moviegoer.

Reviews for X-Men
A superb cast and spotless direction from Bryan Singer make this one a summer must-see, and a film that goes right alongside the first Batman and Superman as genre bests.
08/07/08
As summer movies go, X-Men is remarkably crisp and economical.
03/12/08
Relative newcomer Hugh Jackman is a real find as the brooding Wolverine.
07/14/07
X-Men plays like a so-so middle chapter of an epic series rather than a fitting kickoff.
04/17/07
Top CriticApart from the brushed metal production design and pin-sharp camerawork, this offers only moderate excitement.
06/24/06
It's a rich, impressive comic-book fantasy.
05/27/06
What makes this film such a success is its seriousness on the subject of proper and improper responses to oppression, its unique and memorable characters, its cleverness and visual imagination, and its refusal to degenerate into a bloodbath.
01/15/05
Superior to any Batman except the 1989 movie.
06/26/04
Finally, a movie based on a comic book that actually succeeds.
12/30/03
I don't say this often, but bring on the sequel.
05/22/03
Call it a gift from cinema heaven.
05/14/03
Not as disturbingly dark as Batman, but yet it still has the hard gritty edge that keeps the audience riveted to the screen.
04/29/03
All these characters with their odd powers are inherently absurd and they throw a barrel of wrenches into the machinery of a coherent narrative.
04/25/03
Top CriticSinger was wise enough to keep the fight scenes silent instead of featuring the usual inane banter of most comic-book movies.

Entertaining and reasonably intelligent.
02/08/03
A rarity, a comic-book movie with a satisfying cinematic design and protagonists you want to watch.
01/16/03
Top CriticShould be the blueprint for all super-hero films to come.
