Reviews for X-Men
Entertaining and reasonably intelligent.

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

Somebody, at least, made sure that a movie based on a comic book wasn't a comic book on screen, but instead, thankfully, just a really good movie.
12/08/02
X-Men is a well-cast, franchise-primed assault, executed with subtle precision by director Bryan Singer.

After seeing this film, I am looking forward to seeing more from this sleek new breed of action hero.

A kick *** flicks that does justice to its comic book inspiration, a wild ride that has a much brains as it has thrills, and easily the best damn movie of the summer.

It's a model of discipline in that respect.

X-Men delivers the goods.

It’s obvious there’s enough material here for several movies.
08/02/02
It does right by its source material without dumbfounding people who have never set foot in a comic book shop.

Ao decidir acrescentar toques dramáticos ao seu filme, Bryan Singer elevou 'X-Men' a um nível superior a outras produções do gênero.
05/31/02
Surprising subtlety, complexity, and human interest; deserves to be taken seriously.
05/08/02
A sci-fi thriller that taps into the reservoir of feelings we have about diversity, tolerance and exclusivity.
03/16/02
Overall I was impressed by Singer's attention to detail.
11/03/01
A distinctively absorbing entertainment, offering just enough popcorn thrills for mass audiences and just enough chewiness for hardcore sci-fi fans.
08/08/01
These days, with technology being what it is, we really shouldn't be as willing to forgive slapdash storytelling in the face of amazing visuals,
