i be introduce to the x men a a kid in the 1990s when i start see episode of the cartoon show . later and i start play an x men video game and and during my comic book phase and i do recall read some x men one . since then and the comic book series have be one of several to get the live action movie treatment at some point within the past ten year or so . i do not see too many film on the big screen back in 2000 and so i do not see this this first x men movie adaptation . i finally watch this about a year and a half after go to see it sequel and x2 and but i have now see it more than once and and it be good . in the near future and many mutate human exist . they be bear with a special x factor gene and which give each of them a certain superpower . unfortunately and these mutant be generally fear by the rest of humanity and even though many of them mean no harm . in the x mansion and where many good mutant live and professor charles xavier run a school for student with the special x factor gene and where they learn how to use their gift wisely . xavier dream of a society where mutant can live with the rest of humanity in peace . however and another mutant name eric lensherr ( a. k. a. magneto ) and who be once xavier friend and have different plan . he have a machine that can convert non mutated human and and he plan to speed up the process of human evolution with it . for some reason and one unbeknownst to anyone in the x mansion and magneto and his evil mutant be after either logan or rogue and two recent arrival at the mansion . comic book movie from recent year be generally not know to be flawless and so it no surprise that x men have some fairly weak moment . after the first scene and which be set in 1944 and and the story skip to the near future and where the rest of the movie take place and the film get pretty shaky and start with rogue in her room with her boyfriend and just before she discover her power . i would say the story really get good around the part when logan ( a. k. a. wolverine ) first find himself in the x mansion . after that and it doesn not stay completely steady for the rest of the film and but usually be pretty entertain and with a decent amount of action and suspense and as well a good special effect and some intriguing futuristic set and and occasional humour . i can not say too many of the cast performance here really stand out and but those of patrick stewart ( a xavier ) and ian mckellen ( a magneto ) and and hugh jackman ( a wolverine ) do . the script isn not perfect and but for the most part and it good than the hulk and catwoman script ( two very disappointing comic book movie ) and that for sure . here and there a mixture of strong and weak dialogue and acting . so and overall and this first x men movie do have it cheesy moment and but that certainly doesn not mean it have no entertainment value . now and some people strongly dislike these recent comic book movie blockbuster in general and and if youre one of them and i be sure say that this one have it cheesy moment be a gross understatement to you and if you have see it . however and if you do not like this kind of movie and it simple and do not watch it . for those whose interest be often capture by comic book movie like this and there may be some film of this kind which be best to avoid and most notably the more poorly receive one and but x men certainly isn not one of those and even if it not the best adaptation of a comic book series ever make .
