Critic Reviews

Mr. Showbiz - Cody Clark

The best kind of summer blockbuster -- the kind that makes you immediately crave a sequel. Read full review

Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman

Balances brains, brawn and heart in ideal proportions. The actors - some first-rate, all enjoyable - never get overshadowed by the special effects, which dazzle us without gory excess. Read full review

Chicago Reader - Lisa Alspector

Exciting mainly because anything can happen and does, the movie drags a bit as it approaches a climax set atop the Statue of Liberty. Read full review

Baltimore Sun - Ann Hornaday

X-Men flies to the rescue with superheroes who have real substance. Read full review

Boston Globe - Jay Carr

Recedes to a string of mere action exploits. These are proficiently executed but, for all their visual authority, not much more than routine. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Steve Simels

Stylish, exciting and an occasionally poignant sci-fi adventure spectacle. Read full review

Washington Post - Stephen Hunter

Isn't juvenile, it isn't even infantile. It's prenatal! Read full review

This masterpiece is the movie that unleashed the superhero renaissance of the 2000s. As someone who enjoyed X-Men as a kid, I was super excited when I heard they were making a movie, and the movie was indeed worth it.

This film is amazing! The characters were awesome and the genetic code plot was very well crafted! Good choice of actors - it was good to see actors other than American ones at the top of the list. I think these films will grow on me, I can't wait for the next ones. Partly fascinating,This film is amazing! The characters were awesome and the genetic code plot was very well crafted! Good choice of actors - it was good to see actors other than American ones at the top of the list. I think these films will grow on me, I can't wait for the next ones. Partly fascinating, partly disturbing, partly funny, partly almost everything. Not to mention, Hugh Jackman is incredibly sexy as Wolverine. Damn.… Expand

Un reparto muy talentoso logró darle vida bastante bien a nuestros queridos XMEN. Como fan de los cómics no me decepcionaron para nada. El comienzo de algo grande.

The superior cast and well crafted dialogue doesn't quite quell the underwhelming feeling brought about by a story that should reflect the best of the comics, but instead is unfocused and flirts with mediocrity.

X-Men is a very solid super hero flick. Some criticism could be leveled in it's direction concerning a lack of depth, but everything has to start somewhere.
