About this movie

In the near future, "mutants" are the next link in the chain of evolution. Each are born with a genetic mutation that manifests into extraordinary powers. Under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), the world's most powerful telepath, these "gifted" students have learned to control and direct their respective powers for the greater good of mankind. But when the Professor's former colleague and friend, Erik Lehnsherr a.k.a. Magneto (Ian McKellen) wages war against them and society, Xavier brings together a special group of mutants called "X-Men" to protect the world that fears them.

Ratings and reviews

Unlike the the others in the franchise, X-Men 1 managed to make all the major characters have an equal share of either screen time or being part of the story. There are some exceptions with some characters having more of a role in the story more than the others like Rogue, Wolverine, Professor X, Jean Grey and Magneto, but compared to the later films, this one didn't do it to bad. Great story also.

This is an excellent superhero movie! Hugh Jackman kicks butt as Wolverine! This Sabretooth looks better than the one in X-Men Origins: Wolverine! Great action, great plot, my favorite X-Men film

This film is indeed a great movie if you like marvel you will like x men
