Critics Consensus

Faithful to the comics and filled with action, X-Men brings a crowded slate of classic Marvel characters to the screen with a talented ensemble cast and surprisingly sharp narrative focus.

The X-Men comic books have spawned a cottage industry of mutant characters, and the movie helps make sense of these legions while offering the established fan base something new to cheer.

Exciting mainly because anything can happen and does, the movie drags a bit as it approaches a climax set on top of the Statue of Liberty. But once there it revives.

This is a film that should satisfy fans of the hugely popular comic book and audiences who can't tell one uncanny X-Man from another. Mutants rule.

4/5

It's impressive how much good casting can elevate an otherwise silly concept. Similarly, it's surprising how much more satisfying 104-minute movie can be, as it's not trying to break the storytelling mold.

Bryan Singer and company proved the impossible to be possible.

3/4

There are potent motives behind every character, and the actionized plot resembles a morality play more than typical good vs. evil superhero fluff.

Very good for a first in a franchise, with Wolverine as the sorta lead character

¡Buenísima! En lo personal, la primera trilogía de X-Men me parece increíble, teniendo en cuenta su época y los personajes. Todo en la película me hizo enamorarme del concepto mutante y querer ir a la escuela del profesor X, la única cosa que no me termina de gustar es que, a mi parecer, Jean Gray esta un poco mal adaptada, se me hace pesada e incómoda de ver. ¡Espero ver un reboot de esta saga pronto! Nada enamora más que una lucha de clases, en especial cuando la minoría es tan complicada como esta.

Definitely a bit dated. And seemingly ashamed of embracing the colorful origins of the X-Men. X-Men still manages to be a pretty good time! More importantly, this is the movie that made some of the most historic and PERFECT casting decisions. Setting the stage for a future with exciting possibilities.

While some of the dialogue feels phoned in, even for the 2000's, and the CGI looks clunky in some places, X-Men stays true to the comics in almost every way, and is definitely a good way to spend two hours when you are craving an action movie.

Great movie and a solid entry into the X-Men franchise. I liked the characters, villain, story, and much more. Not much to complain about.
