X-Men (2000)

Simon Kinberg directs this amazing classic, prepare to wonder at science as this films manages to revolutionise marvel movie making.

Born with extraordinary abilities in a world filled with fear, prejudice, and intolerance, the next link in the chain of human evolution, the X Men, will soon have to choose sides. As the telepathic mutant, Professor Charles Xavier, struggles to achieve a peaceful coexistence between the two species, hoping that the gifted students of his institute will use their powers for good, his old friend and super-human antagonist, Magneto, prepares for war. Now, Professor X's newest students, the teenage mutant, Rogue, and the body-regenerating, adamantium- infused Wolverine, find themselves caught in the middle of a violent confrontation.

I did feel this film leads well into the sequel, however the clever use of limited SGI technology used in the film manages to show how far film making has come.

The actors in this film perfectly execute the individual and clashing personalities of the characters and the conflicts of choosing friendship and doing what is right.

I loved this film and would recommend it to anyone who loves films like the Avengers or other Marvel films. It’s a timeless classic that I’m sure will live through many more generations.
