X-Men is without doubt what Star Wars was to older generations in the 1980s. With the new age of digital fx, the concept of X-Men puts into film what most of us as kids used to wonder what would happen if the cartoons would be reality. The film brings us a step closer to the dream with stunning realism in visual fx, and excellent sound fx (especially the part where Xavier uses his telepathic powers to guide Wolverine to his study) which make watching this film in the cinema worth every penny you spend. From the beginning of the film, I felt a sense of involvement, most probably because I used to watch the X-Men cartoon on TV. If you used to be a fan of the cartoon you will appreciate the film wholeheartedly mainly because you will understand that the X-Men story cannot be squeezed into 2hrs worth of film. The film grabbed my attention throughout and had me wanting more by the time it ended. If you expect a film with an ending, you will be disappointed, for this is the beginning of something big. The potential for future storylines with the likes of Wolverine, Cyclops, Sabretooth are endless and still we have not been introduced to other X-Men that feature in the comics such as Beast, Gambit and enemies such as Juggernaut. Watch it because it is merely the first chapter of what could be the greatest movie novel of this decade.
