Review Summary
Magneto is upset because humans are prejudiced against him and all mutants. He decides that instead of allowing the humans to repress him and all mutantkind, the humans must go. Not all mutants are up for the whole human extermination idea, but would rather coexist peacefully with them. Heading up the group of peace-loving mutants is Charles Xavier, head professor of a school for the gifted, which also fronts a secret mutant superhero club of X-men. The X-men fight Magneto and his gang of mutant thugs to prevent him from carrying out his plans to turn all humans into mutants.
sayruh, Resident Scholar

Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) joins the mutant X-Men to protect humanity against the twisted Magneto (Ian McKellan) and its own prejudice against mutants. Above average comic-book adventure with occasional witty dialogue and outstanding special effects.
Artemis, Resident Scholar

The X-men attempt to save a world that despises them because of their mutant powers. Great adaption of the Marvel comic.
Jedimindtrik, Resident Scholar

Mutants: the newest stage in human evolution gifted with powers that make them more powerful than normal humans. Trying to escape the persecution from humans while trying to form a better relationship with them, Professor Xavier, (Patrick Stewart) has created a school for mutants to come to and learn how to control their powers to benefit humanity and to fight a band of Mutants that want to conquer humanity and take over the world.
Jacob Knudsen, Resident Scholar
