-Hugh
Jackman
-Halle
Berry
Based
on
the
long-running
Marvel
comic
book
series,
X-MEN
takes
place
in
the
near
future,
as
certain
humans
are
evolving
into
mutants
with
special
powers.
In
the
Canadian
wilderness,
a
young
runaway
mutant
named
Rogue
(Anna
Paquin)
and
Wolverine
(Hugh
Jackman),
a
bad-tempered,
quick-healing
mutant
with
retractable
metal
claws,
are
suddenly
attacked
by
the
powerful
Magneto
(Ian
McKellen)
and
his
lackeys.
Fortunately,
Cyclops
(James
Marsden)
and
Storm
(Halle
Berry),
students
of
the
compassionate
Professor
Charles
Xavier
(Patrick
Stewart),
interfere
and
bring
them
back
to
Xavier's
School
for
Gifted
Youngsters.
Here
Wolverine
and
Rogue
learn
more
about
the
conflict
between
Xavier
and
the
militant
Magneto,
who
wants
to
power
a
device
that
will
genetically
alter
humans,
with
possibly
deadly
results.
Only
Xavier's
students
can
stop
Magneto's
plans.
Director
Bryan
Singer
(THE
USUAL
SUSPECTS)
displays
his
expertise
with
an
ensemble
cast,
accomplishing
a
feat
by
making
the
first
live-action
film
about
an
entire
group
of
superheroes.
Hugh
Jackman's
portrayal
of
the
ill-tempered
Wolverine
is
dead-on,
while
Patrick
Stewart
and
Ian
McKellen
are
ideally
matched
in
their
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr.-
and
Malcolm
X-like
roles.
Smart
and
well-paced,
X-MEN
towers
above
most
comic
book
movies.
