First enstallment of a much loved comic book series.This movie focuses on origin of the x-men team and there first mission with 'wolverine',a mutant with 6inch claws that breach the skin through his knuckles. An excellent starting block this movie setting up the characters for their future movies. not very heavy on the effects but thats only due to the extent of story they have to work through. a wholesome movie. nice starting point.
