X-Men (2000)
Our top Marvel movie masterpiece – somewhat controversially – is X-Men. Taking Marvel’s most beloved and best known story and translating it to the big screen would have been a daunting task, and one that should be respected. We take it for granted now, but if films like X-Men weren’t done right, we might not be looking at new Thor and Avengers films in 2013/15.
Psychic Professor Xavier, played to perfection by Patrick Stewart led a school of skilled mutants called X-Men. And from this groundbreaking moment of comic book movies, we got Jackman as Wolverine, Ian McKellen as Magneto and Halle Berry as Storm.
It's difficult to look past these guys
With X-Men: Days of Future Past set for release in May 2013, X-Men’s influence is still felt, even 13 years after it was released in 2000. “The most beautiful, strange, and exciting comic-book movie since the original Batman,” said The New Yorker’s David Denby. Other critics agreed, which saw the film land on 82%.
