Wow. Where to begin. How about a little bit of history. The first X-Men movie wasn't perfect. Hell, it wasn't even anything special. But it was one of the first decent superhero/comic book movies. It paved the way for a brilliant sequel (one of few sequels that are actually better than the original), helped to launch Hugh Jackman into superstardom and it brought together two amazing actors in Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen.
