X-Men introduces a world where mutants are feared by humanity because of their extraordinary powers. When Wolverine and Rogue are drawn into the conflict between Professor Xavier’s X-Men and Magneto’s Brotherhood, they become part of a battle over the future of mutantkind. Based on Marvel’s iconic comic team, the film helped launch the modern superhero movie era.
X-Men feels modest compared with modern superhero blockbusters, but its importance cannot be overstated. It proved that comic-book teams could work on screen and gave audiences a grounded entry point into mutant mythology. Hugh Jackman instantly became Wolverine, Patrick Stewart was perfect as Xavier and Ian McKellen gave Magneto real dignity and menace. It may look small now, but without this film the superhero boom would have looked very different.
