Given what X-Men as a franchise is about, "Trust a few, fear the rest" has big "they're some of the good one vibes. Weird choice for a tagline.

When I saw it, I felt it was the first time that a superhero movie took itself seriously enough to have a good actors, a good script, and good effects. It put what had been in my head up on the screen, and in a way surpassed it.

Batman was a very good movie, but done in an extremely cartoony way. Nicholson's Joker was fantastic, but goofy. The X-Men took great pains to ground Magneto in the Holocaust.

Michael Keaton was a comedy actor and a weird choice. He was great but not a consensus at the time.

It was better than the first Punisher (1989) and Captain America (1990).
I disliked the leathers, but after seeing Captain America's rubber suit i understood it.

Captain Picard was great!
