"Are you a God-fearing man, Senator? That is such a strange phrase. I've always thought of God as a teacher; a bringer of light, wisdom, and understanding. You see, I think what you really are afraid of is me. - Magneto

Why watch this? The first X-Men film was action-packed and welcomed by hungry fans.

Plot Summary: In a world where mutants exist alongside humans but face prejudice, a young mutant named Rogue encounters the gruff, amnesiac mutant Wolverine. They are drawn into the conflict between Professor Charles Xavier's X-Men, who advocate for peaceful coexistence, and Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants, who believe in mutant supremacy. The film centers on these two groups as they clash over the future of mutant-kind.

Dad's Preview: When I read the press on this upcoming film, I was curious to see the actor they'd choose for Wolverine. In the comics, I never understood why folks loved him so much, but I am not a Marvel reader. Thanks to this film, I now understand, and Jackman plays him TO PERFECTION. This is a very good team origin story. We get to know each character, and the man who brings them together, Charles Xavier, portrayed by Star Trek: The Next Generation's Patrick Stewart.
