Reaction: Excellent numbers for this franchise starting film. We at the studio are very excited about the current prospects for future X-Men related films, as well as the future slate of our Marvel Universe. Hopefully numbers like this can continue.
"The difficulty with a film about a superhero team is that some of the heroes end up falling by the way side for various reasons. While this film does a decent job of giving its characters interesting moments, there are just so many plot lines to follow that it isn't always the easiest film to keep up with." - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"It was definitely nice to see an X-Men film that is actually about the team ensemble rather than simply following the character of Wolverine for the umpteenth time. Most of the characters get a chance in the spotlight to shine, in large part thanks to the X-team being a smaller unit than compared to the previous Fox-produced films." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
"Writer Dwight Gallo isn't known for action films, but the action sequences are among the highlights of this blockbuster superhero film. The action is well choreographed and you don't lose track of the fights, which end up being exciting and creative in their usage of the various superpowers." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune

Rated PG-13 intense sequences of superhero action violence and some language.
