Rankings:

Superhero Moment
3/5

When the team works together to escape the Statue of Liberty, and blasts Sabretooth into oblivion.

Casting
4.5/5

Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman were such good casting choices that they reprised the roles throughout almost 10 more movies.

Costume
3/5

They opted to go with the black leather instead of the comic accurate yellow spandex.

Theme Song
3/5

Certainly not as good as the animated series, but really good.

Notes

This was a breath of fresh air at the time. After years of mostly Batman, and smaller, low-budget movies, the X-Men came along and ushered in a new generation of Marvel movies. Not perfect, but they lay the groundwork for the MCU.
