X-Men is the first in the series of major X-Men films and it presents a strong start pitting good mutants Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Storm, Professor X and Wolverine against bad mutants Sabretooth, Toad, Mystique, and Magneto. Caught in the center is Rogue, who meets Wolverine but then is subsequently captured and used by Magneto for his own plan to end the threat humans pose to mutantkind. Director Bryan Singer introduces the characters and their abilities with some style and skill in this first try, and it's a fun movie, if a little clunky at times. See who you think steals the show, and watch for cameos by other characters who just pass through.

Trivia: In the beginning when the 20th century fox logo is fading the 'X' stays on just a bit longer.

Chosen answer: It comes down to the simple fact that Halle Berry can't do accents worth squat. Storm comes from Kenya, so Berry is attempting some form of Kenyan accent in this first movie, but even here it is uneven and inconsistent. The decision was apparently made in 2 and 3 not to use the accent at all.
