Premise
In the first of the Bryan Singer trilogy, Wolverine is recruited by Professor X.
Thoughts
Don't remember much, except that I liked it a lot, thanks to great casting, from Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Hugh Jackman's breakout role as Wolverine, and Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto. The writing was pretty smart and entertaining, considering it was an origins story for multiple characters. Surprisingly, it was very Wolverine-centric, which was a good decision, because his character is popular and cool. Obviously, this was great for Jackman's career. However, it did put other characters in the back-burner.
