In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Jubilation 'Jubilee' Lee is hunted by a Sentinel after her foster parents sign her up to the Mutant Control Agency. She is rescued by the X-Men; Wolverine, Beast, Cyclops, Professor Charles Xavier, Rogue, Jean Grey, Gambit, Storm, and Morph. Professor X advocates the harmonious coexistence between mutants and the regular human population. He is opposed by others in both human and mutant world. The world extends beyond the earth into space and time.I remember watching the first season on Saturday mornings back in the day. I don't remember watching the following seasons. At the time, I found it compelling to lose a main character right from the start. It's done more often nowadays. I did binge watch the rest on Netflix. This is definitely one of the best of 90's Saturday morning cartoons. The second season has Professor Xavier paired up with Magneto in a side adventure. It would be more compelling to have Xavier stay with his X-Men to build up their relationship chemistry. Overall, this ranks as upper level of the cartoons of its era.

Having reviewed every cinematic adaptation of the uncanny team, I though that "Waite what about the original animated series on Fox?". So to start this series is easily in the top ten of the most beloved superhero series even more than twenty years afters its opening in 1992, wait(!) Am I writing about an animated series that is on reruns since the turn of the new millennium? Wow I feel old! So X-men(1992) was my first encounter with the mutants and their adventures, the issues that they faces and why the team is the way it is. What I loved even to this day is the designs of the character, those colorful suits ,which 1. make it easy to distinguish for instance Cyclops from Beast and 2. show looks awesome and I wish some day to see something like that on the big screen. For real this has been sixteen years ,nine movies and two incarnations of the major players of the mutant group and the most only suit that look some like the ones from the series and comic are the ones from First Class and Deadpool.Another nice thing is that the mutants under the command of the main adversary(not enemy) of X-men, Magneto aren't evil for evil sake, but the society treatment of each and every one made them like that. In simple words they act in evil ways because this is the only thing they ever took from the regular humans. For that reason ,though I don't condole with their approach ,I get the why of the situation. Also no one can forget the amazing story-lines that the series adapted from the mythology of the team up to that point in time, from the Phoenix saga, the Age of Apocalypse, Slave Island and Days of Future Past just to name a few of them. And in some cases this adaptations were better than their feature film counterpart ,I am looking at you X-men Origins and Last Stand! And the opening theme, how could I not mention this amazing theme, what every fan of the series has memorized. Hell you can't say you are fan of the X-men if you don't know this song, period!!!!If you are a fan of the X-men this is for you and me the same as the Jesus of Najaret of the religious guys: The basis with what anything related with the subject you love is compared. And now let's get dangerous, what I don't like with the series.1) The animation is a bit stiff compared with modern-day animated projects. 2) At times the series is to much a product of its time, which means that some quotes at the nineties worked now sound dated and over the top.3)...The audience that is so devout to this series that like to shot out of the sky the feature film adaptations. But that is more a problem with the angry nerds and not with the series per say.Over all if you want your kids to get in to the X-men then show them this series and if you have the time watch it with them, in the age of the internet everyone can and usually relive his childhood by watching something this series.

X-men one of the many shows I remember watching as a kid on TV and on VHS.Marvel comics has been known for their many characters and X-men is one of them.The X-men team contain Cyclops (voiced by Norm Spencer) Wolverine (voiced by Cathal J Dodd) Rogue (Voiced by Lenore Zann) Storm (Voiced by Iona Morris then later by Alison Sealy-Smith) Beast (Voiced by George Buza) Gambit (Voiced by Chris Potter) Jubilee (voiced by Alyson Court), Jean Grey (Voiced by Catherine Disher) Professor X (Voiced by Cedric Smith)They fight for Human mutant peace while their enemy The Brotherhood lead by Magneto (voiced by David Hemblen) fight to ruin their plans.What makes the show a classic is the strong character developments the producers and writers took the time to stay true to the characters of X-men which is a plus for any fan and for those who enjoy comic books.The animation for each episode really dark and a lot attention to detail. The show's animation style fits the story line of the series which is important for any animation show.The voice acting is pretty good and you can feel the emotions of each character. They made some wise choices with the actors they pick to voiced the characters.The writers for the show were very wise for the show and the writing is very intelligent for kids and adults. X-men The Animated Series is one of the best cartoons ever made and one of the few that gives justice to the comic book it's based on.If you're a fan of X-Men you will enjoy this classic series for it's strong characters, animation style to tell the story and smart writing

The 1990s were a great time for cartoon adaptations of comic books superheroes, such as Spider-man, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Fantastic Four and Batman. And X-Men was the best of them all. Here is an adaptation which that explores every theme that made the comics great.X-Men is about a group of mutants led by Charles Xavier. Xavier's dream is for mutants and human to live together in peace. But there are many factors that oppose this dream, from Magento, Xavier's old friend, who thinks a war between the sides of humanity, Mr. Sinister, a mutant who want to genetically enhance mutants, the Sentials, powerful robots programmed to kill mutants, the Friends of Humanity, a group of anti-Mutant extremists and the all powerful Apocalypse just to name a few. Many of the villains get to show their ideology that drives them, which makes X-Men so much better then most superheroes and I why I think they are the best.Within the series they is many different plots, some having massive arcs like the Phoenix storyline to stand alone episodes. Many of the characters get to shine, from Wolverine with his tortured background and rage, Gambit as a theft, Rogue with the inability to touch and suffers horrible memories, to Beast's intelligent, etc… Many elements and story lines from the comics are brought into the series such as Days of the Future Past and the Dark Phoenix. Many of the mutants from the comics even get to play supporting roles or have cameos, e.g. Angel, Nightcrawler and Psylocke.They is good animation, excellent storytelling and writing, strong character development and lots of action to satisfy fans. The series use all the sci-elements available and even some of Marvel's other character have brief cameos.I only have 2 small criticisms of the series. First is Xavier's school focuses on the adult members, and only has one student, when for the most time there are a number of students of all ages living at the school. My other criticism is the limits that were set on the violence, this was because of the American censors limits on many American cartoons at the time. They were no deaths or even guns shots or punching. Wolverine only gets to slide and dice robots and not people.It's a very enjoyable cartoon for both purists who even hated the Singer films, and to outsides of the comic books. Great cartoon series.
