    It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

    A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

    Yes, they adapted to the Fox Wolverine popularity and found a way to replace Cyclops as the teamleader. But the story, action and animation are really good. If you´re an older Xmen buff you will find a lot to appreciate here.

    This cartoon really isn't impressive and anybody who doesn't agree is a Wolverine fan. Wolverine AND HIS X-Men as I call it is all about Logan. I know he's popular but the whole point of a team is so that everyone get their own time in the spotlight. This show was all about "Wolverine" not the X-Men they are merely his lackeys. It's not impossible for Wolverine to become leader but the circumstances have to be right. Storm, Nightcrawler or even Beast would have been better at the job especially considering they have successfully fulfilled that role in the past.The overall plot was disappointing we were led on from episode 1 and only saw progress right before the season finale. Some characters simply just fell flat, Blob and Toad were empty shells of their former selves. These guys were never smart or powerful but you could get where they were coming from and what motivated their actions but in this series they were just numb skulls. Emma Frost was also disappointing. I know there were challenges making her character more appropriate for kids but she seemed to be pointless and boring whereas the Emma I'm used to is complex and intriguing. I expected that a team led by Logan would encounter more action but the fight sequences were mainly disappointing.Continuity was also screwed up. Forge was a kid/the tech guy and Kitty was acting like his babysitter on their mission. Here's an accomplished Native American Shaman and a veteran from the Vietnam war who needs the protection of a teenage girl. I wasn't aware X-Men were in the business of babysitting mutant babies. Mystique had this whole fabricated history to tie her in with Wolverine more than her kids Nightcrawler and Rogue. I realize the series tried to incorporate a multitude of x-characters which was noble but ultimately it fell short in the characterization dept.The only reason I gave this show 3 stars is because I enjoyed the Nightcrawler and Cyclops solo episodes, the season finale and a few scenes with Kitty and Rogue.

    The series did a fantastic new take on the Phoenix saga. New Phoenix story and it was not just the Phoenix, it was Magneto vs. humanity, Senator Kelly vs. Mutants, and bringing the X-Men back together. It keeps the same main characters that people love (or hate) then includes characters that normally don't get as much screen time in X-Men cartoons.Fantastic series and any X-Men fan worth his/her salt needs to at least see the series. It has potential to continue for several more seasons, each season taking a new view at well-known story lines. It has immense potential and it should continue beyond season one.

    When I first heard about this show, I was as you can guess, very excited and it did not fail to live up to expectations. The X-Men (who consists of Wolverine (duh), Cyclops, Storm, Forge, Iceman, Kitty, Beast, Rogue, Emma Frost, Jean Grey and Nightcrawler) are handled very well in terms of characterization. Sure, some things have obviously changed but this is good change. They have taken the X-Men in a totally different direction as compared to X-Men (TAS) and X-Men Evolution. Basically, Professor X is in some kind of coma but is also in the future, which at the time, is being dominated, by Sentinels and it is up to the X-Men (in the present) to stop that future from happening. Neat, huh? Wolverine and the X-Men, is in my opinion, a more-serious take on the X-Men. The stories are deeper and go in to explain some of the character's origins i.e. Cyclops which is always nice to see as opposed to the comics. The action sequences (if you can call them that) are good and certainly entertaining although I feel as if sometimes, they are a little repetitive if you know what I mean. I would say Magneto is the main villain throughout season one although they also have to battle the Brotherhood on more than one occasion and on those rare occasions, each other. Season two, however, will focus on Age of Apocalypse. I also hear Deadpool will be making an appearance.Although Wolverine and the X-Men, is undoubtedly entertaining and has its fair share of funny moments, I prefer X-Men (TAS), mainly because Wolverine was not in the spot-light all the time and the chemistry between characters was fantastic! I just love them. Scott is such a boy scout. I also think the Phoenix saga was in a way, handled better seeing as it lasted for longer. Nevertheless, Wolverine and the X-Men is still thoroughly entertaining and I cannot wait for season two. Watch it. You won't regret it! 8/10.
