Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Platypuschow I remember loving the X-Men television show as a kid, this though not technically part of it certainly seems to have been made by the same people.A 1989 short film about the origins of Kitty Pryde it features all your favourite X-Men and villains but made me feel a little silly actually watching it.Part of me questions whether I'm remembering the old television series with ruby glasses or if this was just part of the shows evolution and not on the same level.Wolverine stands out as a particularly bad character, they clearly hadn't read the comics as he is by far the least likable and most annoying part of this short.In establishing Kitty Pryde (Who was never part of the television series) they don't do the character any favours but how possibly could you with a character so limited.I'd suggest even fans of the original series give this one a pass.The Good: Nostalgia The Bad: Wolverines voice is hilariously bad A lot of changes from the comics Things I Learnt From This Short: The original X-Men series might not have been as good as I remember I don't remember a dragon Wolverine is a deeply annoying Australian

sanddragon939 Had 'Pryde of the X-men' been made today, it would have been laughed out of TV screens! But as it is, it was made at a time when the X-men were virtually unknown outside of comics, before the movies, the highly successful and epic cartoon series of the 90's and the more recent series, X-men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-men. For a first attempt it did a fair job of introducing the X-men and the basic premise of their being mutant superheroes who defend humanity from evil mutant terrorists such as Magneto and his co-horts. But it was coupled with juvenile dialogue delivery and a pretty childish plot which certainly wouldn't hold up to today's sophistication (or hell, even the complexities of the X-men comics universe back then). I particularly disliked the characterization of Wolverine as a reckless thug with an over-the-top Australian accent. That apart, it was a pretty good first attempt at bringing the Children of the Atom to the small screen, where they have returned many times since, with far greater success.

spencer_jw OK, first of all, it could have been a good show, just was never picked up.They picked a pretty good team, although I would have done Cyclops, Ice-man and or angel, Storm, Wolverine, and Colossus (plus kitty) But: Dazzler was never really an X-Men when Kitty joined. Magneto was not the leader of the Brotherhood at that time, it was Mystique, and the brotherhood was Mystique, toad, Pyro, Blob, Avalanche, and Destiny. It was still pretty good though.

kabarclay_2000 I saw this one not long after the 1992 series started. My husband and I were as caught up in the series as my 3 year old son was! This pilot (or whatever) was a good start and the series just made it better. It was a much better series than what is on now. I think the 1992 series was a faithful adaptation of the comics. The only thing I saw that was off with this film was that Wolverine had an Aussie accent, when any X-Men fan knows that he's Canadian...LOL!
