It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I might be the only odd one in the reviews but how is this show so popular? The characters a de-aged but Wolverine, Storm and Professor X are still adults they attend two schools instead of one, Scott constantly stalks Jean in the first episode he was about to use his powers to destroy the door because she wasn't hurrying up. Speaking of Jean why is she supposed to be the popular girl in school and why does Blob have a crush on her. This is the same problem with Lance and Kity. No offense to Canada but why are they bad at making Marvel shows nowadays like Spiderman unlimited, Fantastic Four worlds greatest heroes and Iron Man armored adventures (Which is not that bad but still bad).My conclusion 3/10 Watch X-Men 1992 and Wolverine and The X-men instead. Trust me you will be glad that you did and avoid this craphole.

This series is awful and I can't believe how many good reviews it has gotten. Many on IMDb seem to assume that haters of X-Men Evo dislike it because it changed precious characters from their established canon personalities. Now, I have no problem with the re-imagining of characters for a fresh perspective. What bothers me to no end is HOW they were transformed and written. These were complex, interesting, fleshed out characters in the comics and other mediums, and they have been reduced to the worst stereotypes possible in this animated series. This series was meant to appeal to a younger generation and introduce them to X-Men and the creators seem to think that the only way to do that is by dishing out shallow clichés. Do they honestly think that that is the only way they can relate to younger folk? Do they believe that the younger set cannot understand, empathize or develop interest in characters that aren't formulaic embodiments of every bad cliché associated with social groups like 'goth', 'prep', 'jock', 'the weird foreign students', 'valley girl', etc.? The choices made in developing this show and its characters are nothing short of patronizing to a younger generation who are clearly given less credit than they deserve. They have to endure these unimaginative, one dimensional characters that are an embarrassment to the X-Men franchise. One can only hope they will discover the true depth and richness of the X-Men universe through other mediums.Not all the characters suffered this sorry fate (e.g. Professor X, who was fine for the most part). There were a few teenage characters who were also fun, though none of them were main characters. However, this characterization of Kitty Pryde was exceptionally annoying. Aside from the fact that the writers seem to have crafted her straight out of a 'How to be a Valley Girl' manual for dummies, her introductory episode was so grating that I nearly stopped watching the series immediately. Stupidly, I did not, and had to endure Rogue's introductory episode as well. The fact that she was a mall goth (a poor choice in itself) was not as bad as the fact that she wasn't even a proper goth (as anyone who has ever been around goth culture - even as a spectator - can attest). She was simply a cardboard cutout based on what most mainstream adults think teenage goths must be. I was never a goth myself but knew a few when I was growing up, and all of them would be embarrassed to have their sub-culture misrepresented in such a superficial and foolish way. It's like the creators decided they needed a token angsty, emo teenager, and so, by default, had to make her a goth, as that was the only bad teenage cliché that fit the bill. Now, if the creators were set on making a show to appeal to teens based on predefined stereotypes, why do they show two varsity jacket clad football jocks straight out of central casting chatting about how attractive Rogue is, and trying to hit on her in her introductory episode? In reality, such boys in high school would not be caught dead with anyone who looked like a freaky mall goth. They would be making fun of her, not discussing how hot she is. The show is insistent on perpetuating paper-thin stereotypes, and yet it fails to follow through logically on their behavior. And if anyone needs a strange foreign student who tries too hard to fit in, resulting in bizarre and often ridiculous behavior (because clearly, we don't have enough of that stereotype in films and television shows today), one need look no further than Nightcrawler. Jean Grey wasn't too badly depicted but the creators also didn't stray very far from her established Little Miss Perfect, type A persona, so I can't really comment on the way they chose to re-imagine her.The teenage X-Men weren't the only ones butchered. Characters like Mystique were reduced to one dimensional villains with no discernible deeper motive for half the evil deeds she does. We are just meant to accept that she is a bad guy, and therefore does bad things. No further explanation needed. These characters are true 'cartoons' rather than well-developed animated versions (reworked or otherwise) of their comic book counterparts. Definitely the worst of any version of X-Men I have ever seen (and this includes The Last Stand movie, which is saying a lot). I kept waiting for the series to get better but I was obviously following a pipe dream.

All of the X-men are ruined in this debacle of a show firstly by having them LIVE AT A SCHOOL THAT THEY DON'T GO TO! Secondly Wolverine and Storm are more of side characters in lame story lines like Spyke (who is a HUGE oreo) being framed for robbing lockers. They don't even face discrimination in this show like in the old one.Nor do they actually fight the bad guys until maybe the second season. Their biggest problem was Mystique being their principal! Oh right like Mystique would get that close to the X-men on a daily basis and not kill them. More importantly Why didn't Prof. X expose her? Even more yet why is this show so Lame assed? 2 out of 10 (nice costumes though)

I've seen the majority of the 1992 X-Men series of cartoons and I much prefer this version. Now, I'm in my 30's and have read the X-Men books for years. This includes the Ultimate X-Men, which X-Men Evolution bears more resemblance to than the original series. So I take exception to certain comments that this series is only for children of 10-12 years old. I liked the original series on Fox, but this one has different story lines showing the maturing of the mutant group.The animation is cleaner, character development actually occurs and most importantly of all - in X-Men Evolution, Storm doesn't make a speech every time she uses her powers!!! (This REALLY annoyed me in the Fox series!) In the Fox series Cyclops had had a personality by-pass and was seriously uninteresting and the X-Men Evolution has actually managed to give him some sort of interesting personality. So much so that he was one of my favourite characters.The stories in this series are all fresh, whereas the stories in the Fox series were just retreads of stories from the comics, where you knew the end result without watching the cartoon (occassionally there would be slight variations but not many).I would therefore recommend this series to anyone who like the X-Men and to remember this is the X-Men as teenagers in modern times.Out of 10 I would give this series 10, with the original series 7/10
