The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)
"Fans of the late and lamented show may want to believe that this X marks a glorious return, but this plodding supernatural thriller wouldn't even make a top-10-episodes list."

X-Men (2000)
"You can stop shaking in your capes -- this is one comic-book adaptation that gets it right."

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
"A big part of Wolverine's appeal as a character was his mystery, but hey, Marvel finally decided (ill-advisedly) to spill the details of his origin in comic books. So Hollywood has followed, equally ill-advisedly."

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
"Let's hope this isn't the Last we see of these mutants."

X2: X-Men United (2003)
"The expanded cast and cameos will keep fans drooling, but the film never feels over-packed as we get a little history on Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and setups for a few characters for interesting turns in future films."
XX/XY (2003)
"Part Two Guys and a Girl and part overly earnest urban romance."

XXX (2002)
"Luckily, Diesel's got the looks and a really cool gun. And that's just XXX-cellent."
XXX: State of the Union (2005)
"Any excitement over the many eXXXplosions is overpowered by the fact that just about everything here is totally implausible."
