“All of the crucial plot elements are there – action, suspense, wit, and a Любовь triangle. Rogue (Anna Paquin) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) are the main players of the film, and they explode on screen.”
“As the lead players, Paquin and Jackman do a great job. […] In fact, Rogue and Wolverine dominate the movie so much that they seem to share far еще chemistry than even X-Men’s звезда couple, Cyclops and Jean Grey.” ~ Film Review HHH
“[Hugh Jackman] captures Wolverine’s coiled rage and snarky attitude, evident in pointed exchanges with Marsden’s Cyclops. At the same time, he convincingly portrays Logan’s awkward tenderness toward Rogue.” ~ SciFi.com
“I think the greatest success of X-Men is its main characters (Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, and Rogue, played by Anna Paquin), which provide some of the most tangibly emotional scenes in any film released this year. Any one scene between Jackman and Paquin has еще electricity than anything in The Patriot and The Perfect Storm combined. […] Their scenes together have a wonderfully complex feel to them; a barely- harnessed sexual attraction combined with each of their heavily-loaded emotional baggage. Both Wolverine’s anger and frustration at his unclear past and Rogue’s fear and loathing of a power she can’t understand или control come through, clear as a bell, and Singer guides these two fine performers along that tightrope without ever letting them take a misstep.” ~ FilmScoreMonthly.com
“Wolverine is the no-nonsense action mutant at the center of this particular narrative, and Jackman’s bravado has on-screen charisma to burn. But the scenes in which Wolvie and runaway teenager Rogue talk tenderly (denoting true sexless Любовь between misunderstood souls) are tremendous. The burden that is being who they are is framed perfectly via flashback scenes that set up the lifetime of emotional scarring they’ve gone through (particularly Paquin’s reaction to her first kiss).” ~ PSX Nation
“What makes X-men an enjoyable film is the really fine work from many of the actors. I was particularly impressed with Hugh Jackman’s performance as Wolverine and Anna Paquin’s performance as Rogue. It is through the relationship of those two vital characters that X-men tells its story.”
“Another highlight among the special features is the screen test for Hugh Jackman. It’s a great scene (albeit too short) with him and Anna Paquin. In the movie there’s such great chemistry between the two actors, it’s nice getting a peek into the early stages of that relationship.” ~ DVD Talk
“Rogue (Anna Paquin) and Iceman are an item, but Rogue is still in Любовь with Wolverine. Unfortunately, Rogue and Iceman still haven’t figured out a way for them to touch without her stealing his powers and injuring him. Talk about sexual frustration!” ~ Epinions.com
“An outcast in the ‘normal’ world, Rogue takes to the road, finds Wolverine, wins a permanent place in his heart, and eventually seeks refuge at Xavier’s School for Gifted Children.” ~ Genome News Network
