Tons of respect for the place this has in comic book movie history - seeing this for the first time as a kid, I absolutely loved it. However, it can't really compare to most of the X-Men movies that came after it and watching it now I find it overly short, too simple with plotting and character development (seriously this is like the most basic version of X-Men you'll ever see), and there's really not any sustained action. Still like it though for the nostalgia and the gift of Hugh Jackman!
A bit of a let down coming out of the Disney+ series, but what it lacks in action it makes up for with great performances from Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and Carl Lumbly! It feels lighter than it should, but is still a fun watch. I hope this team gets another shot to find the sweet spot of social commentary, action, and story that will differential Sam Wilson's Cap from what's come before!
