Allright all you diehard Xmen fans...in the movie franchise, who did the best job, and is there anyone else you would have liked to seen in the various roles? Personally, Hugh Jackmen did a great job with Wolverine in my opinion, and I was surprised at how well "Frasier" did with Beast. I've got a few others that I think were almost spot on, Like Prof. X....but I wanna know what you think.

I fell in love with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine!!! I also love Jean Grey and Rogue. To be honest, there was really no one that didn't play their part well. They did an excellent job at screening their cast!

I agree with your choices - I was fairly tickled to hear "Oh my stars and garters" from "Beast."
But yeah, Patrick Stewart is the perfect physical fit for Professor X, and has done a fine job in the role as well.
I must say that though I like Ian McKellen as an actor, he looks a bit old to be "Magneto" now. Then again, who could they find with gray/white hair who looks young? They'd have to dye someone's hair and it would look pretty cheesy.
And Jackman - wow, he has been *great* as Wolverine, and I can't wait for a spin-off "solo" movie. Maybe the writers will let him bring out more of the animal in Wolverine, something we've seen in short bits in X2 and X3.
I know Cyclops loves Jean and all that, but the movie version seemed a bit too sappy for me. I probably haven't read enough of the comics to know, but Scott seems a bit more mature and confident in the comics.

Head on had to be Xavier = Patrick Steward, no contest.
Great casting, Magneto = Ian McClellan, Wolverine = Hugh Jackman, Beast = Kelsy Grammer.
The rest of the casting was not as good comapred to the names mentioned above.

This movie is spectacular compared to other comic books turned movies. This one they really did their homework and got perfect matches for the characters. Everybody did their part well, given the opportunities. Not everyone got the limelight to show off their talent. Hopefully, we can look forward to spin-off movies that deal with just a small amount of characters in their own lives. (A Wolverine one is definatly, and the story/life of the Phoenix-complete story.)

I think Professor X, Wolverine, Jean Grey and the Beast were fabulously done.

I only saw the last one (I may catch the others another time), but Wolverine was very cool. The Beast was excellent too. Kelsey Grammer did an excellent job.
By the way, I'm glad they ended it the way they did. Realistically!

Halle Berry wasn't really given any depth to Storm until this last one. I think that it would be a tie between Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto), Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Famke Jansen (Jean Grey/Phoenix). They had the most character development and story.
I think Jean Grey/Phoenix was awesome!!!

Wolverine was great.
Don't see the third movie. They turned a Deity into a split personality. They killed people who were not supposed to die at that point.
If you see it, WAIT FOR THE CREDITS TO END! That scene makes it a little better. I'm still so mad about the movie. Stupid new director.
