20 Things The X-Men Movies Actually Got Right

A superhero needs a good theme. John Williams and the Superman theme; Danny Elfman and the Batman theme; Alan Silvestri's Avengers score. All of these themes are iconic and joining them in the hall of fame of superhero themes is John Ottman's X-Men theme.

Perhaps the most iconic theme is the opening titles which accompanies the majority of the original X-Men series, as well as the later films in the series, this theme really helps you identify the film as X-Men as it blends science fiction and action in a fast paced composition.

Coming out at a similar time as Spider-Man, which itself has an iconic score, it is often easy for the X-Men theme to be overshadowed. However, it really holds up as a solid original theme.
