Had 'Pryde of the X-men' been made today, it would have been laughed out of TV screens! But as it is, it was made at a time when the X-men were virtually unknown outside of comics, before the movies, the highly successful and epic cartoon series of the 90's and the more recent series, X-men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-men. For a first attempt it did a fair job of introducing the X-men and the basic premise of their being mutant superheroes who defend humanity from evil mutant terrorists such as Magneto and his co-horts. But it was coupled with juvenile dialogue delivery and a pretty childish plot which certainly wouldn't hold up to today's sophistication (or hell, even the complexities of the X-men comics universe back then). I particularly disliked the characterization of Wolverine as a reckless thug with an over-the-top Australian accent. That apart, it was a pretty good first attempt at bringing the Children of the Atom to the small screen, where they have returned many times since, with far greater success.
