Critics Consensus

Pulling off the x-traordinary feat of staying true to its beloved predecessor while charting a path forward for the franchise, X-Men '97 is simply x-cellent.

4/5

A blast from the past with eyes laser-focused on the franchise’s future, X-Men ‘97 is as sharp, shiny, and frankly frickin’ cool as Wolvie’s adamantium claws. Snikt!

Somehow “X-Men ’97” also manages to be a time anomaly, in the best way — both an artifact of the ’90s and a show for this moment, the perfect synthesis of then and now.

Everything about ’97 reflects an affection and thoughtfulness, not just for the Saturday morning cartoon but for the X-Men, too.

The show’s animation is just gorgeous. The colours, the movement, the details–they added to the immersive experience of the story. The characterizations were stellar–characters who hadn’t been given their due came alive here.

Doesn't quite hit the heights of the original cartoon despite higher production values, a couple of really interesting storylines and amazing action sequences.

I remember the xmen cartoon as a kid I loved it. the new season one, not that bad. the episode Motendo i did not like as a kid, now the new one is just a disappointment. but i see why they did it. they didn't give season 1 much thought, like every movie made sense End Day by marvel. but it bleeds in season 2 of xmen 97which i loved. i cant wait tell season 3 of Xmen 97!!

Great show I highly recommend watching X-Men 97’ to anyone The first Season was very fun and exciting, even if you weren’t paying attention it eventually will grab it The 4th episode was silly and not very entertaining But it just is going off classic X-Men shows random episodes too show relationships being grown in a creative way I think the show is very well made and entertaining overall and the action part of the shows are extremely satisfying I would rate this show less than 5 stars since its not funny (or meant to be) but I cant because its very well made 5 stars for a high quality animated show 5 stars

Jumbled mess of a story I heard they fired the writer which is good hopefully the next season is better.
