Films
In the feature film X-Men (2000) and its sequels X2 (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), Cyclops is portrayed by James Marsden. Although an important figure and leader in the comics, his role in the films, however, is increasingly reduced in favour of Wolverine. Many fans were upset by the handling of the character and one IGN contributor wrote: "Cyclops was misunderstood, miswritten, misdirected and generally mismanaged in this series." In the prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine set 17 years before the X-Men series, actor Tim Pocock makes an appearance as a young Scott Summers.

Famous quotes containing the word films:
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
“Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society’s porous face.”
—Marjorie Rosen (b. 1942)
