I can see X5 or X6 in the pipeline

Rating: 7/10 (1 May 2003)

An enjoyable sequel, this movie kicks right off where the last one ended and seems to be developing itself into a franchise of films much like Star Wars. It will probably live under the shadow of The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions this year but I think the best is yet to come from the X-Men. The casting for the film is excellent and provided they can continue to coordinate the schedules of all the actors it would be great to see them in action in further sequels. This film stands out among the Matrix-wannabes and I admire it for not resembling the Matrix in any sense other than the black suits. So if you want to see an intelligent sci-fi flick and you're sick of hearing about the Matrix, give this one a look, it might just be better than the Matrix.
