Better than i could have imagined...

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2003)

The opening sequence to X-Men 2, nightcrawler 'porting around a lot, almost caused me to wet myself. and the film got better from here.
being a reasonably large x-men fan, i was expecting something special, and this didn't dissapoint. nightcrawler and pyro were more than welcome in this sequel, and cameos from various classic characters (colossus, siryn, henry mcoy etc.) made it even more watchable.
the action scenes were excellent, and the music kept the film flowing well.
apart from a couple of slightly slow sections, and a small amount of dodgy CG, this film blew me away. it lived up to the hype, and then some.
no matter how many trailers you've watched, and how much inside info you've read, this film will suprise you.
this is like one of the finest comic books in celluloid form. amazing.
9/10
