X2 Exceptional Sequel

Rating: 7/10 (11 May 2003)

X2 is a fantastic followup to the first X-men movie. In every way does it improve on the original. Gone are the dreadful introductions of the characters and the lame one liners. What remains is the great action and special effects with exceptionally enjoyable scenes with Wolverine and the new character Nightcrawler. The only problem I have with the film is the story. It never even comes close to the exceptional plots and events in the comics. The stories are way too thin and light. With the possibility of only making 2 or 3 X-men movies I would have liked to have seen something more substantial in plot department. All in all it is a most enjoyable film and there is no way you could have a boring time watching the movie.
