Delivers on the promise of the first X-Men

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2003)

Probable spoilers:
When I saw the first X-Men, I thought it was good, but that it NEEDED a sequel. X2 delivers on that. I had some problems (Rogue, Yuriko needed development), but enjoyed Nightcrawler (very cool opening scene) and a peek at characters for the next movie( I hope). General Stryker and his son were cool (comic book) bad guys. Magneto and Mystique were excellent. A little less Cyclops didn't hurt. Not quite perfect, but, IMO, much more fun than the last 2 Star Wars movies and approaches The Two Towers. If you liked the first or Spiderman, I don't think this will disappoint.
