The best comic adaption ever

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2003)

In my eyes this film is one of the rare ones which is much better than its predecessor. The movie is faster, the fighting sequences are better and the characters of the "evil" mutants are not shallow anymore (in the first movie Mystique, Toad and Sabretooth just spoke about 5 sentences all together).

But I still think that the focus of the film should be taken more away from Wolverine (he's a cool character, but he's not the only one in the film) and more towards Storm and Cyclops (They never show the leading capabilities of the comics and don't get enough screen time for their cool characters if you ask me). Additionally I would like that Shadowcat, Colossus, Siryn and Jubilee get a more than 5 second appearance in the film (I know, I know, there's already a whole bunch of mutants, but its about a group of mutants not just about some of them) and show a little bit more of their powers.

So for the third part I just hope that Sabretooth and Toad come back (they are surely not dead, they are much too tough for that), the reappearance of Jean Grey aka Phoenix and perhaps the introduction of Angel, Beast and Gambit (Angel & Beast are the last two of the original 5 X-Men to be still missing, but Beast was already mentioned in X2 and Angel shouldn't be too hard to introduce, because he worked as "independent superhero" before joining the X-Men. And Gambit, Gambit is just a cool character.).

If the improvement from X2 to X3 is as good as the one from X1 to X2 the 10 point scale won't be enough anymore. 10/10 points
