X2:The Solid Sequel

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2005)

X2 stands with the few sequels that do as well or better than their predecessors. With much of the character development already done in "X-Men", X2 concentrates on a solid story with great action sequences and terrific special effects. Each member of the original cast returns to give believable and, at times, emotional performances. Some previous minor characters get bigger parts that flow with and add to the story and a couple of new characters are introduced. Sharp-eyed fans of the X-Men comics will even see a few references to names that are familiar characters in the X-Men saga.
This movie is a definite "must have" for the sci-fi buff's collection.
