A clear double-sensed movie

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2003)

Wonderful, much better than the first part, was X-Men 2. The special effects were amazing, just like in the first part, but much more (quantity). What I found really interesting from the beginning was the irony that filled the film, a very smart irony, that many couldn't understand. The scene where the president has to give a speech was an obvious intelligent comparison to what was/has been/is happening in the world, and always concerning USA's position. It was very courageous from the crew and cast to face what's going on in such a creative way. Of course I can be wrong and the movie was supposed to mean other thing, or not to mean anything, or to mean everything in general, but as we were going through a hard time that had to do with the States and Iraq, I felt that from the film, and felt deeply touched. Both the message and the production were great, as well as the performances (all of them, specially Hugh's). 9/10, just to be a bit mean.
