A Benchmark for all superhero movies!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2015)

The original X-Men movie was one of the best comic book movies that I had ever seen. With X2, we have director Bryan Singer returning for a sequel which manages the rare feat of surpassing the original in terms of quality. Once again, we have an ensemble cast comprising of the X-Men, i.e., the mutants.
Despite the large number of main characters, each of them have their own unique identity which has been shown in this film. There are some stellar action sequences along with some superb set design. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are the two outstanding cast members who have fleshed out commanding characters played with a steely calmness.
Due to the impressive ending, it enables the movie to serve as the perfect set up for all the future sequels. Every aspect of the movie manages to exceed the lofty expectations. X2 is one of the best sequels ever and is recommended for all.
