It's the "Wrath of Kahn" for X-Men movies

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2003)

Okay. . .the first X-Men was a little slow. But it was necessary. For those unitiated in the X-Men universe, there was the necessary character development and slow-moving storyline. X2 picks up where X-Men left off -- there's little, if any, deep character development but it gives X-Fans what they want -- action, action and more action. It reminded me of the first Star Trek movie. If you remember, it was kind of slow -- bringing everyone back up to speed on Star Trek and where are they now. Now, that was settled -- they unleashed "Wrath of Kahn" which absolutely kicked butt and took names. X2 is the same deal -- building on the foundation established by the first X-Men, X2 cranks up the volume. It is definitely a must see!
