Good sequel, but not great

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2003)

X2 is definitely better than the original, but considering that the original had as much excitement as watching paint dry, that's not too much of an improvement, is it? Still, for a big budget Hollywood movie, X2 is strangely dull. The only bright spot is when Wolverine destroys STryker's soldiers in the X-Mansion. The rest of the movie is about 30 minutes too long. And boy, did the ending drag on forever! I was ready for this film to end about 30 minutes before it finally did.
