Flawless

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2006)

Perfect. That's all there is to it. Better than the first by leaps and bounds, indeed! Singer brings the same care to staying true to the characters and ups the stakes by making more action to replace all the heavy exposition of the first film. The plot is more just an excuse to comment on social problems and to develop Logan's mystery. Yet, it still makes sense and is well thought out. However, the true heart of this film is in the characters. *Spoiler* By far, the best scene as far as acting and character driven drama is the moment after Jean's death when Logan hold Scott and says "She's gone." Scott's response is the thing that sells Jean's death. "No, you don't say that!" It is by far the best performance in that movie. Bravo, James Marsden, and bravo Singer for bringing this movie to the people.
