Surpasses the first!

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2003)

The return of all the original cast members, the increased character development, the beautiful character development of Nightcrawler, and the addition of the newer characters, all contributed to the absolute success of this amazingly directed and executed production.
The portrayals were pure talent, as was the writing of this story, the direction, the editing, the filmography, the sets and designs, the innovations surrounding the talents of the mutants, and everything else involved with this movie. I was stunned at the pure quality and creativity contained within this film. I am both inspired and delighted by this movie.
It was twice as good as the first, and I can only look forward to the Special Edition of this chapter, and the third installment (the Phoenix line and a better interpretation of Rogue's coming into womanhood and her full powers) with a great anticipation. Absolutely amazing effects and an excellent story lend an enormous backdrop for these wonderful, creative and beautiful characters.
It rates a 9.0/10 from...
