Mutants United

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2013)

Bryan Singer returned to direct this sequel that sees the same cast returning to battle new threats from Magneto (Ian McKellen) & William Stryker(played by Brian Cox) a human military leader who is determined to defeat the mutants, and who has a personal reason for doing so. After one mutant called Night Crawler nearly kills the President, Stryker is emboldened to invade Professor Xavier's(Patrick Stewart) school, forcing Wolverine(Hugh Jackman) to lead some students to freedom, though the threat from Stryker forces an uneasy alliance with Magneto(who has escaped from his plastic prison) and his mutants(like Mystique) in order to defeat Stryker, though this mission will have devastating consequences for both Cyclops(James Marsden) & Jean Grey(Famke Janssen)... Fine sequel is just as good as the first, with an expanded story that explores the mystery of Wolverine while looking forward to the future, even in the face of personal loss.
