Smart fun

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2003)

X2 starts out fast and just gets more fun as it goes along. The plot moves along quickly and rarely loses its place. Some of the newer characters tend to be glossed over, only recognized by fans of the comic books, but almost all contribute to the action. It is smart and fun, with humor and even a bit of soap-opera elements. --Possible spoiler here-- One thing the movie promises is a sequel and the aforementioned fans will see it coming a mile away, especially the probable plot of the third movie. Hint: Think X-Men #s 100 & 101. In fact around the middle of the end credits a broad hint is given, also. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
