Awesome! Better than the first!

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2003)

I am picky - really picky as to what movies I like. Most movies are "Okay", but X2? What an awesome film. Better than the first, and completely unlike the first. This is everything Spiderman and Daredevil should have been. From the out-of-this-world special effects to the cleverly plotted action-sci-fi plotline: this movie delivers. I'm not surprised the writers had to leave out certain characters (Beast, Jubilee, Gambit), in just over two hours they chose extremely carefully who and what to cram into the viewing time. An intelligent action story with great characters (Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos steal the show). An amazingly well-filmed movie. What more could I ask for? Please hollywood, keep making crap, because it means we can really enjoy ourselves when a diamond like X2 comes along.
