A Great Sequel

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2003)

X2 was a sequel that was even better the original, a rare feat in movies. I've heard that X2 was suppossed to be the "Empire Strikes Back" of the X-Men trilogy, and I wasn't disappointed. This movie was much darker than the original. Many of the scenes at the military lab reminded me of scenes between Darth Vader and Luke at Cloud City. The fight sequences were great, the romances weren't cheesy, and the acting was very good. Hugh Jackman was once again perfect in his role as Wolverine. Bryan Singer did a good job of directing, throwing in a lot of the plot twists that he's famous for in the Usual Suspectes. Overall, I'd give this movie a ten out of ten. It was pure fun, a great action/ adventure movie that actually has a plot and keeps you entertained from start to finish.
