More X-citement

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2003)

I had liked "X-Men," and "X2" is a sequel worthy of its original. I enjoyed that this movie had more action, and included more members of the extended mutant team, such as Colossus and Kitty Pryde, as well as references to Gambit and the Beast. The most notable new character is Nightcrawler, played wonderfully by Alan Cumming. I was hoping that Wolverine (played by Hugh Jackman) would learn of his origin in "X2," and this movie delivered. Anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing an "X3," and maybe even a spinoff feature starring Wolverine. I can see that this franchise has more to offer!
