A Great Movie with Surprises.

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2003)

The only basis for judging this film was on the first X-Men. I wasn't thrilled with the first movie. I thought the action scenes were cut a little short and when I finally got a small dose of some fights, it ended rather quickly. To be frank, the X-Men got their butts kicked. And on top of that, they did not leave any time for some growth. The movie was one hour and forty minutes long. I was keeping my fingers crossed going in to the second movie. I was not disappointed. At a great two hours and 15 minutes, the film left enough room for character development and wonderful action scenes. Some unexpected twists and good acting accompanied the script as well as visual effects that surpassed the first one. Go see this movie in the theatres. You will not regret it. 9/10
