Who Says Sequels Suck?

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2003)

Okay, it's true that most sequels are far worse than the original film. However, this is not the case with X2. X2 is a heart pounding, hold your breath 'til this ride is over flick with excellent visual effects. The viewer definitely gets to know more about the characters (the ones who are not die-hard comic book readers) and what makes them the "exceptional" people that they are. Their humanity is just as defining as their superhuman powers.
X2 comes at a great time when there is so much turmoil in the world. The film is more about tolerance than kicking bad guy ass.
