Surrpassing the First one cleanly

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2006)

The second installment in the X-men movies jumps ahead of the first and, in my opinion, all of the comic-based movies in the 2000's (see my review for X-men 1 for more details User:cjfort). This a fantastic movie introducing Nightcrawler, a blue man who can teleport. Great story meets great effects and writing. Direction is fantastic and so is the clear use of color. The first one is sorta gray if you compare it to this one. This one has more background than the first and is overall a better movie.
I recommend this one, but you have to see the first one first, because this movie contains someone of the mentionings in the first, but gone farther. After seeing this one, go back and watch the first and try and catch all they talk about.
(In every movie, Kittie (girl who walks through walls) is a different age in every movie and actress: X1-15, X2-12, X3-16)
