Did anybody see the political overtones?

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2003)

I like the idea of the administration overreacting to a terrorist assault and the cliffhanger ending with the president is left do decide wether to moderate his approach or continue on the downward spiral. I found that stance brave of Hollywood to take considering the political climate in the US now. Otherwise I do find the film not as good as the first, mainly because the plot, while good, is not so tight as in the first, and the acting is bad. In the first film the good actors (Xavier, Magneto, and Wolverine) were given larger parts which helped disguise the poor acting from other members of the cast. In any case it is the best film I have seen in a long time.
