The good gets better.

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2003)

X2 is one of those rare movie sequels which surpasses a good original. It's an action movie where the personalities outdid the special effects, and this movie has great special effects. Storm was amazing and she simply blew me away.
There might be a battle for which mutants came out as the favorites for the audience but in my opinion Storm, Wolverine and Mystique easily won. Everyone has their favorite X-Men characters and neither Pyro nor Iceman could change their minds.
The latest mutant added to the movie lineup, Nightcrawler, at times added the right touch of humor but at times he was straight out of Sesame Street. He is still not a bad addition to the mutant cast. The RX7, and hopefully not a mutated version, was a great choice for the X-Men 2 car. Storm and the 7, that should have been the combination.
Well aware of the parallels between 'mutantism' and virulent intolerance in the real world, Brian Singer lends real gravity to the proceedings, injecting dramatic urgency into a continuing franchise that in lesser hands, might've grown patently absurd.
