Better than the first

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2007)

The first installment of this series of films was real good but focused a little too primarily on Wolverine and Magneto. This one however was much more evenly spread among all the mutants. This is one hell of a cast and can always produce a real good movie. The movie rarely stays still and is on the move from minute one. A new mutant is introduced in this, Nightcrawler played by a scene stealing Alan Cumming and he is used to discredit mutants. When the truth is exposed the X Men investigate and produce a roller-coaster of a movie. When the American government try and raid the mutant school we get to see some new mutants from Colossus to Jubilee. The near last scene in the White House is fantastic. A brilliant movie that will be enjoyed by anyone who liked the first.
