A better than the first evolutionary kinda sequel

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2003)

I just got back from seeing X-2 - X-Men United. Knowing it was a sequel, I had the sequel is going to rehash kinda thing in my mind. Not this movie. It was done where if you saw the first one -- great..if not -- great! Many reviewers here have already told enough about the plot of this film so I wont add more to what they have said regarding that plot. I'm only going to write about how this film made me feel..and that was fantastic. This sequel took chances, had a strong message and didn't back down from you knowing who was 'good' and who was 'bad'..on both sides of the coin. Yes, here is another early summer 2003 entry that wants you to "think", well after you leave the theater. And that is...think more than about the "action" and the "cool special effects" the mutants do. Excellent film.
