Pretty good but man, it was s...l...o...w

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2003)

X2: X-Men United (why the subtitle?) is a pretty good movie. It's got great action sequences, cool special effects, and it cares about its characters. However, I must say that, it was slow. The movie moved like a snail. On the other hand, it was a snail that entertained you for two hours as you watched it go by. I never was bored, I was just tired. Similar to the dentist, you want it to end quicker but know, at the same time, that if it does you won't get your money's worth.
