a must-see!!!

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2003)

X2 is by far one of the best sequels ever put out. It lived to the hype. Singer and company put together an absolutely brilliant movie bringing the comic book characters to life. The best sequence in the movie is the first scene with Nightcrawler. The Rogue-Iceman relationship is definitely a heartbreaker to watch and the Wolverine-Jean Grey-Cyclops love-fest was more developed in this movie.
Here are some things that points I would like to make about the film. Get a new Cyclops. James Marsden can?t act, especially the scene where Jean leaves the plane and he tries to stop her and starts getting upset when she closes the door. Everyone in the theater laughed. Also, there is no chemistry between Marsden and Famke Jennsen (Jean Grey). That makes it hard for those not familiar with the comic book to understand why they were together. Lady Deathstrike was underused. I don?t think she even said a word. It seemed as though she was more of a robot than a human. I?m not staying that Kelly Hu?s acting was bad or anything. She just wasn?t given a chance to act.
2 hours and 15 minutes of great movie watching. Can?t wait for X3!!!
9/10
