Good movie with the same flaw as the first

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2003)

X-Men 2 was by no means a bad film, in fact, it was a very good one. It even manages to be better than the first in every way.
But .... It does have the same flaw as the first one in that it's a bit too slow. I understand that the story line can be a little bit complicated, but I think by drawing it out so much it makes it a bit more complicated. At the end of the day it is a movie based on a comic book, and from what I remember comics are quite fast paced with a lot of action.
I'm rambling now, and by doing so making the movie sound bad, but trust me, it is well worth a watch, maybe even multiple viewings.
Good story, good characters (and not too many in my opinion) and the acting and direction were all good too. It just needed to pick up the pace a bit.
8/10
