MUCH better than the first...

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2003)

It is pleasing to see that X2: Xmen united is doing so well in theaters...this means there may be a X3.
Director Bryan Singer did a fabulous job of bringing all of the characters together and likewise developing some new. But left my movie critic badge at home for this one...I just wanted some action and was amazed. Just when we thought we have seen it all with movies like Crouching Tiger and the Matrix...X2 comes up with some original sequences that had many in the audience cheering.
A few other notes...POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Comic Book Purists will probably not be satisfied...but if you are a purist and you saw X1 you have no reason to be surprised. And if you happen to be a purist (like the guy sitting next to me in the theatre) give the rest of us a break and quit saying, "That's not the way it is in the book."

You need to however know a little of the comic books to understand the ending.

I wouldnt take a kid to the movie. Pretty graphic stuff (particularly Wolverine vs. Deathstrike).

In all highly recommended...I cant wait for 3.
