Top sequel far better than the pretty good original.

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2003)

Saw this last night at cinema world in one of their lurvley large DTS auditoriums.
What a film!
The opening sequence with Nightcrawler. alone is worth the price of admission. I had my reservations about Alan Cummins playing this dark devil like character but he plays him beautifully as a highly sympathetic yet lethal mutant. Hugh Jackman was as Cool as ever and made my wife and her friend who came along with us wet their seats as soon as he entered the frame.
The film really lets go this time out and is no mere character study with a few ropey xf scenes like the first but a full blooded excursion into superhero mythos acompanied by lashings of quite vicious ass kicking that will stand up to anything the Matrix reloaded is gonna throw at us(maybe) .
All the characters are well served this time round you don't just think you are are watching the further adventures of Wolverine. We also see the gradual transformation of Jean grey from telekinetic psychic to goddess and it is handled beautifully. I could go on about just how cool Magneto and Mystique are this time around or about how Rogue is getting a lurvely pair if boobies on her but I wont.
Go see this film it's the best film of the year so far.

Oh just wait til you see Lady deathstrike and wolvy throwing down that's one stinging painful fight.
