best super hero movie ever

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2003)

I looked forward to seeing X2 as i loved the first film and it is an understatement to say I was blown away. This film is the finest example of how to make a sequel, take all the things that made the first film great, and add a whole new element in the form of bigger battles, new characters and new dimensions to the old ones. The film is a little over two hours long and it needs to be to give all the chracters their own moments, although I think cyclops and rogue were very underused. But that is just to give more screen time to the real star of the show, Wolverine, who is given more freedom by the PG-13 rating of this film to do what he does best, kick serious ass. X2 is easily the best comic to film adaptation out there, besting even the original Batman in my eyes, a 9 out of 10.
