One of the Best Sequals Ever

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2003)

Director Brian Singer has me in heat--not only is he an attractive man
but he is an amazing director. The first X Men film was terrific and
this sequal manages to be even better. Both films are a joy to watch as
a gay man cause they show how difficult it can be to be misunderstood,
demonized, and marginalized. I almost wept when Icemans mother says
(after he comes out as a mutant) "Have you ever tried NOT being a
mutant?" and I felt real fear when the real bad guys attack, brain wash,
and complain about how much they hate what they dont understand and
fear. So far the X Men movies are one of the superior movie franchises
in movie history and I look forward to X-3 (you die hard fans just know
its gonna be about Phoenix!) One complaint give Storm more to do and
please introduce Gambit................................
