quite xellent

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2003)

i was ever so slighty disappointed with the first x-men movie. i thought it tailed off in the last 20 minutes, which ruined the whole movie. so with this one, i had no expectations. which maybe is why i enjoyed it so damn much. it has all the right ingredients for a summer blockbuster, and more, as singer has a nice touch that makes it mature enough to be seen as a proper movie, rather than just a brainless summer movie. the characters evolve nicely, and some nifty special effects add a little fun into the plot, which isnt that good. but it has enough sub-plots to keep people interested. lets hope the pyro plot is followed up.
and unlike the first film, the finale is exciting and well executed.
