Good stuff packed into solid sequel

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2003)

X2 is basically a faster, more intelligent, better looking, more solid movie than its predecessor. We're talking in every way too, folks. All the characters, new ones included, are well played and deep, with the possible exception of Rogue, who kind of got put aside in favor of the others(which is okay in my book). The plot is sort of a mirror image of the first movie, but it's a subject that reflects the sort of thing we as humans deal with on an everyday basis, and an important one to boot. Exceptional characters, exceptional acting, exceptional action, and Nightcrawler!! If you're interested in the slightest, don't miss it.
