super sequel

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 2003)

I was there too and must say that the film is an improvement. The only thing i hated about the first x-men was that is too damn short. Wth more character development, more action (with a bigger budget) and cool new characters, X2 will blow you away. Especially the sequence where the school is under attack. Wolverine slashes a lot of soldiers and shows his true temper. Although i have come to the conclusion that Rebecca Romijn-Stamos still can't act. She showed in the sequence where she plays herself (as a blonde woman). She doesn't have to say anything during the film, just being there is enough, but when she does speak it seems too constructed to be believable. Another negative aspect is that the film really jump starts at the beginning. When you haven't seen the first film or read the comics this could be a bit confusing since it overwhelms you with tons of information.
But for the rest it was a great ride so please put X3 on the fast track !!
