alot more action and humor than the first

Rating: Null/10 (4 May 2003)

i must confess that i never liked comic books as a kid. i'd seen some cartoons here and there, and maybe with the exception of batman, i never found much of interest in super heroes. at first, i didn't care much for x-men when i saw it, but after i videotaped it off television and watched it a couple of times, i started liking it. i think that watching spiderman has helped to broaden my tastes somewhat.
x2 is a HUGE improvement in terms of action. fortunately, the tv spots don't give away the best stuff. the action sequences are phenominal and fast paced. the nightcrawler character has awesome moves! wolverine's new nemesis deathstrike is very nimble and brutal. their battle isn't just alot of blur. there are some serious "ow... that's gotta hurt moments" even mystique gets the chance to do some high energy acrobatics.
this sequel has everything the first had, but more of it. it's was very enjoyable to watch. the previews for matrix unloaded and the incredible hulk confirmed that eye-popping fight scenes are here to stay. the special effects are getting better and the choreography is improving as well.
the only thing that many might not like about x2 is it's ambiguos ending. it definately has a dramatic flair, but it leaves the viewer with unanswered questions that demand there be a sequel.
if you were disappointed with daredevil, don't worry. x2 has got it's doodoo together. you may just pull a muscle craning your neck during the insane action sequences.
