An amazing sequel.

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2019)

I recently watched the first X-Men movie and enjoyed it a lot, but I had never expected this sequel to be as good as it was.
Everything had been turned up to eleven, the story, the performances, the tension between humas and mutants. It just worked perfectly.
The X-Men are forced to join forces with their enemy Magneto to battle a tremendous threat to them all when William Stryker and his son kidnaps Charles Xavier to fulfill his diabolical scheme against all mutants in the entire world. During the chase we learn more about the origin of Wolverine without solving it completely, leaving room for future installments which is also quite obvious with the ending.
Some of these settings are actually very eerie and atmospheric helped on by the power of most performances. One in particular is Christopher Lee as the imprisoned Magneto after his capture in the first movie, he just gave me the chills. Another highlight is Brian Cox and Michael Reid MacKay as William Stryker and his son Jason respectively. Stryker is just diabolical and Jason, even though he never utters a word, is powerful in his own right.
Many good action scenes and effective moments of suspense, because you don't want it to end in tragedy for anyone. Not predictable like many superhero movies can be, but neither disorganized or messy. Just an enjoyable treat and a rare example of a sequel improving upon its predecessor.
