improving on a good thing

Rating: 9/10 (22 May 2003)

As a long-time fan of the X-Men, I was thrilled by the first movie - but now that I've seen the second one I'm growing ever more impressed. Now that the introductions are all out of the way (from part I) there is so much more room for the story-line to expand and the writer(s) did an excellent job of keeping the story moving and touching on familiar (to old fans) plot points to satisfy the old-timers.
Overall, an excellent movie - I hope there will be MANY more!
