Darker, Bigger and Way Better Than the Original!

Rating: 8/10 (15 November 2006)

I didn't like "X-Men" (the original) very much. it sounded like a low-budget comic movie to me.
This sequel beats its original big time .. I consider it one of the best sequels. The visual effects were superb and way better than the original .. and add some darkness & depth to these wonderful visual effects then you got a good comic movie.
Hugh Jackman's performance was good and he's probably the best character in the movie. Halley Barry is terrible and makes this movie bad when she shows up .. her character is just terrible and she is a bad actress.
Bryan Singer's directing is good .. especially with the fighting scenes.
The problem with the "X-Men" movies was & still the ending .. it wasn't awful but not good for sure .. the ending should be a little better to make this movie a little bit better.
Do not except so much out of it .. just watch it for fun.
