Much better than Spidey 1, 2, any Batman or its predecessor.

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2004)

X Men 2 is about as good as a super-hero movie could be.
The issues of abomination, isolation, and prejudice are explored without being unmercifully pounded home, and thus insulting the viewer's intelligence -and, more importantly, without interfering with the expertly crafted pace of the film and its all-important action sequences, thus allowing me to write this truly atrocious, yet apt, run-on sentence that seems to go on forever and ever.
I am only writing this review after having just seen Spider-Man 2 and being a bit disappointed. Don't believe the hype.
