Prediction: Best Sequel of the Year

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2003)

To be honest, I get a little tired of armchair critics who spend their time deconstructing others' work. Sometimes it's necessary to look at a movie for what it is: an adaptation of a classic comic-book series, and a damn fine one at that!
X2 may not be the box-office hero, partly due to a poor choice of release date. But Fox managed to do the unthinkable - namely, to make a sequel which is better than the original. This is a feat worthy of mention, given the typical sequel fare these days.
The story was great, the acting was believable, and the effects were spectacular. Sure, I could spend all day picking this movie apart for the tiny mistakes made here and there. Sure, I could hack the actors to shreds. But what it comes down to finally is that I was able to sit through this movie and come away feeling truly rewarded for my money. Go see this movie. 'Nuff said.
