A throughly enjoyable film.

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2003)

I really enjoyed the first X-men even though I had never read the comics or watched the cartoons. I felt it was a good movie, but the sequel surpasses it quite easily. The opening sequence was spectacular, brilliant special effects and the sound was amazing (especially in the cinema)that alone is worth the price of admission. With new characters being introduced into the story it made the film more interesting and new and exciting powers were unleashed.
I liked the fact that the mutants had to work together in this film rather than work against each other like in the original. It added a whole new atmosphere to this film and distanced itself enough away from X-Men to not rehash the same stories.
In the end the film leaves us with the feeling that there is going to be another sequel, which I hear there will be and if the script is as good as this one than it will be a wonderful film and do very well Im sure.
I give it a 9
