X2does a fine job of picking up whereX-Menleft off, giving fans more of what they liked the first time around. Under the serious-minded custody of returning director Bryan Singer, the second film of this Marvel comics franchise ups the ante on Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and the superhero mutants from the first film, pitting them against a mutant-hating scientist (Brian Cox) who's determined to wipe out the mutant race by tricking Xavier into abusing his telepathic powers. More a series of spectacles than a truly satisfying thriller,X2introduces new mutant allies while giving each of theX-Menalumni--notably the temporarily helpful Magneto (Ian McKellen)--their own time in the spotlight. Well aware of the parallels between "mutantism" and virulent intolerance in the real world, Singer lends real gravity to the proceedings, injecting dramatic urgency into a continuing franchise that, in lesser hands, might've grown patently absurd.--Jeff Shannon
Maybe the best super-hero movie EVER!!!!!!!!!! When I first watched this film I was amazed at how good this movie really was. It wasn't like one of those hulk type films that are just made for money it was made to be the best. Well after seeing this film I was dying to see the first,[thats right i saw this one first]. And when I did I discovered it wasn't near the movie that this one was. Also since the story intruduces a new charecter more powerfull then ever the X-men and the villans must team together to defeat this ultimate villan. The reason I give it four out of five was becouse there were some things that would be hard for someone to understand. Also though the dioluge was better than most sup-hero movies today and the special effects were awsome! This film is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action\violence some sensuality and brief languge. And the rating is well deserved. Though not overly graphic the violence is rough. There is some kissing. And there is some languge.
Overall: It could be the best super hero film EVER!!!
Better then the first X-Men movie! This movie was very well done. The storyline was familiar to anyone who knows a bit about the X-Men comic book, although it didn't faithfully follow any storyline from the comics. It was still familiar. The casting, as in the last X-Men movie was good, Hugh Jackman is a great Wolverine, and Alan Cummings stole the scenes he was in as Nightcrawler. The special effects were very good in this movie, and the directing was also good.
If your in the mood for a light, fun, fast-paced movie; that is part fantasy-part adventure. Then this movie is for you!Juvenile George Bought only to see Hugh Jackman in something other than "Kate and Leopold" and he was just fine -- the only good thing in the movie. Otherwise, this is a puerile film for violence addicts with little or no entertainment value. Best for folks under 18 with mentality under 9.
