Summary: INCREDIBLE!!!
Review: I just wanted to say that this is probably the best X-men movie yet. They have done such an amazing job, taking the cartoon, and putting it on to the big screen. It's an EXCELLENT movie, and I recommend it to everyone! Hugh Jackman is absolutely gorgeous. GO SEE X2!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: MAGNETO GOES BALLISTIC
Review: When NIGHTCRAWLER makes an entrance, he don't bamf around! Well, I mean he DOES bamf around! You have GOT to see this! Anyway, he wipes out the Secret Service, and attacks the President, who responds by sending the Marines to attack Xavier's school.
Unfortunately, most of the main heroes are gone from the school, but they left WOLVERINE in charge. Unfortunate for the Marines, you understand.
Every X-Men fan knew that pathetic plastic prison would never hold the great and powerful, mighty MAGNETO! You guessed right, but which side is he on?
Near the end, you are distracted by a terrible tragedy. Then the movie ends, and you walk away, when you suddenly remember MAGNETO...

Summary: We'll win together or together will fall
Review: X-Men 2 is a great movie and I loved it so much. It begins with an amazing entrance of Nightcrawler(my second favorite) attacking the white house, and to add more actions to the movie, they add a human rival William Stryker who use chemical thing to control Magneto to tell him about the X-Men team. With the return of Logan known as Wolverine who seems care little about stealing properties of Cyclops (my very favorite), and care a lot more about Jean Grey who's Cyclops's girlfriend.Prof.X took Cyclops with him to visit Magneto in his prison who then got capture by that no good Stryker and his helper Lady Deathstrike who knock out Cyclops when he tried to save Prof.X.Stryker needs Prof.X to help him control his Cerebro so he can kill all of the mutants on the planet, he control his son and use his son's power to control Prof.X,when Prof.X ask what did he done with Scott(Cyclops), he said Scott was getting a reducation.Stryker attacked the school and capture some of the kids. Bobby (Iceman), Rogue, John (Pyro), and Logan (Wolverine) escape the attack and drove to Boston where Bobby's family is, also where Jean and Storm was doing some work at. They were stopped by a police force because Bobby's younger brother called them, but they got away. Then all of them got together except for Prof.X and Scott.Megneto escaped his prison then join together with the X-Men and their new friend Nightcrawler to stop Stryker's evil plan. The team went to save Scott and Prof.X, and Logan find out that Stryker was behind his lost past Stryker control Cyclops to turn against his friend. Jean, Mystique, Magneto went inside to find Stryker but got stopped by Cyclops who was controlled by Stryker. There, Jean and Cyclops start a fight while Magneto and Mystique run off. Jean tried to block Cyclops¡¯s attack and also tried not to hurt him, but the blast knocked both of them to opposite side, and the attack also brought Cyclops back to himself, but the fall had broken Jean¡¯s foot. They all, escaped, but who could have known that Pyro would go with Megneto.The dam broke by Cyclops¡¯s blast flooded and the X jet is not working. Jean run off to block the water and stopped others from saving her. By sacrificing herself, she saved the rest of them. The movie is almost at end when Cyclops cried when they saw Jean was gone. They also visited the president to give him an opportunity to save mankind and Cyclops almost burst to tear. At the end, Logan told Scott that Jean chose him as the one she loved. I had a feeling that Jean is still alive. And for anyone especially Zombie6669 who thinks Cyclops is a jerk is wrong. You shouldn¡¯t judge people if you don¡¯t know them. If there is ever a movie award voting contest, they definitely got my vote. Way the go X-Men! (I think myself as Cyclops even I am a girl)

Summary: GREAT
Review: I don't have much to say but it was even better than the first one. It showed different people than the first and the CGI was even cooler.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Sequel!
Review: They are back and better than ever! A new foe is at hand for the Mutant race, William Stryker ( Brian Cox from " Manhunter") has a plan to kidnap Professor Xavior ( Patrick Stewart) and use him to control the mutant race, now it's up to the X-Men to save their kind with the help of Magneto ( Ian Mckellen) and Mystique ( Rebecca Stamos).

Fantastic and thrilling sequel with tons of heart-pounding action galore and special effects too, there are new mutations like " Nightcrawler", " Iceman", " Pyro" and " Lady Deathstrike" with some amusing cameos by " Colussus", " Siren", " Jubelii" and " Kitty Pryde" includig " The Beast". Rarely does a sequel can be as excellent as the original, as in the case of "Empire Strikes Back", " The Chamber of Secrets", " The Two Towers", " Evil Dead 2", " Dawn of the Dead", " Aliens", " Godfather II" are all examples but this movie is one of them.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Cold as Iceman....
Review: The movie is technically absorbing and, as long as Bryan Singer keeps handling the wheel, he proved once again that the franchise is in good hands.

Altough the story plot is good enough, the movie is "cold". It lacks emotion, it's something I can't explain properly... Hugh Jackman steals the show once again, but the rest of the cast, while giving very good performances, failed to give "punch" to his lines and dialogues. Like I said before, it's a "cold" movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: X2: The sequel that said "No"
Review: after the staggeringly good original, hopes were very high for X2. Thankfully we were not disapointed in the big budget brash sequel that follows on from the original. The perfect casting of the original,Hugh Jackman coming from nowhere to be the worlds best superhero - Wolverine, is again mainly the centre character of the story, who has went in seach of his previous life. Events spiral out of control when his journey leads him to the only man who seems to know about his previous life, General Stryker (Brian Cox)who has kidnapped Professer X (Patrick Stewart), whos cerebro could wipe out the mutant population.

Anything else? Remeember Boris from Goldeneye? hes back as Nightcrawler (aka Kurt wagner) and presents most of the humour.

Overall its a classy affair, with soom good special effects and story. Any gripes? Bad feeling at the end and Halle Berry Berry wasted as Storm.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: X-ellent
Review: I went to this movie expecting 130 minutes of entertainment, and that's what I got. X-2 is certainly better than the first movie. Now, all main characters are already introduced to those people who watched the first one, but have not a close relation to the comics.

At first, I thought X-2 would focus mainly on Wolverine, but that's not true. Sure, in the moives Wolverine is still the most popular character, but he's not alone. Every major mutant character has the chance to be a good time on screen. Every one of them is given dimension, I could see they were well-developed for screen. Even so, X-2 is not, as may happen in other similar situations, a show-case for every hero to automaticaly and pointlessly display what he/she is capable of. Every mutant's actions is made acording to a good script, and Brian Singer's competent direction is able to give credibility to the movie (of course, credibility based on the premises of such a movie).

I said the scrip is good. There are no boring fight scenes every two minutes, I could find no major sequence-continuity mistakes, no rushed conclusions, and what is best, the story doesn't treat the viewer as an idiot. The only flaw I noticed is that the movie starts a little too fast, but that may be one more reason to keep the eyes on the screen. There are some funny moments too, mainly with Ian McKellen and his out-of-date uniform.

Speaking of Ian McKellen, pay attention to the casting: we don't see this reunion of stars every day. McKellen, Patrick Stewart (the perfect Xavier), Brian Cox (as the common enemy of the mutants, that's why the title 'X-Men united'), Hugh Jackman, Allan Cumming (amazing as the dark, catholic-fervorous Nightcrawler), everyone of them exeperienced, competent actors. And the women: all of them beautiful and talented: Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Famke Janssen (her best role so far), Rebecca Romijn (remember to close your mouth in the scene where she is not wearing make-up).

Not to mention the great visual effects. X-2 was an expensive movie, but one that will easily pay-off.

First class entertainment, movie grade 9.2/10

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie of the Summer
Review: Whoa! This movie is awesome. Nightcrawler was great and Jackman played Wolverine perfectly again. If your an X-men freak and read the comics pay close attention to the little things in this movie. For example: When Mystique is on the computer getting Stryker's data look closely at the files and names on the computer. Some of them are Remy Lebeau, Garrison Kane, Jamie Madrox, Franklin Richards and more. In the bar scene with the security guard look closely at the TV and you'll see a small appearance of Hank McCoy. I think the third movie is going to feature Pheonix and if you read the comics and watch this movie you'll know why. All in all a great movie. Go see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: X2: X-Men Rules
Review: X2 is one of the best films of the year. If you liked X-Men then you'll like X2: X-Men United even better. This movie rocks!
