Summary: Ummm...
Review: This movie was OK. The plot was a pretty good. I guess I'm just nto the type for these movies. But if you enjoy these type of movies and you loved the first one, you'll probably like this one. I found it a little boring, but it is really action-packed (as I repeat I'm not liking these movies so you'll probably like it if you do) Hmm.. it was well - played but I didn't like the focus on the wolf-man guy (With the claws) THAT was a tad bit boring. But overall it was OK.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: This movie is a much better film than the first one. The action is fun and great, the actors are top of the line and the story is actually good, so it's not just about special effects.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The way a sequel should be made.
Review: This movie gave you exactly what you wanted. To revisit the characters that you discovered in the first movie. They built this sequel in the precise way that it should have been built. They started with the characters and went from there. So many sequels are just concerned with being "bigger," they never consider that better would be the best way to go.

The story focuses on Logan (Wolverine), and the search for who he is. A nice carry over from the first movie. Along the way, we meet new friends and enemies. Not all of whom are what they seem to be.

Apparently, we're to believe that Mystique has been able to keep the impression of Senator Kelly going since we last left them. Hey, minor issue as far as I'm concerned.

The effects work is again top-notch. The cast makes you believe that this world of mutants could actually exsist. Director Bryan Singer has once again put together a thoroughly enjoyable movie which is arguably better than the first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT X-MEN return
Review: This was one of the best movies of 2003. Better than Matrix Reloaded... The Blue girl (Mystic) was awsome... great special effects... can't wait to get it on DVD

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cool movie but,,,,
Review: Okay I love nightcrawler but what i don't understand is how come all the new people are using more of their powers instead of the original powerhouses like Jean Grey and Storm? Jean could have used the same effects like in freddy vs jason during their first fight scene with freddy using telekinetics. Jubilee should have used her pwrs to (Put her and Polaris in a video game) I like Siryn's cool but was she necessary? Anyway yeah the movie is great better than the first. they use more "powers" in this one.Well everyone uses a power once in the movie, instead of the main cast using their powers multiple times in the movie. The whole Rogue and Iceman love thing is awesome. Just wish rogue could fly though. But yeah Nightcrawler is incredible. If you're not a fan of his then you will be, he's awesome. I think this should have been called Wolverine and not X-men though, cause he hogs up way to many scenes. I like wolverine but he should have his own movie. I think everyone wants to see other characters with more scenes. Movie's synopsis is like Ultimate X-men the first few issues, along with added subplots basically. Some people say it's like God Loves Man kills saga but I haven't read it. Polaris and Havok would be great additions to the movie. Storm should have a mohawk, that'd be cool fits the leather better. As well as DAzzler (i hear gwen steffani is doing it) Beast is not necessary save the money for Gambit and Angel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well Done
Review: This movie has more action, more character development, and better special effects than the first. However, that's about it. Bryan Singer does a very good job in attempting to keep the audience into the movie. And for the first hour he does a very good job. However at two hours and fifteen minutes, it gets boring after a while. The movie starts off great but ends fair.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Light years beyond the first film
Review: Consider the first X-Men film a plot progressing set up, because from the first opening scene in X2 your thrown head first into one of, if not the, best comic to film adaptions of all time, and one of the few times a sequel out do's the original. Almost all of the first film's entire ensemble cast returns: Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Hugh Jackman (ever perfect as Wolverine), Ian McKellan (Magneto), Halle Berry (Storm), Famke Janssen (Jean Grey), James Marsden (Cyclops), Anna Paquin (Rogue), and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (Mystique) are all back. Also, the film goes more in depth with Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) and Pyro (Aaron Stanford) and introduces us to beloved characters Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming who turns out to be nearly perfect in the role) and Colossus (Daniel Cudmore). The storyline finds the X-Men months after the events in the first film, under siege by General Stryker (Brian Cox) who has his own agenda for mutant kind. Eventually the X-Men must team up with Magneto to stop him, and this is where the film shines. Director Brian Singer was critiqued quite a bit when it was said that the first film wasn't action packed enough; well, he made up for it here as X2 is action packed from beginning to end and the film pushes the limits of it's PG-13 rating. The performances are great, and while Jackman is his usually terrific self as Wolverine, he isn't the focus this time around and we get to see Berry more developed as Storm, Romijn-Stamos gets more screen time as well, and Janssen is better now as Jean Grey than anyone could have ever thought before. The special effects are nothing short of incredible; from Wolvie popping his claws to Deathstrike (Kelly Hu) popping hers, to Colossus' body turning to steel to Pyro's fire spewing shootout with the cops you will be in awe of the special effects wizardry. The only complaint here is that with the exception up towards the end of the film is once again Cyclops is a criminally underused character. Marsden is a good actor and Cyclops is a very interesting character and it is a shame he has gone so underused. All in all, X2 is much better than I could have ever hoped it to be, and this is undoubtadly one of the finest comic to film adaptions of all time.
