    Mutants. Since the discovery of their exsistence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Across the planet debate rages. Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain? Or simply a new species of humanity, fighting for their share of the world?

    Either way, it is an historical fact. Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute


    Humans Vs Mutants. Wolverine discovers parts of his origin. Jean Grey makes choices that will change things for herself and others.

    The best movie of the X-Men trilogy! Hugh Jackman is the perfect actor for Wolverine. I'm a fan of the x-men comics and this movie stayed true to the original material.

    Thoroughly entertaining, but a little heavier on the action this time (which wasn't necessarily an improvement). Just as I had hoped, the film further developed the X-Women (Storm, Jean Grey, and even Mystique), plus a host of others. However, while the central themes of diversity and acceptance were never lost, had they cut back slightly on the action, even more time could have been spent with the characters. Overall, the directing was excellent - the film was put into high-gear when it came to the action, and the main story and numerous sub-plots were carried out with great subtlety. One review I read was especially truthful: "The emotional spectrum widened, too, encompassing buoyant mirth and heroic tragedy."

    Rogue becomes more annoying as the movies go on, which is a little disappointing since I always liked that character.

    Not an altogether terrible sequel (I'm sure it had many fanboys and girls squealing their hearts out), and it advances the plot surprisingly well. I'm still not sure why I don't like this movie more.

    X2: X-Men United


    Directed by Bryan Singer

    Synopsis:
    Professor Xavier and his X-Men return in this sequel, facing their most dangerous mission ever when an ex-army commander, with mysterious ties to Wolverines past, launches an anti-mutant program. The X-Men must unite with their enemies to save both mutants and men.

    ~*~
    Bryan Singer just got a new fan! Ive never seen this one before today, all I really have is the 1st film and the 3rd film, X2: X-Men United is truely the best one of the X-Men film Trilogy (see X-Men Trilogy DVD Box Set).

    The story picks up where the first film ended and introduces a few more mutant characters on the screen.

    Although Strykers character onfilm was altered to being a Colonel instead of a *reverend (see Stan Lees X-men: The Ultimate Guide) I thought it suited the story quite well.

    A must have for your DVD collection! if you dont have it yet, check out the cool steel case on the DVD Box Set!

    Now this is MUCH more like it! After a shaky opening that was all clumsy exposition and no plot, the story centres far more around Wolverine, who was always the most interesting X-Man. The clever plot makes use of the political back drop of mutant witch hunts set up in the first film and introduces William Stryker, a military scientist with a fascistic agenda to rid the world of the mutant "problem", citing a phantom terrorist threat as a justification for his Draconian methods (sound familiar?!) It intelligently introduces Mastermind and Nightcrawler and Logan finds a match for himself in the gorgeous and enigmatic shape of Kelly Hu. The opening scene alone is more exciting than every action sequence in the first film put together, and the characters and their relationships are far more fleshed out, providing much more of the grey moral areas that made the X-Men comics so good. It also subtly seeds some of the most interesting plot themes from the comic book stories (which were all unfortunately completely wasted in the dire Last Stand...) Add extremely stylish visuals, super cool characters and loads of memorable scenes (the pick of which is probably Magneto's escape from his plastic prison) and you have one of the best superhero movies ever made. Pity the third one was such a pile of crap...

    Singer knocked this franchise out of the park with this entry. Sad that Brett Ratner struck out with X3 to lose the game! Bases were loaded too!!!

    A successful sequel to the first movie.

    The movie starts off lightly, but soon gains a steady momentum that keeps growing to the very end. The dialogue is smooth, the characters witty yet serious in just the right places, which creates a perfect piece of entertaiment.

    New characters add new spice (Nightcrawler, for one, was incredibly well made), and the ending was only too promising. They couldn't have done worse by actually typing: "In the next movie, we have Phoenix".

    The final scene with Jean and her decision, though, could have been better made. Like this, it seemed irrational that she did what she did; no real reason was given to it. Oh well.

    The first "X-Men" movie ended up with Magneto (Ian McKellen) behind bars (or in a plastic cell to be more correct) but in "X2" the mutants face a even bigger threat, a (hu)man named Stryker (Brian Cox). Stryker has a plan to wipe all mutants at once and starts by attacking Xavier's (Patrick Stewart) school. In short "X2" is everything you liked about the first movie multiplied by two. New mutants are introduced including Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming), Pyro (Aaron Stanford) and Lady Deathstrike (Kelly Hu) and we find out more about Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) past. This is the best entry in the series and one of the best comic book movies ever.

    One of the best sequels ever made. X2 is even better than the first movie. The script is more powerful, interesting and integrated. It expands the world of the story, the conflict between Humans and Mutants. Besides new characters are interesting, rich and acceptable.

    What X-Men fan wouldn't be happy with this one? When sequels are usually disappointing it is refreshing to see one that kicks just as much ass as the first. The new characters keep it interesting and by the end you feel like you know the originals as if they were friends. I loved it!!!

    The first time I saw this movie, I was SUPER HAPPY about it. I was like, "OMG MUTANTS NIGHTCRAWLER YAY! ^___^"...you know what I mean. But, like with the third one, I started thinking about it, and I became dissatisfied with it. Mostly because of Nightcrawler. Not at ALL how Nightcrawler should be, or at least that's what I think. So basically, every time I watch the movie my opinion of it slips lower.
