| X-Men 2 is a rare sequel that is better than the first. I totally dug the first flick, but X2 does everything bigger and better. Great action throughout the film, Logan kicks all kinds of beserker ass, Nightcrawler is the best new mutant, and the music score is terrific. Few complaints: Slow beginning (except for the White House scene), Lady Deathstrike is underused, and there could have been another scene or two of Wolverine kicking more ass like he does in the Mansion. These are all small complaints, though. Overall, a great flick that pulls an EMPIRE STRIKES BACK on our asses! By the way- Why is the film called X-Men 2: X-Men United, but the actual film says "X2" at the beginning and nothing else??? Also, look like the nerds "united" last night as well. WHOA! Almost as bad as those month-long lines for STAR WARS! The word "ass" is used way too much in this review- Sorry! |
