I was a little worried about it at first since the first one was a little dissapointing and usually sequels are worse than the original, not better. But when X2 got some good reviews I decided to give it a chance, but I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but boy did I get a whole lot because X2 was freakin awesome. X2 did everything right that X-Men did wrong and it did the same things right that X-Men did right, so it was essentially a perfect movie. Yea, there were a corny lines here and there, but thats part of the fun and it's something you always have to expect. X2 also felt fresh and new probably because it had some new characters: Nightcrawler, Pyro, Colossus, General Stryker, and Lady Deathstrike; and it also has more details about the older characters (especially Wolverine). The special effects really added to the coolness of the movie. The Nightcrawler battle at the very beginning was mesmerizing and the tornado scene where Storm makes the tornadoes was jaw dropping as well. The ending, too me, was very well done. It left the Marvel fans something to look forward to and it left the non-Marvel fans with something to wonder about. Overall, X2 is an excellent Marvel film and where X-Men was the worst Marvel film, X2 is, or is one of the best. X2- 9/10 Other Marvel movies: X-Men- 7/10 Spider-Man- 9/10 Daredevil- 9/10 Hulk- 8/10 |
