Description
The evolution continues in this "exhilarating thrill ride" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) that features the extraordinary original X-Men - along with amazing new mutants possessing fantastic powers that have to be seen to be believed. In the wake of a shocking attack on the President, the X-Men face their most dangerous mission ever. They must stand united with their deadliest enemies to combat a menace that threatens every mutant on the planet. But could this new alliance backfire and annihilate the human race? Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Hale Berry, Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos star in this breathtaking, action-packed spectacle that "may be the best superhero movie yet made!" (San Francisco Examiner)

X2 does a fine job of picking up where X-Men left off, giving fans more of what they liked the first time around. Under the serious-minded custody of returning director Bryan Singer, the second film of this Marvel comics franchise ups the ante on Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and the superhero mutants from the first film, pitting them against a mutant-hating scientist (Brian Cox) who's determined to wipe out the mutant race by tricking Xavier into abusing his telepathic powers. More a series of spectacles than a truly satisfying thriller, X2 introduces new mutant allies while giving each of the X-Men alumni--notably the temporarily helpful Magneto (Ian McKellen)--their own time in the spotlight. Well aware of the parallels between "mutantism" and virulent intolerance in the real world, Singer lends real gravity to the proceedings, injecting dramatic urgency into a continuing franchise that, in lesser hands, might've grown patently absurd. --Jeff Shannon

 Wolverine takes over!! September 6, 2008
This movie is just as lame as the first one. Has hardly anything to do with the X Men and a whole lot to do with Wolverine. They should have just called this movie Wolverine 2, because that is all this movie is about. People that think these movies are good know nothing about the comics.

I received it in record time. And the movie was great! I really loved it!
Pretty Good. September 2, 2008
IT is a good Movie as long as you can let the timeline warping go.
The best of the series July 31, 2008
If for no other reason than that two of my favorite characters are in it (Rogue and Nightcrawler), this is my favorite of the X-Men movies. But I also appreciate the fact that it is able to balance great action sequences with great character moments, something that is hard to do in a film. The romantic in me appreciates the fact that Rogue and Bobby *finally* get to kiss, even if it's only for a moment, and the fact that Scott and Jean's bond is evident even in their few scenes together. And I like how they manage to work in Nightcrawler's circus origins from the comics, because it's an important part of the character (though I wish they'd also managed to work in his more playful side as well). I don't even mind the fact that they've spent SO much time on Wolverine's past - let's face it, the movies kind were kind of "The Wolverine and Rogue Show" from the get-go. My only complaint? Not enough Cyclops (his movie-version was sadly underused).
