Absolutely the worst movie.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

After watching the first X-Men and hearing that there was a sequel coming out, I was excited. Not only would most of the original cast come back, we also got a few new faces, including Kelly Hu (of The Scorpion King), Alan Cumming (Boris Grishenko from GoldenEye), and Brian Cox (who first played Hannibal Lecter). They all contributed to a pretty darn good sequel. I was hoping to watch this movie the summer it premiered but never got around to doing so, but I got to watch it that fall and was pleasantly surprised (though there was a spoiler revealed between that aforementioned summer and the following fall, but I won't say what for those of you who haven't seen the movie). Lots more action and plenty of cool characters as befitting the Marvel Comics franchise. It made me interested in the sequel, which did not come out until three years later. But this was the best of the original X-Men trilogy. It's got some fun moments and lots of character development. Nightcrawler, Lady Deathstrike, Iceman, Pyro, and William Stryker are the ones who really steal the show in this movie. Stryker was originally the villain in the X-Men comic book God Loves, Man Kills as a military man turned religious nut. Read that one if you're interested in the back story of this movie. But give this a go. If you enjoyed the first one, this is even better!

This movie is interesting. I was thoroughly invested in this movie throughout the whole thing. The effects are good, the acting is good, the story is good. Everything in this movie is well done and it is worth watching. If you liked the first movie, you'll love this movie.

It's very surprising to me that this movie is a 7. I rated the first movie a 7. But they just had to make the personal interactions as lame as they were.Who the fuck acts like that so quickly about someone they birthed?Is that woman mentally challenged? If that is the case then this movie is legit an 8 out of 10.

Plot Overview: Short after the events on Liberty Island, a human task force with the purpose of killing all mutants rises and kidnaps Professor X(Patrick Stewart). Both the X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants alike must join forces to save mutant kind.Directed by Bryan SingerStarring Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman# NO SPOILERS!Overall: This movie is a great superhero movie and triumphs over its predecessor. Everything from acting, action and story goes bigger but it also makes it better.Would Recommend.# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!Patrick Stewart was excellent as Professor X as was Ian McKellen as Magneto. I love the relationship between Charles and Eric and think that it is very well done. Hugh Jackman was born to play The Wolverine and that shines through here. Halle Berry was a good storm as was Rebecca Romjin as Mystique and Alan Cummings as Nightcrawler. Famke Jansen was good as Jean Grey. Brian Cox was amazing as William Stryker as rivals Magneto for my favourite X-Men villain. Stryker's lack of powers made him an interesting and compelling villain and stood out for me in the film. Every character is used to appropriate potential and was used effectively.The story was great and the doomsday weapon used was very interesting and unique. The twist on the weapon at the end was also great and made the movie more tense. Superb ending with a shocking sacrifice. As much as I loved the way they played around with Wolverine's past, I hate the overwhelming focus on Wolverine in these movies and wish more could be given to other characters.There were some nice shots but the editing and some poor lighting let the movie down in the cinematography department.There were some pretty cool and interesting effects.This movie provided great action and gave justice to all the characters. The oddball attempts at humour fell flat for me but I imagine they may hit for some people.Personally, I really enjoyed this movie and think it was much better than its predecessor(which was also really good and I recommend). 9/10
