Review of X2 (2003) by Arkham A — 02 Jun 2014
This film greatly improves upon its predecessor, sporting much better action (The stuff with Wolverine and Nightcrawler especially standing out) and a greater focus on the X-Men team as a whole, rather than just following Wolverine and Rogue.
However Cyclops, the supposed leader of the X-men, is still reduced to the "worried boyfriend" archetype, so that the film can focus on the far more popular Wolverine as the film's central character.
Overall though, this movie is still great, as it more deeply defines it's main characters, as well as their enemies, and is anchored by awesome action scenes along with excellent performances by the entire cast, especially Hugh Jackman, Ian Mckellen, and Brian Cox.
