Review of X2 (2003) by Joel B — 23 Oct 2015
X2 is a great sequel to a stellar film. While it is well-paced, congruous with the style and themes of the first, and builds upon the lore of the franchise, it doesn't quite match the level of excellence of the first, but it doesn't miss the mark by all that much, either.
X2 is marked, once again, by standout performances by Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, each of whom play incredibly well one off the other and fit their characters nicely. With bigger action sequences and better special effects, once again made a part of the story rather than defining the whole, X2 is one of the best sequels of the decade.
