Daniel's Review

Why have I just started watching X-Men movies for the first time?

 

An answer that I will never know.

 

'X-Men 2', the 2003 sequel to the 2000 hit film 'X-Men'.

 

The sequel starts off where the first film ends of Logan trying to find out who he is and how did he get his powers and become the Wolverine.

 

I love that all the characters are back of what made the original an amazing action movie, but more developed including one of the characters Bobby for a scene, which has to be my favourite scene in the whole movie.

 

Also, an intresting love triangle, or a love quad? All I know is that Twilight should of took some notes of how to do love triangles properly.

 

But moving on, this film is over 2 hours long which is a major improvement over the first film's bizarre 96 minutes, but it doesn't feel overlong, maybe right where the film ends, but that's not a negative.

 

This film has plenty of action and has a lot of good jokes, especially at the end when the Wolverine finally meets his match.

 

To me, this is just as great as the first film as it promises great action and overall an enjoyable movie from start to finish.

 

Score: 8/10
