Review – X-Men 2

If you liked the first one, then here’s a couple of hours’ worth of the same. In fact, it would probably really help to see the first one first, because several of the characters are set up there and don’t get a lot of development here. Interesting – or at least novel – new things in this go-around include the ultra-religious Nightcrawler and a scene in which a teenage mutant must “come out” to his parents. Beyond that, however, lies only a continuation of the effects- and action-intensive comic book drama of the first. I guess the producers know how to please their audience. Mildly amusing
