X-Men 2 - 2003-05-03 12:30:46

The film is called X2 according to the starting credits, but it was called X-Men 2 everywhere else I saw (aside from posters in the cinema).

More plot holes than a Star Wars film, but still a good mindless action flick. The intro is great, with eye grabbing special effects which put you in that eyes open, mind off state. Sadly though the Wolverine fight (it just wouldn't be X-Men without one of them) is poorly done, predictable, and just plain old silly.

If you liked the first, you'll like the second. If you didn't bother with the first, don't bother with the second - it treats the first movie as assumed knowledge.

Anyway, a good action flick, with some good special effects and one way cool death scene.
