X2 is an interesting fantasy, always aware of its need to remain that way. Considering today's Hollywood, that may be its most amazing power of all.July 14, 2015
Fortunately, bigger usually equals better here, and when it doesn't, it equals just as good.April 15, 2009
Bigger and more ambitious in every respect, from its action and visceral qualities to its themes.July 14, 2015
X2 still feels like a prologue. No matter how much goes on, you feel like nothing has happened.July 14, 2015
Director Bryan Singer skilfully keeps multiple subplots spinning while moving inexorably towards a climax that puts the first film's Liberty Island sequence in the shade.July 14, 2015
The light tone and modest character development of X-Men have given way to an avalanche of digital effects and a bloated symphonic score.July 14, 2015
Performances are solid throughout, with the actors managing to straight-face their way through some truly inane dialogue.July 14, 2015
X2's excessively complicated and character-crammed plot, which only a teen boy could care about enough to follow closely, has a nasty human bigwig (Brian Cox) fomenting a war against the mutants.July 14, 2015
X2 is the movie the first one should've been.April 15, 2013
The plotting seems dangerously self-interested, being concerned almost exclusively with the survival of the mutants themselves, and, behind the succulent effects, the tone is oddly hectoring.July 14, 2015
This satisfying new installment looks like just the thing to get the summer blockbuster season off to a supercharged start.April 15, 2013
There's little zest, less grace and, particularly in the writing, no creative spark to ignite the imagination.
