X-Men 2


Plot: The X-Men join forces with former foes to go after a mutant killer who made an attempt on the president's life.
Review: Not enough action or mutants in the original X-Men? X-Men 2 definitely has it! It starts off with Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming) fighting his way through the White House and trying to kill the President. He then gets stopped but that creates interest through the X-Men as they try to figure out who tried to kill the President. Eventually it all comes down to William Striker (Brian Cox), the man responsible for the adamantium in Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) body. Striker is planning to wipeout the entire mutant race and it's up to the X-Men to stop them. But they get help from Magneto (Ian McKellan) and Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos). It's action packed, with a good script and all the actors are at the top of their game. Who says all sequels are bad? Because this one sure isn't! Definitely worth checking out!
