The best of the x-men trilogy - X2: X-Men United Reviews

The first X-Men movie was good enough to have me watch the sequel, and I did not regret my decision. X2 was a great movie. Spectacular images, more character development, some decent acting performances (Cox and McKellen, esp.), and an over 2 hours that goes by really quickly. As opposed to the usual X-Men story, the bad guy here is a human (Striker). But a very well organized one, and who in the end poses a significant threat to the mutantkind. This Striker character was quite interesting and nicely played by Brian Cox. The scene where Magneto escapes from his plastic prison will be remembered. I know people that dont like superhero movies but who know and loved that scene. The whole X-Men trilogy is worth watching, and even more than once. And this one is the best of the three.
