If you love the first X-MEN then X-MEN2 is a must have, with less story building than the first this film has a lot more action - packed fun for all to love.

Advantages: is a collectors item and a classic all time special
Disadvantages: old movie with apaling special effects

this movie was one of the first i ever owned on vhs as a child, i watched it over and over about 100 times. Its extremely funny as the combination of will smith that plays a very funny character and his partner the serious stereotypical FBI agent looking. The two characters end up having a very deep connection as they both work together and experience life at great risk fighting aliens. The movie also has parts of romance in it where another face ...
