X-men 2 (X2)

Director: Bryan Singer
Release Date: 2003
Runtime: 133 mins Approx
Plot

After the events at the end of the first movie, Magneto is still locked inside his plastic prison, and is deemed secure. However after a a attack on the United States President by an assassin mutant, once again leaves the humans mistrusting the Mutants.
General William Stryker, goes to extreme lengths to eradicate all mutants, by breaking into the Proffessor Xaviers school for mutants, and starts kidnapping the students, who are under Wolverines watch while the rest of the X-men are away searching for the assassin who attacked the President.

After Magneto escapes from his prison, he temporarily teams up with the X-men to stop Stryker from wiping out the entire mutant population.
My Opinion.

I saw this when it was first released at the cinema, and the beggining part with Nightcrawler trying to reach the president while fighting off his body guards, was at the time a extremely good opener. The special effects on that scene were amazing at that time.

The acting is once again top knotch, and the director Bryan Singer, chose the perfect people to play the roles of the comic book characters. Ian Mckellin is once again very good as Magneto, as is Hugh Jackman.

The knew characts in this film are Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming) and 'Pyro' (Aaron Stanford), who add something new to the story, although 'Pyro' doesn't play as big of a role here as he does in the third X-Men movie.

Towards the end I did start loosing a little interest. Especially where the Cerebro part of the movie was happening. And due to the running time it does slightly drag. And could have been made much shorter by taking some of the unneeded scenes out of the movie.

I bought this a long time ago and can't remember the exact price although I think it was around the £4 - £6 mark, though I'm almost certain you will be able to get it much cheaper now.

It was pretty hard deciding what rating to give this movie, because it does slightly become boring towards the end, but I'm going to give it 4 out of 5, because I realised after it finished, how much I actually did enjoy it.
