| X-Men 2: X2 Review |
| by Ram Samudrala |
| The recent Marvel films I've seen, which includes /Spiderman/ and
/X-Men/, have done a great job of translating the comic book world
into a big screen world in a way that still captures the spirit of the
comic book. /X-Men 2: X-Men United/ is no...more |

| "X2: X-Men United" suffers from the same dilemma as 2000's film
"X-Men." If someone were to leave halfway through the film they'd be very
excited, having seen a dark and perplex world of mutant superheroes. If
someone
misses the first hour they'd walk...more |

| Comic books are such a hot property now that it was only a matter of time before
someone decided on a sequel to "X-Men." The original "X-Men" made comic-book
movies a hot property and since then we have been saddled with "Spider-Man,"
"Daredevil" and a...more |

| X2: X-Men United is one of those movies that Hollywood calls "review-proof."
And they're right, because there's nothing me or any other dopey hack in the
world could say to make people think, "You know, maybe I won't bother." X2
is the sequel to a huge...more |

| Long time readers (well, since July 2000) know how much I loathed the
first X-Men movie. Don't bother writing in and complaining again -
you had your chance. Jeez, fanboys sure are touchy. So it should
come as no surprise that I only saw this...more |

| by Homer Yen (Rating: B) |
| "X-Men 2" is the perfect summer film in many
ways. It doesn't require too much to thinking,
it has a serviceable plot, and the final act is a
well-choreographed raid on the commander's
stronghold where everybody's special power is
used to some degree....more |

| CAPSULE: This second film based on the X-MEN comic
book is a better story and a more atmospheric
production. I am told it is a better adaptation of
the comic book. One does not come to this sort of
film for a deep statement of...more |
