Mate P X2: X-Men United is one of those sequels that are better than the first film. The characters are still great, I love how much more we got to know about them. Bascially all the adult protagonists except Cyclops, who I think is underused. I love how nuanced some of them became, it adds a lot to the characters. The plot twists are especially great and the information is perfectly dosed to keep the audience intrigued. This film is a lot longer than the first one, but the pacing is similarily great. It's intriguing throughout and never boring. The visual effects are even better than they were in the first film. The cinematography is just as good. The score is also still beautiful, while the cast is even more outstanding. On the other hand, the acting is mixed. Most of them, like Hugh Jackman are great, but there are a few performances I disliked. X2: X-Men United is a great sequel wich is either as good or a little better at all the aspects of the film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Paul S I didn't like it as much as the first one, but it was still awesome. The story was intense and the action was great. I definitely recommend it for superhero fans! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Adrian T X2 es un grana avance desde la primera. Hay mejores efectos especiales, las escenas de combate son más fluidas y realistas. Siguen siendo los actores quienes se llevaban todo por delante! En esta entrega me siento más cercano a los personajes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Brian M just like Empire Strikes Back, the 2nd film in the original trilogy is rated as the best. 9/10 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Riccardo D Great sequel that expands Wolverine's background and as well as that of side characters. Some cool new additions to the teams and the first they the two parts are seen collaborating for a common goal. McKellen (in particular) and Stewart as usual carry the most depth. Really interesting also the brief insight into Magneto's past. Glimpses of what's to come prepare the viewer for the third chapter. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Rick C X2 ups the ante by forcing the heroes and villains into a precarious truce against a greater evil that threatens them both. Although this accomplished a more interesting narrative overall, my criticisms of the first movie still apply. I also have questions about certain plot points in the third act that don't make sense to me. What is the extent of Storm's ability to control the weather, and when the dam burst why couldn't she stop what was essentially a tsunami? She can very clearly manipulate precipitation/water so if there's a caveat to her ability then it isn't explained very well in the movie. Why did Jean Grey have to leave the jet to use her telekinesis? Wolverine asks this exact question at the end of the movie and it is chalked up to something about her having to make a choice. Overall, unlike other superhero movies of the time period which focus on one hero and an accompanying villain (e.g. Spider-Man and Green Goblin), the X-Men movies are more ambitious; but with so many characters and superpowers to keep track of I feel the narrative gets progressively messier with inconsistencies.
