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. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Samuel W The second installment focuses primarily on action and the powers of others, while delving into some potentially climactic threads of the story. While the story and the characters make questionable turns, it still makes for an enjoyable story as Stryker causes a true divide between humankind and mutantkind. The set-up and the visuals of the story, alongside the quips and the characters’ fun dynamics makes this an acceptable entry of the original X-Men trilogy.

The action - improved; the effects - improved; most importantly, the story - improved. Once again, featuring standout performances from Hugh Jackman, Stewart and McKellen, X2 is the rare sequel to outshine the original!
