Pros: Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, and Patrick Stewart. Characters and action. Cons: I wasn't thrilled with how the movie ended.
I had been working some crazy hours for a while. Because of that, I haven’t been to the theater to see a movie since I saw The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in December. There were several that I wanted to ...
Pros: I liked Ian McKellen. Cons: Not enough effort spent on the actual plot.
Preamble
Yes, I'm out of my element...so sue me. :)
What It's About
The X-Men are a group of men and women who happen to be mutants. They were born with special abilities like being able to freeze things,...
Pros: Acting, direction, effects and script are all stronger this time around. New characters, great stuff! Cons: More violent than the first--but it's more EVERYTHING than the first!
There are very few sequels that surpass the original. "The Empire Strikes Back" is one. "X2," aka "X-Men United" is another. I had high hopes for this movie, and I've been looking forward to it basically since the closing credits of the first movie...
Pros: Great storyline; McKellan, Stewart and Jackman are superb Cons: Halle Berry's wig; Stewart gets the shaft again; no Sabretooth
Mutants. Since the discovery of their existence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Across the planet, debate rages. Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain... or simply a new species of humanity fighting for their ...
Pros: X2 confronts issues of discrimination while handing out some slambang action! Cons: If you are previously unfamiliar, there are a lot of characters to remember.
As someone who has not seen the first X-Men movie, I wasn't particularly adamant about stuffing this movie into my already-packed schedule. Then, miraculously, I got a day off. So the time had finally come, and off I went in the lovely Mother's...
Pros: exciting and intriguing, very well done, many new characters, an improvement on first film Cons: none
With the success of the first X-Men film in 2000, it went without saying that there was going to be a sequel. 2003 saw the release of X2: X-Men United, a film following the continuing adventures of the infamous mutant super-heroes. Director ...
Pros: It's wicked cool. Cons: You might be looking for more than 'wicked cool', but I can't imagine why.
The movie ‘Unbreakable’ (love it or hate it) has as one of its positives the fact that it’s a good jumping off point for comic-book movie discussion. It’s a comic-book movie that pretends not to be (I hope I haven’t...
Pros: Great story, great effects, great interaction of the characters. Cons: Not enough Colossus. Us long-time fans hate when they change details to suit the plot.
Just five months after the first movie opened, work began on X2: X-MEN UNITED. The original cast was brought back, as well as director Bryan Singer (THE USUAL SUSPECTS), a story was hammered out, and filming began. The X-Men have been around since ...
Pros: acting, effects and a whole lot more. Cons: Halle Berry
When the first X-Men film was released in cinemas I loved it, and yet by the same token I was disappointed. I was one of those people you hear about that used to read the X-Men comics, and while i was not as avid a reader as some of the bigger ...
Pros: Better effects, stronger plot, more fun Cons: Frequently lapses of concentration, lays the allegory on thick, Disposable
I tolerated Bryan Singer's first X-Men movie in many of the same ways that I was surprisingly tolerant of George Lucas's "The Phantom Menace. Basically, I knew the story had to start somewhere, so I just accepted the onslaught of exposition...
Being a huge fan of the comic book characters known as the X-Men, I eagerly looked forward to watching the film adaptation of the original comic book series. Having liked the first film, I could not wait until the second part of this series came out....
Pros: acting, characters, political, deep, special effects Cons: Night Crawler, a bit confusing, maybe tried to do too much
I rarely go to see the same movie twice in the cinema. But, X2 was so phenomenal that I would see it again. In fact, I would have stayed in the theater and watched it again immediately.
Pros: more action orientated than the first, not as many loop holes, Halle Berry, Mazda RX-8 Cons: Pyro, you numbskull!!
Back when I was a kid -6 or 7- I was all into the super hero figures. Batman and the damn Power Rangers mostly, but I'd occasionally catch an episode or two of the X-Men, which didn't interest me in the least back in the day. In a string...
Pros: great story Cons: not the resolution I wanted to the Jean Gray, Cyclops, Wolverine triangle
Bryan Singer, the director of X-Men and X2: X-Men United, read X-Men comic books growing up. He loved them and took to heart many of the ideas proposed there. That's important because it means that he has a vision when creating the X-Men...
Pros: Great sequel, improving performances, fantastic special effects, Wolverine , Nightcrawler Cons: Lacks the humor I loved in the first X Man flick-pacing?
Following a shocking attack on the President, the X-Men must stand united with their deadliest enemies to combat a menace that threatens every mutant ...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
