X2 (2003) Review 8/10
We have rated this 8 out of 10. X2 is still one of the best superhero sequels ever made. It expands the world, deepens the characters and opens with one of the greatest comic-book movie scenes ever: Nightcrawler’s White House attack. Hugh Jackman gets stronger as Wolverine, Brian Cox makes Stryker a chilling villain and the ensemble actually feels balanced. It has action, emotion and real stakes. For many fans, this remains the high point of the original X-Men era.
