W społeczeństwie toczy się dyskusja na temat mutantów. Ludzie boją się istot obdarzonych nadprzyrodzonymi zdolnościami. W imię ochrony przed "dziwolągami" chcą ograniczyć ich prawa. Gdy teleportujący się mutant o imieniu Nightcrawler wkrada się do Białego Domu i próbuje zaatakować prezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych, do akcji wkracza wróg X-Menów, generał William Stryker. Ostatecznym rozwiązaniem problemu ma być atak na szkołę profesora Charlesa Xaviera, w której mutanci chronią się przed wrogością otoczenia. (Canal+)

... and the potential opened by the first film is fulfilled in the second film. Bryan Singer is truly the master of masters and quite brave in terms of action sci-fi (fortunately, the number of these people is increasing), so he is not afraid to take his foot off the gas and let the story flow more slowly, but this means that he models the characters all the more thoroughly. Good (X-men) and "evil" (the torso of the Magneto group) unite in the fight against the unpredictable General Styler, who intends to abruptly end the mutant issue. The contradiction of Professor Xavier's opinion is even more problematic and the points go to the radical Magneto. Again, I have no choice but to praise the great actors – Stewart, who is not at the forefront as much this time, the charismatic and tough Jackman and, of course, the incredibly charming villain/non-villain played by Ian McKellen. Let's add points for great tricks, improved fights, great music and an ending that is not afraid to hand out surprising losses (unlike the first film). I really enjoy tensely watching how Singer builds a great film world that is adventurous, intelligent, immersive, and reasonably mirrors our world today. In addition, their world is inhabited by well-characterized heroes (newcomer Kurt Wagner is a true master!), with whom one can identify. Yes, this is what modern sci-fi action should be.

Brian Singer proves that even a movie based on a comic book can contain some psychological undertones. If you add precise directing, well-chosen cast, lots of ideas and an ingenious action sequence. In addition, they have the advantage that the movie worked even without any of the above, unlike most other popcorn movies recently. At last a picture that proves the rule that a sequel can be considerably better than its forerunner.

Given the genre, the slower pace of X-Men 2 is a handicap. More characters, more dialogue, more solving of problems than action. I wouldn’t have minded any of that if it weren’t 133 minutes long and if the dialogue didn’t somewhat fizzle out into nothing. X-Men 2 isn’t as deep as it pretends to be. But it’s just as intelligent and the characters are just as cool as they were in the first X-Men.

Honestly, one of the best comic-book adaptations I’ve ever seen (together with The Dark Night and Watchmen). Unlike the first part, X2 goes further in almost everything, has a better story and some brilliant and unforgettable scenes (Magneto’s escape from prison), and it’s excellent overall. 9/10

X-Men 2 is, together with The Crow and Batman Returns, the best comic book adaptation ever. An extremely skilful mix of psychology and action, an interesting and smart story, dialogue that doesn't drag, great visual effects and last but not least excellent actors. I ate it hook, line and sinker, and I hope Singer still enjoys doing this and that we can expect a long, pleasant franchise. Carry on.
