Parkesy:
I didn�t like X-Men2 as much as the first one. This is probably because the bit I liked the most about the first one was finding out about the different characters (the only thing I knew about the X-Men was what I read in Twisted Mego Theatre). I dunno, it also just lacked a little something that the original had. Maybe it had 10% more of Mystique�s boobs and 10% less love. That said, I still liked it.
Rating: RATE!
H.P.K.:
Yeah I can't say there's going to be much controversy here. I'd almost go so far as to say Parkesy hit the nail right on the head.
X-men had that discovery thing going. The whole concept of mutants being explained and played out was pretty cool for mine. On the other hand, I thought X-men 2 had a better dose of action, and dwelt on the mutants I liked a little more. Also thought Wolverine was a much tougher psycho in X-men 2 (the difference being they added the psycho). But all in all, I'd probably put them down as equals. A good set of two movies to watch in a row for sure.
Stupid positive reviews. Where's the hatred?

This movie sucked! How the Hell can you say it was good??!! I mean for crying out loud, Wolverine gets shot in the head and the bullet goes right in � but his skull is made of frigging indestructible metal, so how did it go in? Wouldn�t it just bounce off his forehead? And those cops getting shot with a huge fireball and all they get is some sooty makeup on them? And Cyclops� super ray vision thing can blow the damn roof off Grand Central Station but when it hits a person they just get knocked back and go �oww�. And why didn�t that security guard die after he got an entire syringe full of mercury injected into his body? More holes in the plot than a vagrant has in his undies.
I also thought that the gaffer and the second wardrobe assistant didn�t know their ass from their elbow.
