 Sometimes the second time is always the best time Hey guys, so this is my review for X-Men 2 Now are called X2 as they did a lot on the posters now. This is probably if not One of the best the best X-Men films of the entire series I'd say it ranks up there with first-class and days of futures past But really I would say that first class in this film are My favorite films of the entire X-Men series. There was so much Development from the first film in the second film the entire arc with Jean Grey was so well done the love triangle between Cyclops Wolverine and Jean Grey was actually really well done It wasn't stupid immediately Cyclops is still a little bit of a pansy But I actually think they did a really good job with this film The one thing that I find very funny is that this film spawned one of the worst X-Men video games in history if I'm correct, which was X-Men 2 Wolverine origins or origins or something I don't know it was mainly about how Wolverine became about and then the worst movie in the X-Men series spawns one of the Best comic book games of all time. I've been playing this the last few days and holy crap I played it for a week once and it's still one of my favorite video games of all time So X-Men 2 what made it so good? Well the entire arc of every character the idea that Wolverine was trying to figure out who he was and even though he was Afraid of the person who caused all this pain that took away his memories and turn him into a monster Sort of he still is drawn to him because he wants to know the whole idea that Magneto is being tortured by But if I strike her to figure out and how to capture all the mutants at Xavier's place the Opening with Nightcrawler is still one of the it is okay You know everyone talks about how quick silver scene and days of features past was really good No, no in my opinion single awesome one character moment of Super coolness is still the White House scene at the beginning of X-Men 2 that scene was so well done and at the time The effects were so good and they're still really good and it blew everyone's freaking mind Seen Nightcrawler do that and then to see them all come together at Alcalai Lake at the end of the film Have the interactions that fight with the night whatever her name was long-ass nails Which again that doesn't it doesn't really explain how she has the nails because in other sayings They say that Wolverine was the only one who could survive the anti-mantium process I don't know how it doesn't really make sense with her, but either way Striker Brian Cox is a fantastic actor. He's on the same caliber of Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart So to see three absolute powerhouse British actors in this film was fantastic to watch the Mystique was also really cool too. I liked how she was kind of villainous, but not so much It was more so that they had to work together When they go to Bobby's house and seeing that fear that his own family tries to turn him in that was so well done That was really a deep sort of moment for the film to show that there was still the segregation this fear even of your own family and Then the ending the ending with Jean Grey and the water I was like holy crap. That was so cool when I was a kid. I remember thinking wow That was epic and then when you see the Phoenix rise in the water I didn't really know the full extent of it, but I had seen the Phoenix episode of the animated series Love that theme song either way Minutely that arc was completely ruined by Brett Ratner But every aspect of X-Men 2 is so well done the fight scene at the at the mansion Wolverine's search and journey for his own idea all his own night identity the whole aspect of X Xavier being used as a weapon and showing the full extent of how bad Technically how much power he had he almost killed the entire human race before he almost killed the entire mutant race So and then that ending at the White House you kind of wonder well Xavier saying, you know, there's a war coming He's like well, bro, you caused it technically with cerebro and everything that so I Really really wanted to see what Brian Singer would have done with X-Men 3 I wanted to see not only the whole a much better And much better Phoenix arc, but also just what were the implement? Implications of what happened with the entire almost all of the humans dying Sure, they have the cure thing in the third film But I really wanted to see what Singer would have done with that to be this film is near on flawless I can't think of an issue that's wrong with that if there is is a little note in the Cranny because this film is Fantastic, so in the end I'm gonna give X-Men 2 a 7 out of 7 It is a phenomenal movie. It still stands up Singer Knocked it out of the park this while the first film was the pinnacle of Comic book movies. This one showed how good they could be Anyway, guys, that's all for me X-Men Well the last stand is coming up next This is not Wolverine Origins
