X2 does a great job of picking up where X-Men left off, giving fans more of what they liked the first time around. Under the care dedicated to returning director Bryan Singer, the second film of this Marvel Comics franchise ups the ante on Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and the superhero mutants from the first film, pitting them against a mutant hating scientist (Brian Cox ), which is determined to destroy the mutant race by tricking Xavier into abusing his telepathic abilities. Plus a series of shows in a truly satisfying thriller, X2 introduces new mutant allies while giving each of the former X-Men - including temporarily helpful Magneto (Ian McKellen) - their own time in the spotlight. Well aware of the parallels between "mutantism" vicious and intolerance in the real world, Singer lends real gravity of the proceedings, injecting dramatic urgency into a continuing franchise that, to a lesser hands, might've grown patently absurd . - Jeff Shannon
