Film: X2 (2003)
Director: Bryan Singer

Running time: 02 hours, 13 minutes
Rating: 8/10

A final film before The Luce heads out of London and we are back to the superheroes. After being disappointed by X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it was time to watch a film in which Wolverine shines, and there are a few more superheroes that we know well to back him up along the way.

Until First Class came along, X2 was, in my opinion, the best of the X-Men series. There was little in the way of character introduction, which with large ensembles can slow the film down a little, so this film feels like it moves a little quicker than the first movie in the series. Alongside the action, there is a little more exploration into the background of the characters, which makes the film, and the X-Men universe, seem a lot more well rounded.

All in, a great superhero action film.
