X-Men 2

Bryan Singer 2003

I hadn't seen the first film so was kind of worried that I might not understand a lot of what was happening, but that wasn't the case.

While magnificent entertainment, it was surprisingly heavy going with regards to some of the issues its raised. Racism, politics of war, homosexuality, religion, faith, them and us and ideas of who is the real enemy.

Lots of lovely men to look at.....sexy bald Dr X and sexy hairy Wolverine. Some excellent fight scenes, especially the opening one in The White House. It was left very open ended so I expect another sequel is planned. Possibly would have been better if it hadn't been so straight faced but hey, thats Hollywood.
