Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 0024543092100 Edition: 4 deleted scenes Format: Closed-captioned, Color, Special Edition, NTSC Label: 20th Century Fox Languages: Manufacturer: 20th Century Fox Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: 20th Century Fox Release Date: November 25, 2003 Running Time: 132 minutes Studio: 20th Century Fox Theatrical Release Date: May 02, 2003 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: X2 does a fine job of picking up where X-Men left off, giving fans more of what they liked the first time around. Under the serious-minded custody of 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) who's determined to wipe out the mutant race by tricking Xavier into abusing his telepathic powers. More a series of spectacles than a truly satisfying thriller, X2 introduces new mutant allies while giving each of the X-Men alumni--notably the temporarily helpful Magneto (Ian McKellen)--their own time in the spotlight. Well aware of the parallels between "mutantism" and virulent intolerance in the real world, Singer lends real gravity to the proceedings, injecting dramatic urgency into a continuing franchise that, in lesser hands, might've grown patently absurd. --Jeff Shannon Description: The evolution continues in this "exhilarating thrill ride" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) that features the extraordinary original X-Men - along with amazing new mutants possessing fantastic powers that have to be seen to be believed. In the wake of a shocking attack on the President, the X-Men face their most dangerous mission ever. They must stand united with their deadliest enemies to combat a menace that threatens every mutant on the planet. But could this new alliance backfire and annihilate the human race? Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Hale Berry, Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos star in this breathtaking, action-packed spectacle that "may be the best superhero movie yet made!"

 Rating:  - Not as fun as the first but still good.After the stellar first movie I decided to watch this one also. I didn't like the story as much as the first one. The acting is still amazing, but the story.........blah. Its ok it just didn't hold my attention for very long. The fx are amazing as always. Is X - 2 a must see? For fans of X-Men, yes. For the casual viewer, probably not. I'll recommend a rental if your curious. Rating:  - WOWHugh Jackman is Hot! Full of action and adventure and one of the best marvel comics around. If you liked the first Xmen then u will like this one too. I cetainly did... Rating: - Amazing sequelNot only did X2 set the standard for the five plus sequels that came out in the summer of 2003, it's has replaced Blade 2 as my favortie comic book sequel since Superman II. From the opening action with new mutant Nightcrawler we know we are in for a amazing ride. The action sequences are taken to the next level in the film, the script is witty and there's a few surpises for us hardcore X-Men fans. Bryan Singer has made another great film in this sequel and hopefully he'll reedeem hisself with the ...

We join them as Wolverine returns to Prof. Xavier's school after a fruitless journey to Alkali Lake in Alaska, where he believed he might find clues to how he became what he is. Meanwhile, anti-mutant hysteria is mounting in Washington, fed by the sinister Southerner William Stryker, who has a secret agenda. In pursuit of ... Read More Rating: - Way better than the firstSuper hero movies can be rather tough to watch. They are either very good (Superman) or very bad (The Hulk). X-Men 2, is probably my favorite Super Hero film. It doesn't even compare to the first movie. That is so rare for a sequel. Aside from Halle Berry, the rest of the cast is enjoyable and fun to watch. We really get to delve deeper into their universe and deeper into certain characters. We learn more about Wolverine, Prof X, and Jean Grey, just some of my favorite characters. Nightcrawler is also ... Read More |
