Ebert On X2: "I tried to experience the film entirely in the present, and the fact is, i had a good time. Dumb, but good."
The Star Wars Franchise Of The New Millenium?
An X2 Review From Down Under
"When this movie comes out Friday, it's gonna make Drug Dealin' Dollars!" (Latino Review)
Harry Knowles Loves X2 So Much Fox Should Just Cut Him A Check For Publicity
"Though not quite adult and geek friendly, the sequel is organic popcorn entertainment with state-of-the-art effects and stunts that will leave even the most jaded viewer breathless." - Leonard Klady, Movie City News
"I'm supposed to be in the position [to illustrate a bit] we were doing then Hugh just grabbed me and gave me a big, wet kiss. I was very disoriented and couldn't fully appreciate the moment." - Ray Pride, Movie City News
The best comic book film ever made. Better than Spider-Man. Better than Superman. Even better than Howard the Duck. - Nick Nunziata, CHUD
The film isn't perfect, it doesn't offer the best one-two punch to end things off, it goes a little long and it certainly doesn't spend enough time with all of its characters, but... - Jo Blo, JoBlo's Movie Emporium
They may be using the words "mutant" and "human" quite generally here, but they're really flying the flag for anyone a little different to the norm. - Clint, Moviehole
"It lacks a plot, but it has atmosphere to spare"
- Philippa Hawker, The Age
"Fox has a presummer hit on its hands that should rack up substantial box office numbers and might even give Warner Bros.' The Matrix Reloaded a run for its money." - Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter


"Everything is bright and noisy and in your face apart from the actual plot, which sneaks about in the shadows, desperate not to be caught and forced to explain itself." - Barbara Ellen, London Times

"The lack of ingenuity or innovation in ``X2'' is a bitter disappointment, given director Bryan Singer's reputation for cutting-edge earlier work"
"It is an introspective action movie with special effects and intriguing emotional resonances."
"We just saw better special effects on CNN and Al-Jazeera—and more ass-kicking, which X2 sorely lacks."
-Brian Miller, Seattle Weekly
"The yummy Romijn-Stamos could start her own Las Vegas mime act: Blue Man Boobs".- Richard Corlis, Time

X-Men 2
Directed by: Bryan Singer


"My chief complaint is that these mutants are a little—well, vanilla. I wish the X-Men had a touch of kinkiness to go with their weird abilities."
