FIRST IMPRESSIONS
To put it simply, this movie delivers in spades everything the first one lacked. The script is far tighter, the stakes are much higher, and the characters really come into their own. The plot centres around a plot to exterminate all mutants, and you actually find yourself really impressed by how close it comes to succeeding. There are a couple of welcome cameos in Kitty Pryde and especially Colossus. My favourite moments include Pyro's character arc and the scene where Mystique exploits Wolverine's feelings for Jean Grey, and the final climax is just incredible. Everything in this film works, and in my opinion it blows the original out of the water.
My rating: 80%
