X2

2003 ****1/2 134 mins.

In this second outing for the X-Men, the good and bad must unite to defeat one man whose intent is to eliminate all of the mutant population. The characters are given much more depth and the story far surpasses the first film. The special effects are still as magnificent as the first.
Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action/violence, some sexuality, and brief language.
