X-Men 2
Director: Bryan Singer
Starring: Alan Cumming, Brian Cox, Famke Janssen, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos
Details: US / 111 mins / (12PG).
Bigger and certainly brasher than the first movie, X-Men 2 benefits greatly that the overwhelming majority of the fine original cast have returned to reprise their roles, while more action has been injected into the mix. And though the industrious Singer doesn't disregard the characters completely, it's clear that the emphasis of X-Men 2 has shifted somewhat. Yet it's to the director's credit that, for the most part, he handles the material with no little skill. And even though there are misfires - Cumming's porky accent and his character's religious fever being chief amongst them - and it drags a little in places, X Men 2 is a blast.
