As great as the first X-Men is, it's basically just a brilliant warm-up for X2. More than almost any other Hollywood spectacle I've seen, X2 can be uniquely labeled as "big-budget art." It's a big epic with a very large and varied cast of characters, plus with about a bajillion action sequences, but as always, there is something artful about director Bryan Singer's execution. Like the first film, X2 deals heavily with the real-world political ramifications of the mutant situation; in fact, the last half of the movie takes place mostly in an underground military compound as the mutants are under attack from a prejudiced general (the brilliantly evil Brian Cox) and his platoon of soldiers. It all comes to an end with a breathlessly thrilling and ultimately tragic climax as the seeds for a pivotal story arc are sewn...
