X-Men 2

Three and a half stars. Pretty good.

Longer, with more secondary plot lines than the first film, it felt like a good "superhero film", but it just didn't excite me in the same way. I kept waiting for a bigger climax to happen, but eventually it didn't. There have been a lot of really good superhero films lately. Am I just feeling spoiled by quality, or disappointed that this wasn't the new Matrix film?
