[[imdb:0290334 X2]] is the latest installment of the X-Men comicbook movie adaptations. It mostly picks up where the last movie left off, only now the different factions of X-Men must band together to fight off carefully crafted anti-mutant sentiments.

I didn’t know much about this movie when I sat down to view it, and that might have helped my enjoyment. I also never read the comics, so I would have expectations and therefore no let down there. I appreciate the fairly heady themes that are presented in this movie, you could view the strifes the mutants have in the world of men as a thin metaphor for any outsider.

The effects are amazing, which almost goes without saying now. The actors all do a fine job, and wow is Famke Janssen hot.

Overall, this movie was very entertaining.
