Unlike many others I didn't enjoy this sequel as much as the first film. I found the story here to be very underdeveloped and mutants powers needed to be sort of edited along the way to make the plot go the way intended. In other words it felt a lot like patchwork. I didn't really learn anything more about the characters than I did in the first one, which you really should with a 2 hour plus film. The Wolverine, cyclops , Jean , love trio doesn't really work for me. None of them are very good at acting it out and it just feels extremely forced. Professor Xavier's role is minimized and I just wish he could be used more .
Magneto of course is an excellent villain played by the perfect actor. He's sneaky yet subtle and delivers his lines brilliantly. Stryker on the other hand is kind of a run of the mill villain and not particularly memorable.
Overall this movie is still so much better than a lot of the Marvel stuff we get now, but that really isn't saying much.
It still certainly encourages you to watch the next one in the series.
