Plot:
Already living in a society that mistrusts them, the mutants are faced with even more discrimination after an unforeseen enemy - who may be a mutant with extraordinary powers - launches a devastating attack. The news of the assault causes a public outcry against the mutants, including renewed support for the Mutant Registration Act, and William Stryker, a military leader rumored to have experimented on mutants (possibly including Wolverine), is among the most vocal supporters of the legislation. Stryker puts into motion a plan to eradicate the mutants and begins an offensive on the X-Men mansion and school. Magneto, having escaped from his plastic prison, forms an unlikely alliance with Professor Xavier to stop Stryker. Meanwhile, Wolverine heads north to investigate his past.

Genre: Action/Thriller/Adventure

Rating 88 8 out of 10

Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action/violence, some sexuality, and brief language

Notes:

This movie had a good plot as far as plots go. But it jumped around way too much. I was kinda hard to keep up with. Plus, the ending was bullshit. It just ended with many questions left. It should have had a better ending but, besides that it was a kick ass movie. It also kept up the same vibe as the first film.

Bottom Line: BUY it or rent it. Especially if you liked the first one.
