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.

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.
