X2 left me somewhat speechless, I was in aw to see some characters I wouldn't think would be in it, like Colossus for example. A small role yet a very exciting on screen cameo.  Professor X's mutants are united like the title says, and back stronger and better than ever.  Marvel did a hell of a job compacting the movie, it really flowed well and kept a pace I liked.  The fact they show you Iceman's family and a little about his relationship with Rogue added your sensual part to the story. 

Magneto and his escape from the plastic prison was fantastic and Nightcrawler was exceptionally well done. The first scene of the movie could have been the whole movie and I wouldn't have left disappointed.

Verdict: An exceptional film in all fields, pleased me and the rest of the theater. Definitely worth seeing if you haven't already.

Rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence and some sensuality.

P.S. Wolverine kicks ass.
