The Movie Court welcomes a movie review by a new guest reviewer, who goes by the sobriquet of "Norro."

X2? Xcellent! This sequel is the Xception to the general rule that sequels are never quite as good as the original. The original movie spent Xcessive footage introducing the characters and the concept. The sequel Xpands on the original concept, and introduces three new, promising characters, Nightcrawler, Pyro and Iceman. Ian McKellan is Xcellent as Magneto. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is finally able to Xtricate the ghosts of his dark past. The special effects are Xtraordinary! X2 is about 30 minutes longer than the original, but it leaves you salivating for X3 (or will it be XXX?)
