@finfan I recently watched all the X-Men movies and I must say I prefer them to the MCU. The problem of not being accepted (since the mutation is feared by others) and the evolution of humanity are more compelling themes for me.
Plus, what a great cast we have!
X2 works really well, yes!
@andreas1138 Good to hear from you.
Yes, I totally agree. I, too am watching all the movies again and must say they do stand a better test of time as the story still has meaning today. I even rated a couple of them up. In general I like the newer ones more now as I think the relationships between the characters are worked out better and they have more depth.

Much better than the first one. I can't point on single thing out that I like better. It's just that the whole movie felt like something carved from a solid billet instead of put together from several pieces. I am sure the experience from the first helped as much as the fact we didn't have to introduce every character. The additional runtime helps adding depth and detail and the climax really felt dramatic.
It's a lot of things all over that makes this a step up from X1.
