Not the first R-rated superhero movie, nor the first superhero comedy film, nor even the first movie to feature Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson, but it does a good job of appearing to do something new and different, and has lots of good jokes. Garrulous mercenary volunteers for special procedure in attempt to fend off terminal illness; basically ends up with cancer as a super-power.

The plot is really very secondary to the style of the film, anyway, which is all about being very irreverent and transgressive towards the perceived conventions of the superhero movie; there's a bit of a straw man argument being made here, but the action is well staged and it is, as mentioned, very funny. Not the future of the genre, no matter what people may say, but a well-crafted piece of entertainment nevertheless.

Fans had to wait three years for the release of X2, and with it came a much better film in almost every way. By introducing new mutants including Nightcrawler, played fabulously by Alan Cumming, to proceedings, X2 was a triumph in the superhero genre that brought this untested genre into the mainstream. The opening scene in which Nightcrawler tries to assassinate the US President is one of the best action sequences put in a superhero film, with perfect pacing and great tension building.

The character Ghost (0 more)
It's rare that a superhero film has no bad points and you actually care about the supporting characters,this film is just that ,Michelle Pfeiffer looks great (so does evangeline lilly) and Michael Pena adds some really funny comic moments to a film that is already a funny film ,all in all a great sequel to a great superhero film only let down by the character of Ghost ,with an all star supporting cast like michael Douglas and Lawrence Fishburn it's a great way to spend 2odd hrs
