The X-Men band together to find a mutant assassin who has made an attempt on the President’s life, while the Mutant Academy is attacked by military forces and students taken hostage for a sinister purpose.

The best opening scene of any comic books movie to this day, X2 successfully captured the magic that the first X-Men movie had and added to it with the inclusion of Ellen Page and more screen time for fan favorite Wolverine. Easy to recommend to modern audiences!
