X2: X-Men United is an improvement over its predecessor in just about every way. Better story, better effects, better action, and more interesting mutants.

He is a determined military man who manages to get the US President to give him carte blanche to take on and eliminate the mutants after a failed attempt to assassinate him in the White House. "Magneto" (Ian McKelle…
