Premise
In the Bryan Singer sequel, the X-Men try to stop a mutant from assassinating the U.S. President.
Thoughts
It's been a while, but I recall enjoying it even more than the original. It had a stronger story because less introductions were needed, they could put in more complicated subplots, and you could see them setting things up for the third movie. Once again, Hugh Jackman and Sir Ian McKellen stole the show with bad-ass presence and scenes, such as Magneto's wickedly cool prison escape. New addition Alan Cumming was fantastic as Nightcrawler.
What I would change
Still no Gambit?
