8.9/10. A better sequel.
X-Men 2 is Bryan Singer's bigger, better X-movie where he has Professor Xavier's mutant heroes team up with Magneto's Brotherhood to stop a mutual threat in the form of Colonel Stryker, a compelled Lady Deathstrike and his son, who is a powerful mutant. Joining in is Nightcrawler, and many cameos that if you blink you might miss them such as Kitty Pryde, Jubilee, Dani Moonstar, and Siryn. Generally better written and more entertaining that the first film, though teasing about the Phoenix was a tad cruel to fans. Still fun to see after 16 yrs.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Storm and Nightcrawler rush to rescue the children from the holding cell, you see a shot of the cell where the children stand up and say "Listen..." before Nightcrawler teleports inside. If you look carefully, you will see Nightcrawler's silhouette in the shadow against the wall. (01:27:50)
President McKenna: What's that?
William Stryker: A jet.
President McKenna: What kind of jet?
William Stryker: We don't know...but it comes out of the basketball court.
Trivia: During the scene in the bar with Mystique and the prison guard, the person on the TV is Dr. Hank McCoy - this is the real name of X-Man The Beast.

Answer: The president is delivering a live address on television. The storm would make an excuse for the break in the signal.
