THANKS TO ITS NOSTALGIC 2D ANIMATION STYLE, SMART WRITING, AND CAPTIVATING ACTION SEQUENCES, CRITICS SAY THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO X-MEN: THE ANIMATED SERIES IS "X-QUISITE."

DOES THE WRITING AND ANIMATION DELIVER?

The pace can be dizzying, but when rendered in the pleasantly throwback, neon-colored, two-dimensional style of the original, it’s also engaging. There’s no time for things to drag when the plot is this packed. 

— Alison Herman, Variety

WHAT ABOUT THE ACTION SEQUENCES?

The action sequences, like the recently released clip of the team fighting the mutant-hunting Sentinels, are easily the standouts.

— William Goodman, TheWrap

The animation here is evoking the original designs, but modernizing them with flair, as everything looks more dynamic, the characters are vibrant, and the action scenes are truly jaw-dropping.

— Ross Bonaime, Collider

The action sequences are thought out so well, with interesting camera angles and movements with such fluidity as the characters move on the screen.

— Julian Lytle, RIOTUS

ANY FINAL THOUGHTS?

Absolutely no notes. It’s perfect.

— Tessa Smith, Mama’s Geeky
