As much as X-Men did, the sequel X2: X-Men United, released 15 years ago this week, doubled down and truly showed what comic book movies could potentially be.
X2: X-Men United, as goes the full title, was released in 2003.
As good as those movies still are, there was, and still is, something truly special about X2.
Growing up, it was the X-Men and Spider-Man that I most connected with in the world of Marvel Comics.
