Question What is the best adventure movie(your own opinion and ratings is what I'm looking for).Please include a description of both.Thank you.
Answer The best adventure movie to me was X-men 2 because I'm a personal fan of Marvel comics. Rundown on the other hand isn't my favourite at all. X-men 2 starts off where the first one ended. All the characters are back (except the ones that perished at the end of the first one) including my favourite Wolverine. This sequel gives you a bang for your buck. More action, comedy, drama and overall special effects extravegenza. The Rock or Dwayne Johnson had his chance to prove to me he was worth while in the movie "The Scorpian King" and that movie just didn't sit well with me so I wasn't as enthusiastic about the Rundown. That said I'm not saying dont watch it because everyone has their own opinion but in my knowledge I would place X-men 2 above The Rundown. Also The Rundown is more of a comedy, so X-men 2 and The Rundown are completely different from each other. When I saw X-men 2 I rated it a 10 out of 10 because where sequels stand this one delivers. The Rundown I gave a 6 out of 10 because although it was funny it just didn't deliver in the end.
X-men 2: When a shocking attack by an unknown assailant possessing extraordinary abilities points to the work of a mutant, the political and public outcry for a Mutant Registration Act is renewed. Leading the anti-mutant movement is William Stryker, a wealthy former Army commander and scientist who is rumored to have experimented on mutants. Stryker's mutant “work” is somehow tied to Wolverine's mysterious and forgotten past. As Wolverine searches for clues to his origin, Stryker puts into motion his anti-mutant program beginning with a full-scale military offensive on Xavier's mansion and School for the Gifted. Magneto, newly escaped from the plastic prison he was incarcerated in, proposes a partnership with the X-Men to combat their common and formidable enemy, Stryker.
The Rundown: Beck doesn't look for or try to make trouble for anyone. But trouble is what he's hired to clean up, and there's one final mess he's got to get out of before he can leave it all behind. At the center of his current trouble is a wise-ass named Travis, a fast-talking double dealer whose dad has commissioned Beck to retrieve from a lingering adventure in Brazil. Travis proves to be more of a handful than Beck expected, not only because of his mouth and his heels-dug-in reluctance to leave, but because of a couple of other complications he brings with him: Mariana, a no-nonsense local who holds the answers to some of the jungle's hidden mysteries, and Hatcher, an unhinged despot who has turned the jungle and its inhabitants into his own fortune-making, gold-mining empire. Beck doesn't like to fight. But he's going to have to unleash everything he's got to keep on top of his smack-talking quarry, the girl with the secret, the crazy tyrant, the horny monkeys, the hallucinogenic fruit, the backs-to-the-wall rebels, the perilous terrain, the hidden traps and every other obstacle that this jungle throws at him.
I hope this helps you out a bit more and Thank you for your question.
