Huge Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2003)

After seeing the first Xmen movie, I was very excited when the second movie was released. First I must say I have never read the Xmen comics but I was captivated by the script and the action in the first movie and I was expecting a lot from Xmen 2. However I was disappointed, especially the at the end when Iceman could have easily solved the problem by freezing the water in the dam!!! The plot was spotty with some characters being developed (Woverine, Magneto, Mystic) and some were just used as extras ( Cyclops, Rogue, Pyro). Having said that the action sequence and the special effects were amazing, it was obvious where all the money were spent.
So overall it was a good action movie with the usual spotty plot, so typical of the action movies. Unfortunately that movie is one of the many sequels which do not live up to the promises and are just 'the search for more money'.
If I were you I will save my money till the next Lord Of The Rings comes out.
