A piecemeal rehash of the original X Men movie; same old conflicts, and less humorous than it's predecessor.

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2003)

More X-Men politics, and obnoxiously correct ones at that. This simplistic, over-produced sequel takes it's allegorical drama of racist politics so seriously that it loses momentum after the first ten minutes. It's strictly for those who consider comic books high art, and another tedious exercise in franchise cinema. The trailers for MATRIX RELOADED and THE HULK which preceded the film only made the experience more mundane.
