X2 / 3 (tv)

Rating: 4/10 (14 April 2015)

Well, if the first movie is really great, this one has always left me cold. Sure, there are a lot of good things : Wolverine, Prof X, Magneto, Nightcrawler, the attack of the mansion, the escape of Magneto, the game to find other mutants (the new mutants, Colossus, the beast), the mixing of iconic Xmen comics story (the sacrifice of Jean, Count Nefaria). But there were also a lot of garbage : iceman, storm, phoenix effect, Pyro, cyclops If the production is splendid and the effects rather well done, the movie never really takes off. Maybe it's the editing, maybe Stryker is a poor choice of villain, maybe it's much too dark or the fact that their mutants powers are rather invisible but at the end, it was not really enjoyable.
