A limp and unengaging sequel

Rating: Null/10 (26 January 2008)

"X2" is a poor and uninspiring sequel that fails to hit the mark. Despite an exciting opening featuring a mysterious assailant in The White House, the movie soon becomes a tired, plodding affair with little to engage the viewer, despite some impressive visuals.
The film fails to create any genuine excitement and the high calibre cast is wasted in this big budget offering from Bryan Singer.
The appeal of this movie is simply lost on me.
6 out of 10. A few big bangs and an "A List" cast is simply not enough to warrant over two hours of screen time. Absolutely average at best - if I'd paid money to watch this at the cinema, I'd have been even more critical.
