Total waste of $9.50

Rating: 1/10 (12 May 2003)

First and foremost, I thought the first X-Men was an average to dull movie and it in no way merited a sequel. Hollywood of course has different agendas. This sequel is horrible. The first 30 mins of the movie move along rather well and have some nice special effects, but that is where the fun stops. The last hour is so drawn out and boring that I and my co-watcher were nodding off at times. The plot is bad, and the script is poorly written. Can anyone answer me these 2 questions? (1) Why is it ok to kill off goverment soldiers, but it is not Ok to kill police officers? For some reason no police officers were hurt during the filming of this movie, there faces however were covered in soot from exploding cars 1ft from them. Meanwhile army special ops soldiers were gutted left and right with no limbs spared. (2) Why can this band of mutants accomplish incredible feats time & time again without fail, but when faced of the task of trying to avoid a wall of water closing in on there location with 30 mins to act the best solution they can come up with is to sit in a broken down state of the art 'mutant' jet (which for some reason has no ejection seats) and look dumbfounded? WTF? And people are raving about this pile of junk. The damn teleportin' crawler could have teleported them all 1 by 1 to a nearby mountain top in 5 secs. Nice script writing. I can not believe this movie is going to inherit yet another sequel. Tragedy at it's finest. There was two awesome things about the movie though that I forgot. The preview for 28 Days Later, and the preview for Matrix 2. I'm out.
