A little disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (30 April 2003)

First X-Men Movie was really great for the superhero motion picture. But, this sequel is a little disappointment to me. There are some impressive special effects. Especially opening scene with Nightcrawler is really memorable and well-directed, but most of action sequence is not as good as first one. But that's not a problem. I really don't like about X2 is vague plot and insensitive love stories. And I think Wolverine's storyline - especially about his past - should be better, too. Alan Cumming does a excellent job and Famke Janssen and Kelly Hu are also good to see. But Patrick Stewart, Anna Paquin and James Marsden are completely wasted here. It seems Brian Singer was too ambitious about this project. But as a fan of superheroes Movie, I think next X-men movie should be more action-oriented and have less love stories. 6.3/10
