very disappointed

Rating: 2/10 (1 April 2005)

I finally got round to seeing Xmen 2 on DVD, and to say I was disappointed is an understatement.
As a long-standing fan of the comics, I liked the first film but this was just wrong.
It was apparently based on a brilliant graphic novel called "God Loves, Man Kills", this basically had three themes.
Connection between abuse of religion and bigotry
The ease that mobs can be driven by fear Road to redemption
Somehow the film loses all three and is just another action movie
I say apparently because although the basic plot is the same, all the layers that went into making the graphic novel a classic are missing
