Mutation isn't the key to evolution

Rating: 4/10 (26 August 2018)

Despite some decent special effects and some pretty good acting, there's not much to like about this mutant muffle sequel. Now I know that people do like this film (there are even a selected few that call it the best X-Men film), but I present that argument with me saying I have my own opinions. Got it? Good. Anyways, let's continue.
The reason why I don't like X2 that much is because it focuses too much on bringing us the action rather than focusing on the actual story. You see, what made the first film pretty decent is that it balanced on the action and the story. This film is a full-blown action flick that tries to look cool rather than be an actual movie. Granted, the action scenes are fun and exciting, but those are the only moments when the film tries.
In conclusion, X2 is nothing but a poor man's rehash of the first film, trying too hard to get people on the edge of their seats rather than sparking any sort of interest.
