Synopsis: The mutant community is shaken with the news of a drug that has been developed to revert mutant individuals to normal ones. Meanwhile Jean is revealed to be alive, but her dark side has emerged and threatens to take over her personality. Magneto plans to destroy the facility where the drug is being manufactured, along with a mutant subject who is being used by the researchers at the facility.
Appraisal: I don't know exactly why, but this installment of the series was the most endurable one to me. I think the whole series is overrated, and really more suitable to adolescents than to adults. I think it was Jorge Luis Borges who once said "In cinema we are all readers of Mme. Delly"; he was right of course, but the phrase should be updated for modern days to "In cinema we are all readers of Stan Lee". Yet the film is not so bad, and I wasn't too bored either with its action scenes filled with special effects or with its addressing of the theme of minorities and how society deals with them (and vice versa).
