| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
X2: X-Men United Movie Rating: 
Delightfully Entertaining | |
| The good and evil mutants are back, and this time they have to fight together against Stryker (Brian Cox), a government agent who wants to destroy them all. Stryker abducts mutant Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart), intending to mind-control him and use his computer to locate the others. The kidnapping unleashes the fury of the mutants, who harness their various powers to fight back. | |
| A passing familiarity with the comic book - or at least a viewing of the first movie - will help viewers sift through the large cast of characters and their powers and allegiances. But even the uninitiated may enjoy the fast-paced fights, action, special effects, and costumes in this delightfully entertaining comic book come to life. |
