This movie rocked!!! The difference between this one and the first one is night and day. I liked the first one, but it left you wanting alot more. This is the one that gives you alot more.

Tons of action and fighting. Mystique is a pleasant surprise and gets some wicked **** cool use in this one. You'll definitely like her! Lady Deathstrike (Kelly Hu) is just flat out HOT! Oh man, she has a seriously hot exotic look. You'll love her in that black leather outfit that she was born to wear.

There were some characters I wanted to see more of, but I guess you can only fit so much into a movie before it runs too long.






Spoiler below...








Fans of the comic and TV show will see what most likely will be the plotline for X3 at the end. Watch Jean Grey, then look at the water at the end just before credits. Can you say...Phoenix!
No excuses!

    Glad to hear you liked it. I'll still wait for the DVD.

    One thing about the 1st was it's lack of a comic book feel. How's X2, comic book like feel or just an action movie?

    Spider-Man had a heavy comic book feel, which I loved and the Hulk looks like it might have the same feel.


    Peace Out~:D

    X2 was a good movie. Seemed like it was gonna keep going and going though. The Hulk looks stupid as hell, IMO.

    I don't like movies where the main character is a CGI creation. That's one of the things that made me have no interest in the Mummy Returns.......

    Matrix 2, or whatever it's called, looks good, except I don't like how predominant all the endorsements are. Mazda made it clear in X2......Cadilac in Matrix. I know it's a part of the deal, but for some reason, it was as if scenes were written in JUST to fit in the product......

    Just saw X2. I liked it a lot. Even more than 1st one. I think Hulk is going to be an awesome movie. I think the people that won't like it are the ones who were used to the TV show. I think Hulk is going to really be like the comic version.

    X2 rocks, like what they did with NightCrawler, good story, has a more plausible story feel than the comics. Characters are identified with, which makes it enjoyable. Plus its long comic book run helps too.

    Hands down the second one out-did the first. I thought the first one hand too many cheesy lines (you know, the Storm line with the frog guy).

    y.....agreed. What was up w/ that line anyway? They could have thought of something a helluva lot better.

    That was one of the biggest reasons that I didn't like Storm from the first movie. That, and her character was so bland that it was almost hard to believe that they wanted/intended to grow her character at all.

    There was a line in X2, that I can't think of right now, that Wolverine says that was *RIGHT* up there with the cheese from the first one........

    I just saw it tonight, unbelievable, the whole plot is just terribly clever. favorite line: Magneto - "There's something different about you today..." <excludes rest to not spoil it>

    x2 is such an appropriate name, it really is twice as good as the first one! (x2 = times two, for those still rocking the the 3rd grade out there..)
