X-Men 2

I usually make use of rips, when I\'m undecided on a movie pick.  If I think it MIGHT be good, but not sure of it, I watch a rip and if it\'s good, I\'ll go to the theater.  They\'re quite usefull for screening out the absolute crap (read Glitter)

I just saw it

mystique = yummmmmmmmmmy

wolverine kicked ass and I think The Phoenix is HOT!!!

KEWL NMAN!!!!!!! GHONNA GO C IT TIHS WEKEND!!! :D

Just got back...

An absolutely amazing movie, enjoyed every minute of it.  In case anyone is wondering, it\'s leaps and bounds better than the first movie.

Storm was actually put to good use this time, as was Jean.  Cyclops didn\'t do nearly as much this go round but I have a feeling he\'ll play a big role in the next movie.

Wolverine was kick ass, but Night Crawler was and is still my favorite character of the series.  

I do have some questions though that I may have misunderstood from the series or just missed in the movie.  May contain spoilers...

1) Isn\'t Night Crawler Mystique\'s son?  When and where do they make the connection?

2) What happened to Stryker\'s son?  I assume he got crushed but I\'m not sure.  I saw the place falling apart and blinked, did I miss something?

Spoilers Ahead

It\'s so damn exciting to think of what will be for the next movie.  Most obviously will be the all important role of Jean as the Phoenix.  I expect there will be even more familar faces such as Jubilee (made an appearance at the end), Gambit, and maybe Beast.  

Who remembers what the Phoenix story was all about?  I don\'t remember what the purpose was but I do remember it being quite destructive and powerful.

Saw it tonight. It was better than the first (which I hated), but I still had problems with it.

(1) It seemed alittle long and near the end I was hoping for it to end.

(2) The Jean Grey story-arc is obvious. I never liked the Phoniex saga and I don\'t want it to make it into the movies.

There was some other minor plot elements I hated, but other than that it wasn\'t to bad. Nightcrawler transferred to the silver screen a lot better than I had imagined he would.

Oh and Heat, I deleted your posts. Keep the piracy talk out ! End of story.

There are lots of connections that the movies don\'t seem to be making (such as Yuriko being Wolverines girlfriend...I think, it\'s been a while)

(2) The Jean Grey story-arc is obvious. I never liked the Phoniex saga and I don\'t want it to make it into the movies.

Yah, I hated that, too.    The whole thing was just plain stupid, IMO.  Hopefully, the movies don\'t put as much emphasis on it....

In the movie, do they explain more of Wolverine\'s history, and do they get it right? (He was born in Canada in the 19th century, bone claws etc...)

There were a few parts of the movie that didn\'t really follow the comic book series but there is just so much action and good stuff going on, that I\'m sure even the hardcore Xmen fans will still enjoy this movie.

Do yourself a favor and go watch it. I plan on watching it again, probably with Ryu again so I can bug him during the movie and say stuff like DUUUUDE KELLY HU IS HOT!!! SHE CAN PIN ME DOWN ANYTIME...and other mature comments like that.

When you guys do go watch it, I just hope the audience you are watching it with don\'t suck. THe crowd I was with was awesome. ALot of clapping and cheers during the funny and kick ass parts of the movie. It really makes the movie experience more enjoyable with a fun crowd.

Long story short...X men two rocked...nuff said.

His side of the story is about his past, but you don\'t really uncover it.  It\'s all a mystery..... a hazy mystery.

Saw the movie last night, and personally, I loved it.  (some minor spoilers may be in the rest of this)  The early nightcrawler and wolverine fight scenes were so nice.  I also loved the way that they had a large part of the story focus on Wolverine figuring out about his past.  Personally, I also liked the way they did the movie from the standpoint of someone who was an X-Men fan going in.  The movie seemed designed so that you\'d understand the plot and enjoy the movie a lot if you didn\'t know anything about the comics going in, but if you did know about the comics, there seemed to be a lot of orther little things you could pick up on.  

Personally, however, I also hope that they don\'t center the third movie around the whole Phoenix thing.  I liked the connection they made at the end of the movie, but I think that with only three movies there are much better things they could focus the third movie on.

Hell yeah im goin. Rouge is hot, and nightcrawler is my favorite. Boo to no Gambit though. I thought i was the only one

well, i saw it last night

MUCH better than the 1st one

[sp] i LOVED how they made wolverine MUCH more violent in this one.  the scene where he impales the 1st spec ops on the fridge and screams in his face was haunting[/sp]

[sp]That was great.  It actually gave me a shock, because I\'ve watched the Cartoon series for a long time, and he NEVER stabbed a human.

That just made him totally badass. :wedge:[/sp]

MUCH better than the first one. Wolverine is still the badassest person ever. Nightcrawler is sweet with his quickness, etc. As a non-X-Men fan, I still say it\'s a GREAT movie.

yea, it\'s good when a AUSSIE plays one of the most important roles.
