Spoiler--What a waste of my time and money! I liked the first movie. I liked the characters. I liked the second the movie, and I liked the characters. The addition of nightcrawler in the second movie was very nice and fun to watch. By the way, where did he go? Anyway, 20 minutes into the movie, my wife said, "I really like the fact that the same characters are in this movie." "Same actors, you mean," I corrected. "The characters could have been replaced by different actors, but the characters would have remained the same." "Exactly," she said. "It makes it seem more continuous, like it was a real story. That makes it cool." Well, I agree with her. And then, I realized that the actors must've wanted out. Because they killed off characters mystique, rogue, charles xavier, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Magneto... Considering the first movie had each of those characters, and I revisited the series to follow their stories, it makes no sense to strip them from the movies. Now, the only reason to watch is to see Halle Berry? I don't think so. How about Hugh Jackman? Well, I guess he is going to be doing a solo project about Wolverine in 2008. Well, I guess if the movie had lasted 10 more minutes this would have a been a solo project too. And that is not what I wanted to see...
