Great action film!

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2006)

I marked spoiler just out of noting one thing...the pace is very crisp. To me the film truly has the pacing of a great comic book. It's obviously very fresh at this point, but ignore the haters and go see this. X2 is still my favorite of the 3, but I really admire the movement of this film. I will agree that the Phoenix story gets short shifted mingled here with the Cure story, but it still works. As posted on Chud, I do hope this series continues. And finally, Ian Mckellen is just flat out magnificent as Magneto. His anger and focus on his ideals really come through in this one. Bravo! Go see it. The story works. The effects are quite amazing. It will reside in my collection and from the visual standpoint, I do want a version in HD. The best thing I can say is that I'm going again this weekend. It was worth pulling my lazy arse outta work to see the midnight show, but I wanna go again, now.
