THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!! (Spoilers, minor)

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2003)

This movie was amazing. When I saw the first one, I hadn't even HEARD of the X-Men. I didn't know their story, their saga, their legacy, or even that the X-Men was a comic book. The first movie entrapped me and this movie, the part two was nothing less. The special effects were incredible, all of the characters were BEAUTIFULLY portrayed, the storyline was very intense, and it once again left an enormous opening for the next movie many of us are anxiously awaiting for.
Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, James Marsden, and all other cast members did an INCREDIBLE job. Anna Paquin and Halle Berry are the two Oscar winners in this group and play Rogue and Ororo Munroe, AKA Storm. Hugh Jackman had again a very large part and Halle's part was far bigger in this movie than the first.

For Anna Paquin fans, in this movie she takes off the coat that she covers herself with in the first movie, takes off her shyness and begins to live a little bit more. She looks absolutely gorgeous in this movie and begins to evolve into the comic book Rogue who was very sexy and sassy. By the next movie, Rogue will be hot. For people who want Anna's character Rogue and Logan, AKA Wolverine together, this movie does not hold as many precious moments between them as the first film. :( They share an embrace but that's....pretty much it. Rogue's character has a boyfriend in this movie, Iceman, AKA Bobby, and he wants to kiss her badly but she is resistant because she doesn't want to harm him since her mutation is that anyone who touches her skin is seriously injured. But Bobby's pretty tenacious himself. :)
For Logan/Wolverine fans, the movie goes much deeper into what happened to him that caused him to lose his memory and who the people were who did massive experimenting on him, nearly killing him in the process. He does find some answers but those answers of course lead to more questions. For people who want Jean and Logan together, you guys do get something.

For James Marsden fans, oh he is cute! LOL. For Scott/Jean fans, you guys get something too. :)
Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan are FABULOUS as always, and the new characters, Night Crawler, Lady Deathstrike, Pyro, and many of the children are given a great part. If you're a fan of any of these actors and or an X-Men fan, you'll be thrilled.
I'm not even a science-fiction fan but this saga, the X-Men has got me so obsessed I think I need a 12-step program! This is incredible, but see the first one before you see this one. They are both luminous. :) Any questions, e-mail me at Para8Dice@aol.com.
