X2 is a great all around movie, but it definitely has flaws. Overall, the acting is good, not great, just good. The mutant powers are exaggerated or portrayed wrong in general, such as wolverine's healing ability. The ending to the movie was absolutely terrible! Iceman has the ability to turn things into ice, and when the dam breaks he could easily turn all of the water into ice (or at least enough to protect the x-men jet), and even if he was somehow knocked out, rogue could steal his abilities for a while to freeze the water that is rushing at them. But instead, Jean gets out of the jet and stops the water (so the jet doesn't get destroyed by the oncoming water) and soon as the jet takes off the water washes Jean down the river, leaving a reddish bird in the water. Which means the next movie will be about the Phoenix Saga with Jean, because Jean did not die in this movie even though it looks that way. In conclusion, the movie was over all good, but the writers must have been sleeping when the ending was written because it was terrible (meaning they should have found a different way to get rid of Jean, or at least use the same way and make sure Iceman and Rogue are not close enough to help). With the ending it is still a great movie and everyone should see it. I can't wait until the next X-Men movie comes out.
