Well done!

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2003)

X2 is very well done! I was an avid watcher of the cartoon way back when and my fiance an avid reader of the comic. They did a pretty good job of following the comic but in the spots where they didn't follow the comic is becomes evident later as to why they didn't. The special effects are great! Even though Mystique is a "bad guy" I liked the fact that she had more screen time in this one. The special effects for Nghtcrawlers teleportation were great. And by the way for the ones who said he is satanic, he is not satanic. IF you read any of the stuff on the web sit or the comics you will find that he is deeply religious. It was a church that Jean Grey and Storm found him in and I believe there were gargoyles in the church which are believed in many cultures to ward off evil. I believe also nightcrawler is Hungarian and it is common for people of the hungarian culture to be religious.
During the last few minutes for any one who read the comic you will be able to tell that they are setting up for the Dark Phoenix Saga. Especially when they show the large bird like shape in the water at the very end.
It is unique to see them having to be allies in order to defeat a greater threat!
