Loved it!

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2003)

The opening scene was awesome!! Ok, so it's not following the comics. I don't care. We need to realize how difficult and lonnng a movie would have to be, if they followed the comics. The 'alterations' are well worth it. I liked how the writers kept bringing up characters. Colossus, Beast, Shadowcat, Gambit, Jubilee, Siryn. Don't know exactly who the kid changing channels on the tube was, though. After two movies still no sign of him. Please write me if you know. All in all, can't wait for X3. With the obvious introduction of the Phoenix, it should be good. I think by mentioning all these characters, and not actually using them now, the writers are keeping the doors open for X3,4,5,6,7 and beyond. They do need however to lay off the Wolverine saga and develop Iceman and Rogue, since they have already made them a part of these movies. Rogue is learning to control her powers. I would like to see Bobby Drake all 'iced up'. Hellfire Club anyone? Although I like Magneto, he needs to take a backseat now. The possibilities are endless. I think they should do what they did with Lord of the Rings and just shoot X3,4 and 5. Actors get old and replacing them is not the same. Make Mine Marvel!!
