I saw X2 last night and my reaction is this:
Deep breath...
What a fucking movie! Fucking A* on all levels.
Now I have never bought a comic in my life - I never heard of the x-men before the first film - whch i loved - and since then have caught the cartoon occasionally.
Anyway - i loved it. It was just... brilliant.
I especially liked the addition of nighstalker to the cast - very well used throughout the film.
One of the best bits was the little chunk of homo-eroticism between Professor X and Cylclops at the end as Jean speaks through the professor. I swear they concidered kissing but thought better of it - they were enjoying that a bit tooo much.
Tho the nest bit was blatently when wolverine opened the fridge and the shot pointed upwards - fridges look weird from that angle.
But - i didnt buy Pyro leavin with Magneto - he wouldnt do that.
And for a 12A that was violent - much more violent than the first film. I am old enough to see any film I want - but even I was cringing at the fight between wolverine and lady deathstrike. Just slashing and healing and slashing again - and when logan was lying on the gauze and she kept stabbing him..... looked great but i swear it would warp some kiddies minds
overall... predictable in parts but i always forgive movies that - because it was fucking good!
opinions please?
