X-men 2

what did you think of it

***IronParrot*** · 05-05-2003, 01:43 AM

Am going to see it as soon as I finally get around to seeing the first one again. I haven't seen the first one since it came out three years ago. I remember thinking that it had a lot of sequel potential.

Anyway, I'll be posting my thoughts here soon.

I liked it. They did a good job of making it still seem like a comic book with the camera effects and special effects and stuff. For example, the extreme close-ups on some character's eyes is a very comic-book thing to do. Also, slowing down and speeding up different parts of action scenes make it pretty interesting.

I also like how Phoenix has a good intro/foreshadowing without giving too much away and leaving plenty of room for more sequels -- yay!

X-Men 2 was...was... oh good golly gosh it was just light-years better then the first one. Watching Pyro being corrupted into Magneto's Brotherhood, Wolverine's fight with Lady Deathstrike, my beloved Jean Grey phoenixing out like that. Oh I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Whoever would have thought that I'd get such a charge from seeing Siryn of all people on screen?!!!! And those little touches like Hank McCoy on the tv or Colossus using his powers, even better that moment when Colossus tells Wolverine "I can help you," but Logan turns down the help for the sake of the kiddies, setting up a potential "fireball special" that doesn't transpire in this movie but could very well still and now MUST occur in episode three. Edge...of..my... seat.
BUT...

Huan · 05-05-2003, 03:21 AM

On a strictly nit-picky note, the opening: Nightcrawler (my favorite X-Man mind you) kicks arse all down the West Wing of the White House, incapacitating every Secret Service man in the joint on down through the Oval Office. My quesiton is: ummm, why doesn't he just teleport into the Oval Office and catch the president off his (and the Secret Service's) guard? That's just logic. Sure it looks better the other way but c'mon.

Varda Oiolosseo · 05-05-2003, 08:09 AM

I sooooooooooo can't wait to see it! I loved the first one!
I'm off to see it in a couple of hours!! I can't wait!

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-05-2003, 09:08 AM

Me like plenty.

I remember I had some minor complaint, but I can't remember it now...

Lalaith · 05-05-2003, 10:13 AM

I want to see it. But somehow I don't have the money. Damn. Will go at the end of the month. Hurray. Can't wait to see it.

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-05-2003, 10:36 AM

I know this will shock everyone, but my favourite X-Man (besides Storm

) is...-gasp- Nightcrawler!

Indril Anarion · 05-05-2003, 03:36 PM

I LOVED it!!!! It was a million times better than the first! My fav X-Men are Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, and Pyro (has the attitude, but is sooo cool)

Mystique was so cool too...when she snuck into the underground base and makes it in, while shooting a bird to the bad guy...so cool!
I give it 5 out of 5 stars...
There has to be a third movie...there's just gotta be!

Lalaith · 05-05-2003, 03:41 PM

Damn, I want to see it. See evil Ian McKellen

***Jonathan*** · 05-05-2003, 03:42 PM

I want to see Gambit, he's my favourite X-man.
Is he included in the film?

Firekitten2006 · 05-05-2003, 04:50 PM

Because if he can't see where he's going, he might end up half-inside a wall or something. That was where that whole faith thing came in with Storm later.

Huan · 05-05-2003, 07:54 PM

oh yeahhhhh...never mind

.

Satine · 05-05-2003, 11:37 PM

doesnt any one like kitty, the one who walks throghwalls, othewise known as shadowcat, she is so kool, she rox!!!! well i think so !!!!!!!!!!!!! She is sooo kool even in the cartoon one episodes

Millane · 05-06-2003, 06:16 AM

god it was so awesome!!! soooo much better than Spiderman and now im thinking it will be better than the hulk... i loved Colossus i agree totally with Huan... gotta go see it again. Magneto's scene with the guard was absolutely awesome... One minor complaint was lack of blood the good blood was the flashback of wolverene but the rest was alright but should have been like wolverenes flashback... I loved wolverene in this because he reminded me and my friends of another friend who is a beer pig just like wolverene and oh so many similarities

ooooooh i couldnt help noticing another aussie up to 4 now soon we'll be ruling this entmoot

Huan · 05-06-2003, 05:02 PM

I love Kitty Pryde, Satine. After Nightcrawler she was my favorite mutant as a kid (it's now rapidly becoming Jean Grey). In fact, when the first movie came out I was a little disappointed that they kind of turned Rogue into the Kitty Pryde figure. I'm over it now

. Oops, afternoon showing in twenty minutes; don't want to be late for my second viewing of it.

FoolofaTook · 05-06-2003, 08:39 PM

Great film. Loved the scene when the commandos infiltrated the school and Wolverine fights them. I also liked the foreshadowing of Pheonix.

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-06-2003, 11:02 PM

Gah! Evil spoilers!
