| Well, I reluctantly saw this movie last night, didn't know what to expect. I hated the first movie with a passion, an hour and a half of pontificating and watching wolverine get beat up did nothing for me. So I was ready to rip into this movie as well, truth is, I really can't. X2 is not a bad movie, actually it's pretty good. I still have the gripe of wolverine not being bad ass enough, but hey, I'll get over it.(maybe) This movie was longer, and far more ambitious than the first. Some of the elements of storyline were similar to something I've been writing, something I'll now need to modify to not resemble this movie.(Damn you Singer!) The movie looks much better, the fx is very well done. The acting, aside from Halle Berry is good. I'd probably like the movie even more if I wasn't such an avid comic book collector, the comics have forged an image in my mind of what the movie should be. If you look at it with an open mind you won't be dissappointed. One question, why have Ice Boy in the movie if he doesn't get to do anything? Was having him in the movie more important than having Beast? I'd rather seen him than Nightcrawler any day. Nightcrawler was cool though. And another thing, why no accents? Storm's from Africa, Colosus is from Russia, but neither have accents, maybe I'm just nit picking. All in all, not a bad movie going experience. Xmen United 6.9/10 xmen 4/10 |
