(4-25) Regis & Kelly -
Regis stated today that he recently saw X2. He said that he "Didn't get it." He told everyone that they need to see X1 before they see X2, because he didn't understand it...he didn't understand why Mystique was blue, he said that Storm's eyes turn yellow, and that knives come out of Hugh Jackman's hands. *everyone roll eyes at the same tme* :D Thanks to TNC

STICKY) X2-Movie Review #1 - Trusty spy Mr. X gives us the details on X2!

Saw
X2 a couple days ago! My jaw is still dragging on the floor after what I saw! Now, I'm going to give you my opinion on this film, but please be aware that I can't reveal many spoilers to you. Why you ask? Because the people at FOX will kill me...seriously. They told all of us that we could not reveal what we saw to other people. We actually had to sign a piece of paper!

So I'll say this.
X2 is everything X-Men wanted to be. While the first film lacked good effects, good fight scenes, this one reigns supreme. The special effects in this film are mind boggling! Halle Berry's Storm and Famke Janssen's Jean Grey get some of the most spectacular scenes. if you watch X-Men after seeing this film, X-Men is going to look like crap...I'm sorry, but it's true.

As far as characterization goes, I found
X2 to handle it well. A couple characters did seem under-developed, in my opinion. The most notable ones being Cyclops and Deathstrike...but with a cast this big, how can that not happen? Cyclops isn't given much to do in this film, although he does have a major moment in the film. Deathstrike feels like a robot. Nothing more...but don't get me wrong, she kicks ass in every single way, and in a fantastic style, but I really don't feel like I know who she is supposed to be exactly. She barely had any lines in the film.

I found the kiddies to be very interesting though. So many powers are displayed in this film, it's like a mutant circus. I'm not a big fan of the comics, so I'm not sure who was supposed to be who, but there are many unique powers these kids show. One kid is some freaky telepathic mutant. He does some seriously weird $h!#.

The story is much better than the first film. It leaves a far greater impact in the end, and you do end up caring for these characters. Besides a couple characters, I can say I cared for most of them. The ending made me wanna scream, yell, laugh, and cry at the same time. This movie really effected me in a way I never imagined possible for a comic book film. It really makes you think.

All in all, I gotta say that this film is something special. Daredevil, not even Spider-Man compares to this, in my honest opinion...and it's not because of the effects, it's because of the story.
