anyone who wants the movie pm me...
ps:1.3 gb free hard disk space required and preferably a fast connection :)
Well...the movie was not so bad. However, I felt extremely old (I'm 19). lol..so many kids there. The effects were incredible, but the story was all right. Movie was too long, but all in all it was a good movie. Would give it 6 stars out of 10.
"Catch me if you can" is coming out on dvd! That movie was really good..better than Xmen-2 hehe.

well there are a lot many movies that are better than X Men 2 and Catch me if you can....
This is not the topic being discussed....what we are discussing here is how good the movie is in its own self....
Just saw the movie, I think it was good, not too good though, I expected more action. The story was really good, much better than of the first one.
.
Umair :nono:
That’s not nice! Don’t ruin it for the people who haven’t seen it yet. 
it's a kewl action packed movie...offcourse better then first one...
In case you didn’t know, that was a joke, I just made the ending up. 
Brilliant movie 9.9/10

Chill dude. I know that was what was being discussed. I voiced my opinion on what I thought of the movie. Just thought some people should know that a certain movie I saw was good as well. It's just a message board, we have the right to say whatever we want as long as it's not vulgar or demeaning to anyone. :)
Umair, no i didn't know cuz i haven't seen the movie, but just to protect the masses i had to edit. :D
I agree :k:
I don’t know why everyone has been saying such good things about this movie. I thought the first one was miles better.
Things I didn’t like about X-Men 2:
{Spoilers Warning}
[list=1]
[li]Finale:
[/li]
There was no “finale”. The Statue of Liberty scene at the end of X-Men was a perfect example of a great finale. A big showdown in a spectacular location where everyone gets together and fights it out. Where was the finale in this movie?
[li]Flying, eh:
[/li]
Where was all the flying? I realise that the X-Men don’t have to fly in order to win, and I also realise that only a few of them can fly. But after seeing them fly in the first film I was really looking forward to seeing it again. Especially after seeing the fantastic airborne battles between Spiderman and The Green Goblin last year. The closest anyone came to flying was when Magneto rode on a flying metal disc, which was cool.
[li]Evil hideout:
[/li]
I didn’t like the underground hideout near a dam. Seemed a bit corny and a bit dismal.
[li]Boring:
[/li]
The film had a really slow start. Hardly anything happened in the first half hour. Was there any point to having a 5 minute scene of Wolverine walking around in the snow smoking a cigar?
[li]Emotion? Yeah right:
[/li]
Unlike the first movie, which was packed full of emotion and character building, this movie had virtually no emotional undertone to it. The only emotion in the whole film was the brief scene where Logan comes on to Gene and kisses her.
The first movie was a very emotional and human story about personal discovery and racial prejudice. This movie was all about… er… anyone?
[li]Killer-Babe:
[/li]
I absolutely hated that “female Wolverine”. She was on over the top slut and such an obvious attempt to get the male audience drooling. Putting her in a tight leather catsuit and dolling her up for a fight scene just made me cringe. Can’t a female be a baddie unless she’s a supermodel?
Oh, and I really hope it wasn’t supposed to be a surprise that she was a “Wolverine” all along. Because the clip of her showing her blades is just about the only thing I’ve seen on TV this past couple of months.
[li]**Cyclops is bad now?: **
[/li]
At one point, Cyclops appears to get captured by the bad guys. The next time we see him (about an hour later) he fires a shot at Magneto and Mystique who are walking in front of Gene. From this one shot, Gene infers that Cyclops is now under an evil influence (even though he only fired at the two bad guys) and Gene immediately stars attacking her boyfriend without saying so much as a single line of dialogue to explain to the viewers that he’s probably under evil influence.
And then, seconds after a heated battle where Cyclops is blasting the heck out of Gene. He suddenly comes up and gives her a hug. That mind control thing wore off pretty darned quickly!
[li]Great ending:
[/li]
She dies. They get all upset and mourn her. Then we see her talking while the shape of a phoenix appears over the water. How is anyone supposed to understand that ending unless they’re familiar with the comics?
[li]**Where will they all sleep?: **
[/li]
So the mutants’ school/hideout is no longer a secret. 
The raid was on every news channel on the planet by the looks of things. Where are they going to live now? No mention of this problem at the end of the film of course. We’ll have to wait until the third film to know that the mutants are safe.
[li]**I think I’ll be evil today: **
[/li]
Errrr… so now Pyro has become a member of Magneto’s evil group? This sort of “going over to the dark side” is a welcome addition to a movie - where it’s justified. But this movie made no attempt to put in the groundwork to Pyro’s descent into evil. One minute he’s a good guy with a bit of a temper, then he sits next to Magneto and has a 30 second chat, and then the next minute he’s a fully fledged baddie! Wow.
[li]**New characters: **
[/li]
What new characters? Sorry if I was given the wrong impression, but before I saw this movie I was under the impression that we would meet some new X-Men or new bad guys. We got ONE new character. Nightcrawler, yeah yeah. A character who played a very minimal part in the movie. Oh, and don’t forget we lost two characters from the original movie (Sabretooth and Toad).
[li]Pointless scene:
[/li]
The scene where Mystique snuck into Wolverine’s tent and pretended to be Gene was a nice touch. However it would have been much more welcome if it was justified by the plot. ie if she had an actual reason to go into his tent. Perhaps she could have been trying to find something out from him? Perhaps she could have beein trying to hurt him? No… she apparently just went in there for a laugh and it had no relevance to the plot whatsoever.
[li]**Who died and made Wolverine king?: **
[/li]
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the first X-Men movie was very much all about Wolverine. The story was more or less told from his perspective, as we discovered who the X-Men were and how Wolverine got his metal skeleton.
So, after one whole movie almost dedicated to Wolverine, which of the X-Men get to take centre stage in the second movie? Er… apparently it’s Wolverine’s turn again. I guess the creators decided that all the other X-Men aren’t really very important compared to Wolverine. Let’s make him the star.
[li]**What happened to Gene’s hair?: **
[/li]
In the first movie, Gene was this really gorgeous long haired brunette… in the second movie she has short ginger hair. Eeew! I honestly didn’t recognise her until someone said her name, and then I was a little taken aback.
[li]**That’s good varnish: **
[/li]
Pyro stands in his porch and trashes his neighbourhood with fireballs. Explosions. Police cars flying everywhere. And then afterwards… oh, his house looks immaculate.
Okay, I didn’t hate it all. I loved the schase scene with the jets. (Although it seemed a little contrived just to make an action scene. I mean, we didn’t even see anyone issue the order to attack the jet).
By far the best part of the whole film was Magneto’s escape from his cell. That was the kind of thing that should have happened all the way through the movie. If only the film had gotten better from that point like I’d hoped, instead of peaking.
[/list=1]
I’m really sorry because I love X-Men and I wanted this movie to be as good as the first one, but it really bored me and it just felt like a pale immiatation of the original movie.
Perhaps it’s simply because the first movie was just a totally pleasant surprise and I had no idea what to expect. Whereas this one had to live up to a lot of expectations. But I honestly didn’t enjoy it anywhere near as much as I enjoyed the first one.
whoa!..superb analysis PT!..
P.T. I CAN'T BELIEVE U DIDN'T LIKE IT, INFACT U ACTUALLY LIKED THE FIRST ONE BETTER? WHOAAAA, THAT'S A FIRST. FOR ALL OF U WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT, I THINK IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY. N E ONE KNOW IF THEY SHOW GAMBIT IN THE NEXT ONE? HE'S MY FAVROTIE. BY THE WAY JUST WONDERING, WHO HERE THINKS THAT ELVIS'S DAUGHTER WOULD HAVE MADE A MUCH BETTER JENE GRAY OR ROUGE? ESPECIALLY ROUGE SHE'S NASTY IN THE MOVIE. I PERSONALLY THINK THE ONLY ONES WHO LOOK NE THING LIKE THE CARTOONS WERE PROFESSOR X AND CYCLOPS. BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG GIRLS I STILL LOVE HUGHE JACKMAN. OH AND MY COUSINS NOTICED THE RING TO, BUT R U GUYS SURE THAT IT WAS REALLY MENT TO BE ALLAH, MAYBE IT WAS JUST A DESIGN.
Its definitly better than the first one.

I reckon I've explained it well. :)
Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman rox!!!
Mystique and Magneto stole the show!!
Oh and that idiot Helly Berry has been promoting negative publicity since her character didnt get any limelight... She can goto hell, and she has already announced she wont be coming back for part three.

Unfortunately, Halle Berry is only a showpiece in this movie. Jean Grey simply stole the show whenever the two were on the screen together. Nonetheless, I think it is unfortunate that Berry won't be coming back for part 3. She is one of the original mutants after all.

What do you think about Mystique? I think she was the real babe in that movie!!! She made the other mutants look like kids.
