X2 *spoilers*

[Viking Bastard]

Maybe it's just a phobia of his.

Maybe he used to teleport like crazy as a child then someone told
him watch out or he'd become one with a wall.

Since then, he wets his bed every night.

 

[Ferret]

Ever run into a wall? No, you know it will hurt, don't you?

I think nightcrawler was the best character/best portrayed, in the bunch.

The smallest amount needed to portray a character: Collosus.

Maddest attack scene(not a real fight): Toss up between Mystiques entrance, and magnetos.

 

[Victim]

I was thinking on one thing when the film ended;

-What happens to Nightcrawler when he teleports to an unseen location?

[Probable answer] -He´s likely to materialize into a wall and die

-How does he know?

Well, I wouldn't really want to teleport into a solid object to see what happens. Would you want to risk it?

Re: Nightcrawler knowing not to teleport into a wall.

Maybe he once did it to very lesser extent, like accidentally getting part of a finger or toe in the wall. That part is no longer there, and hence he'd prefer not to experiment further. It seems that from the movie, the comics, and from the cartoon that young mutants have to do a lot of experimenting to get their powers under control. Some obviously lock it down better than others (Bobby seems to have good control, as does Pyro, even though he went a little psycho. Rogue seems to have better control of when to let go and how to use someone else's power, though she can't "turn off.")

The movie was so much better than the first one, and I liked that one as well.

My only complaints are the accents. Namely, the boston police didn't sound like they were from Bastin, and Colossus didn't sounds like a russkie.

Overall, a spectacular movie.

Iceman has always been my favoite X-Man, and i hope he ices up one day, and gets his sled on!

That's okay, because, contrary to popular belief, very few Bostonians have the Boston accent.

 

[krunchyfrogg]

I'm from NY (A Mets fan), and I drove up to Fenway to see a Mets-Red Sox game a few years ago, and there were some accents going on there!

I didn't really notice it, though, in the movie. I did have a problem with Colossus not having a thick russian accent though.

I loved this awesome movie. 5/5. I'm going to make my fianceé watch the first one so I can take her with me to see X2 now!

I only hope Hulk can live up to X2.

I missed the Archangel wing X-Ray, I'll have to look for it next time. Hopefully he'll be in the next movie. And I want more Beast! Hairy Beast!

I loved this movie!! Much better than the first, partly because there was no need to deal with the "origin" issue.

And here's another tidbit that I seem to be the first to note here (and it makes a nice corollary to WizarDru's explication of the Phoenix Saga):

When Stryker puts his report on the President's desk at the beginning of the film, he's wearing a signet ring with the symbol of the Hellfire Club plainly engraved on it.

I admit I am largely uninformed on some matters.. but, I have to ask. What is the Hellfire Club?

(Obviously, given the context, has some relation to the Pheonix Saga).

The Hellfire Club is a group of powerful superhumans (usuallymutants, but not always) who do a lot of "Behind the scenes" manipulation of people, economics, and politics.

They do relate to the Phoenix saga, but their role in the movie cannot quite be what it was in the comic. In the comic at the time, Jason Wyngard (Mastermind - Stryker's son in the movie) was the "Black King" of the Hellfire Club (the top members are named after chess pieces). Mastermind drove Phoenix insane to become Dark Phoenix.
