X2 *spoilers*

[Enforcer]

His name is Peter Wingfield. He's done small stuff here and there since Highlander the series ended. He was the bad guy a few weeeks back on John Doe for instance.

He also had a recurring role on Stargate SG-1, as a Go'auld spy among the Tokra (sp?).

I really liked the movie, they bulit on what they did in the first movie. I do have a couple of issues;
1. More colossus would have been nice.
2. The reason Professor X fell for Jason was the general put that inhibitor on Him.
3. For next movie: Juggernuaght(SP).

I don't think you missed that much.
*scene summary snipped*

Thanks! Just wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything too important. I agree, that scene had some very cool moments in it.

Pyro: "You know those dangerous mutants you hear about on the news all the time? Well, I'm the worst one." ::Boom!::

Wolverine: Stands up, cracks neck, walks away, ignores cop.

 

[Dinkeldog]

Oh, that scene definitely rocked. Orbital said the movie picked back up where Storm, Nightcrawler, and Jean were on the jet, so I couldn't tell if he'd seen Pyro freak out or not. But I included it because it was so cool.

I liked Rogue's solution to the problem.

 

[Bagpuss]

Iceman's brother storms off to his room and calls 911 to report intruders in their house. His mom blames herself for Bobby's mutation, and Pyro says that the mutant gene is passed on through the males, so actually it's all her husband's fault.

This made me wonder if Bobby's brother is in fact a mutant and in denial and fear about the whole thing hence his reaction at Bobby's display of power.

Can't recall anything about Bobby having a brother from the comics however.

 

[Artimoff]

In the museum, Jean's powers were interfraeing with the electronics. I'm guessing that is why Jean left the blackbird. An all around kicka$$ flick.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Loved every minute of it...in fact, I'll be seeing it again tommorrow.
My ONLY slight complaint is the lack of my all time favorite character. Angel. No. No ARCHangel. Angel! But I guess since we saw Archangel's wings...we'll never see Angel himself. *sigh* He was so cool.

 

[JacktheRabbit]

The link posted is dead so what is Project Wideawake?


Also the mutant in question WAS mastermind for sure. He had the one blue and one brown eye. That is the one dead giveaway.


One thing that really got me in this movie was the killing. In the first X-Men the only death is the Senator. No one else gets killed. Then in this one Wolverine goes on a killing spree and really gets his character right.


Wolverine I feel was hit perfectly in both movies. He really isnt that great a fighter in my opinion. He is tough and all but between his regeneration and skeleton he is used to letting people hit him quite a bit. I get the impression that in just abou every fight he is in he ends up bleeding very quickly just because he doesnt care.

 

[Silver Moon]

Can't recall anything about Bobby having a brother from the comics however.

That's because he didn't have one, he was an only child. His parents were actually aware of his power, and tried to hide it from the world due to anti-mutant sentiment. He used his power in public to protect a girlfriend, and then later to save his parents from mobsters. The police then took him into custody for his own protection, and then Professor X intervened.

The movie's interpretation of the reaction from Bobby's family was actually a very good composite of family reactions shown in the comics, most notably when Jean Grey's family was first told.


(I was just trying to be funny in my earlier post, as you can see from above, I am a huge comics fan. I have a collection of around 12,000 books, including around 500 or so with the title of "X-Men")

 

[Decado]

I thought the movie was great and even better then X1. I was never a follower of the X-Men comics but I may start picking up some of the Essential Comic collections to learn the background of the X-Men. I am also trying to talk my buddy into running a superhero campaign, something we have never done.
