Actually I think I might have a new fave Marvel adaption. No horrible lines like the toad line in X-Men and the characters I had problems with in X-Men (Storm & Cyclops) really improved in this second film imo. One of the few nits I have to pick is the apparent killing of lady Deathstrike, and the way she died. One particular thing I was surpised about and liked alot was the whole Jean Grey thread. I really didn't expect the film-makers to use the Phoenix Saga at all...I thought it would've been too hard to deal with, without dealing with all the Shi'ar stuff. But the foreshadowing in X2 looks like they can do it. The whole episode of her death very much reminded me of what heppened in the comics...pretty good work from the writer given they chopped the links to space out. I particularly liked that fine shot over the water, where I thought at any minute Jean would rise in her Phoenix form. Bring on X3 I say...</blockquote>
