All of it. No complaints at all. And I think the thing I loved most is that they did almost no recounting of the first film. They let us get on with enjoying the new stuff...Nightcrawler (BAMF! BAMF! BAMF! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />), Collussus (finally! I loved "I could help you..." to Wolverine...shame that he didn't) and all the little nods and winks to other characters (Jubilee is also mentioned by name very briefly).This film is hugely influenced by the comics, with so many little touches, it's wonderful. I didn't spot Gambit or Frankie Richards, but I'll have a look when I see it again, cos I will see it again.And the Phoenix foreshadowing, I'm proud to say, I spotted when Jean's eyes went kind of fiery when she was trying to destroy the missile. I thought - "Nah...they wouldn't...but maybe..." and then right at the end, the subtle pointer to the fans <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Much better than the cheesy 'hand rises above the water' trick, and it will leave many people guessing if they don't know the universe.I also figured the President was going to announce the start of the 'Sentinel' program or something at the end, but the moment when the Xmen appear in the press conference was downright spooky!Loved it. Wonderful. Back to see it again early next week, I think.</blockquote>
