Nightcrawler was freakin' incredible to watch, and I loved Storm's development. I greatly enjoyed seeing Scott vs. Jean and Pyro's darkening. Magneto and Mystique were just fantastic. Magneto's escape is now one of my favorite on-screen escapes, just behind Shawshank and Silence of the Lambs. Those iron balls smashing back and forth as he walked along was maybe my favorite visual of the whole damn film. A close second would be Nightcrawler's Rogue rescue. The end scene was very well done. I was very very well-teased. Ahh, I need sentinels and Juggernaut, dammit!I now rate this movie, as a comic movie, just behind Superman, my number 1. By all rights Otis should push Superman behind X2... X2 really is the better product as a consistent whole, but Reeves' Supes is just too perfect... So I give this a biased 2nd place. For anyone who will want to post "why bother ranking good movies?", it's a geek habit. We organize our beloved.Oh, to live in such an age, when comic book movies are being made regularly, and a good number of them are very very good. Long live Avi Arad and Saint Stan. Here's to THE HULK's being in the same ballpark...</blockquote>
