Everything was great or utterly stupid.It was plot hole central (note that I'm only using the movies as a frame of reference, I think it's unfair to do a straight comparison to the comic):1) Nightcrawler was super badass in the first scene. I knew from that moment that he would be incompetent by comparison for the rest of the film. They could have done some kind of brainwashing explanation (make him a sleeper agent), but they just went with the drip. Lame.2) Magneto giggling like a school girl at Rogue on the plane. 3) The whole break-in to the base. They had Magneto with them, and then they launch this complicated plan to attack a base mostly made out of metal.4) Magneto giggling like a school girl at Rogue on the plane. 5) For that matter, why didn't Magneto and Mystique just steal the jet and go themselves? They didn't need any help, and bringing the others along is just asking to get thwarted.6) Magneto giggling like a school girl at Rogue on the plane. 7) The worst scene of the movie was the Jean Grey death scene. When your climax is the worst scene, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. If Jean can flip all those switches from outside the ship, there was no reason she couldn't have stopped the water from outside the ship.8) Magneto giggling like a school girl at Rogue on the plane. 9) At the beginning of the movie, and on the plane, Nightcrawler had no problem teleporting where he couldn't see (too accurately for my taste, actually). At the end, he was scared he would run into something when he was about to teleport through a door. Last time I checked, most people don't build walls on the other sides of doors.10) Magneto giggling like a school girl at Rogue on the plane. 11) Wolverine could smell who Mystique was in the last movie. Why not this one?11) Magneto giggling like a school girl at Rogue on the plane. 12) In the plane chase scene Magneto sealed up the blackbird. When they were flying back to Washington, the hole came back. I thought that was an appropriate analogy for the whole movie.13) Magneto giggling like a school girl at Rogue on the plane.  WTF???But just so that you don't think I'm all negative, here's what was good:1) Pyro was consistently interesting, and the scene outside of Bobby's house when Rogue had to stop him was excellent.2) The prison escape scene was marvelous.3) Wolverine wasn't acting like a teenager like in the last movie.4) Jean showed much more personality than before.5) Mystique was done better this time around.6) Lady Deathstrike, while still lame, wasn't as lame as in the comics.7) The cameos were well done and not distracting.8) Nightcrawler (my favorite X-Men character) was done well about 70% of the time.I also disliked the idea of Professor X concentrating and killing people. While not a flaw, it was silly.The movie came across like it was written by 14 different people who didn't talk to each other. Individual scenes were good, but it was so horribly inconsistent and full of plot holes that it didn't click as a whole film.</blockquote>
