Frozen, your thread was merged with Vicious' one

Now, I think I can spend a couple of words on the movie, even if later than others.

There were some good things about this movie, and some bad things too. Magneto/McKellen was the real star IMO. His acting is fabulous as usual. Extraordinary stuff, really. Mystique's scenes are also amazing. They alone make a great movie. Other positive note for Wolverine, who sounds more convincing than in X-Men part 1.

But some other characters... god god... what happened to them?

Storm/Berry acts all the time like a weepy girl who's having some problems with her haircut, Professor X is just pathetic, completely different from the character I liked in the first movie, Rogue is completely lost and almost forgotten, while in reality she's a pretty cool character.
And what about Jean Grey and Cyclops?
Cyclops isn't even there most of the time, and when he is, he acts like a moron, so that you don't know what to think about him. Jean Grey... I've never really liked her in the first place, so I guess we had a sort of improvement here, at least

Spoiler: show

Still I can't appreciate her much, especially the actress, who looks way too old! Great disappointment for Nightcrawler's character too (no wonder, considering he's mainly interacting with a terrible Storm...).

Again, this movie is worth watching especially for Magneto/Mystique scenes, and some coolness comes from Wolverine too, but, heh, there are many other things that are better to forget...
