    X2 (2003)

    Well, I took a breaking dam being held back by a burning phoenix to be large in scale, as I did with the battle on Liberty Island. But your mileage may vary. Again, my personal preference moves away from Superman and Zod's team punching each other through buildings and blowing people down the...

    Perhaps the question can be phrased as: Would you rather have Superman I or Superman II. Superman I had a larger emotional core and had Superman fighting a human. Superman II had less drama and emotion in favor of more spectacular battles with equivalent enemies. Of course, the worst example...

    I don't know John. I came away with the impression that he was quite skilled based on his battles with Sabretooth, Deathstrike, and Mystique. The difference with the Mystique and Deathstrike battles were that his opponents seemed to be extremely skilled themselves in martial arts. But I failed...

    You're right John, but my point was that I believe that his faults with the film stem largely from the difference from the comics, based largely on how he is phrasing his complaints. I mean, just looking back on the discussion we had about Syrin, the bulk of the disagreement came because he...

    I think the Wolverine presented in the film was quite the fighter, displaying great speed, strength, aggressiveness, and talent. His ability at dispatching Stryker's soldiers just solidified that. His biggest challenges over the last two films have come from threats that he doesn't know...

    *cracks knuckles* Here we go again...:) You forgot: 5) Fans who can accept changes that make for a better movie Most of your objections seem to stem from a slavish devotion to the source material. It seems like you are less than willing (but not completely unwilling) to accept anything that...

    I'll give it another shot! This one I can answer pretty easily - Magneto told them everything they needed to know about the mansion. He was pretty involved with it in the first place and Mystique sure knew her way around in the first movie. Stryker even had him spill his guts about "the house...

    I'll bite Luis. I think they were well prepared for what they had shown up for. They attacked when the majority of the trained and dangerous mutants were gone (The Professor and Scott at the prison, Jean and Storm in the air). They attacked at night and used remarkably effective...

    No reason to worry, your post is pretty solid. I just disagree with it. :) I think she intentionally let the water overtake her. As to the rest of you points, I just have to say that I am a big fan of this. I totally agree that this is "Bryan Singer's X-Men", just as we had "Tim Burton's...

    Whew! Just when the Star Wars/LOTR franchise war seemed to be dying down we can open a brand new conflict. :D Saw it again myself and everyone agreed that it was a very worthy effort and all that can be expected of a sequel (and more). I was initially a bit disarmed by Storm's accent loss...

    Oh My God Now that was an incredible movie. I mean, just so much of it was plain right. It was finally honest about the deadly powers these people have. Wolverine really went berserk. Magneto took no prisoners. The special effects were solid and seamless in so many ways (to my eyes anyway)...
