    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: X2: X-Men United w/ Screenshots!! (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

    Gary, I hear ya. I liked X2, but far less than expected. Very average movie, in my opinion. I know very few share that opinion, but it's nice to know of at least one other. :) And yes, the opening Nightcrawler scene was definitely the highlight of the movie for me. In fact, I'd probably have...

    Ah, that makes sense. I didn't realize that's how the review threads are handled. For some reason, I thought they were dual listed here and in their own forum, with both being open for searching and posting. Dan

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: X2: X-Men United w/ Screenshots!! (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

    Just watched it tonight for the first time, and I've got a question and a few comments. First, the question: Has anyone else noticed an odd jumpiness to the picture throughout? Perfectly good clarity, but it was almost like a frame was missing every couple minutes. It was so frequent, I can't...
