    X2 (2003)

    The last several pages of this thread, I believe, are why comic books have such a horrid reputation in modern American society. It's bordered on rude, some of the back and forth, in my opinion. Comics are an evolving storyline medium. Characters are created by one or a few folks, and...

    X2 (2003)

    I agree with many of the comments about the direction. As soon as the director changes (on X3 or X4 or whenever), we're back to "hope it doesn't suck" land. Or as another put it, hoping it's one of the "few gifted hands". Here's hoping FOX doesn't get a hack when Singer moves on to scratch...

    The best part of X3 or the spinoff movie, however they do it, is no Halle Berry.

    X2 (2003)

    X-Men 2 is breathtaking. The series theme has been retained, and used powerfully for the characters and the story. The imagery Singer chooses throughout the film is at turns clever, subtle, funny, and thoughtful. He 'juggles' the characters on-screen well as a director, and draws some...
