Having watched the DVD now a few times, I think I've found the one element I enjoyed most about the film. It's Nightcrawler. I'm not learned in X-Men lore so the character was entirely new to me. His entrance in the White House attack was spectacular. That tour de force was matched by his...

Here's a little basic of storytelling. Watching two mismatched fighters go at it is boring. A mega powerful Wolverine windmilling his way through dozens of enemies effortlessly is just not interesting. (Sadly much like Neo in Matrix Reloaded) If he's that powerful I can't empathize with him...
