I'm undecided as to whether this film is that good or not.
It's more entertaining than the first, but not as the second.
Too many secondary characters were introduced, given too much screen time, and then just killed off, meaning their whole inclusion in the film was a little pointless (if a forth is ever made).
Saying that, It was nice to see both Storm and Jean get more screen time, and Storm was at her best and how she should have been from the first movie.
I loved Beast too! Very well cast, and used in the right way, although considering the few remaining X-Men left by the final fight, it would have been nice if they'd played on Beast's previous affiliation with the group more.
Iceman was okay, Rogue very underused, Kitty Pryde....annoying, and the actress really got to me for some reason! lol. i think it's because she acted as though she was in something grander than a comic book movie, the scene where she's in the class room was a little out of place.
I couldn't believe they more or less wrote Mystique out of the franchise! She was one of the best characters in the movies, and should have been given more screen time on her own before she was transformed back into a human.
Action was great though, special effects top notch. But it was too short. Scenes were cut together too fast, and it all seemed a bit of a rush. I could have handled a half hour more dialogue if the film had more narrative because of it, i mean it worked well enough in the second movie.
I'm looking forward to seeing it again, which must mean i like it i suppose, lol
