Apparently I'm dodgy...



I've just got back from watching X2 and I'm glad to report that all seems well in the world of the mutants. A story focusing on the uncomfortable relationship between mutants and human, the big super human battles are kept to a minimum and I think its all the better for it. The characters are fleshed out a bit where needed, but not so much as to leave them flat and unintersting for the inevitable third one.



Ian McKellen is once again excellent in his role as Magneto and I thought Mystique came out quite well, almost made me forget Rebecca Romijn-Stamos was pretty much butt naked for the whole film. We learned a bit more about Wolverine, but again not too much, so theres a bit of mystery left for the next one, Cyclops got ignored (good! he's a boring goody two-shoes), but I think mutant of the film has got to go to Alan Cumming (dare I say he was even better in X2 than he was in Spy Kids).



And I took great pleasure about walking out with a knowing smile about what's going to happen in the next film.
