I think the movie was great. Better than the first. My only real problem lies not with the movie, but elsewhere.

DC Comics.

These guys need to get their collective asses in gear. Marvel has been putting out movies left and right. Blade and the sequel. X-Men and the sequel. Daredevil. Spiderman, with a sequel due out next year. They're already working on a Punisher movie.

DC needs to come with their own franchises, and quick. I, for one, wouldn't mind a
Green Lantern movie. A Justice League movie would be great too. (Jim Carrey...Logical choice for Plastic Man. Think about it.)

Back on topic...Spoilers ahead.

Some things I think will happen in the inevitable sequel to X2:

- Colossus will have a bigger role. Where we saw it, people applauded when he turned metal and threw the soldiers through the wall. I think if Bryan Singer manages to show Colossus and Wolverine performing the Fastball Special comic fans everywhere will nominate him for sainthood.

- Sentinels. Or at the very least, one Sentinel. Part CGI, part animatronic.

- The New Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, based at Asteroid M. Pyro joining up with Magneto seems like just the start of that story arc. It's a logical progression. Asteroid M would factor in because it would be such a huge event. It would be an excellent climax, as well as a way to bring Jean Grey from the Phoenix force. (No, that's not X-Men canon, but it would make sense.) It would also be a perfect return for Toad and Sabertooth.
