9457, What I didn't like... Posted by DawgEatah, Tue May-06-03 08:40 AM
Standing overall complaints:
That the X-Men Movies are pg-13. Movie could be grittier and darker. Messed up line-up and story lineage mish mash. (including the virtual absence of Beast and Angel) Casting of Halle Berry
Specific X2 complaints: The bizarre incorporation of the Pheonix storyline (let's hope they can pull this off.) Lady Deathstrikes lack of action sequences and abrupt "death" (e.g. the darth maul syndrome) The incestuous hinting b/w nightcrawler and mystique the pacing of the film seemed off. Seemed like they are sqeezing a lot X-Men history into one film and thus leaving too much out. Underuse of Colossus and Shadowcat While this film was decidedly much better than the first, it still hasn't reached the "blow you away" effect that movies like Blade 2 accomplished. In other words.. even MORE action.
Honestly I really enjoyed the film. I was just nit-picking to fulfill Mynoriti's request. It was a fun flick. It's funny how comic films have had such a wretched history overall, so our tolerance for cheeziness and inconsistant adaptaions is higher today. Nah mean?
