X-Men 2

[kneeshooter]

See X-Men(cf)

Pretty much the same as the last one - just with less "screentime per-mutant". Loads of fanboy moments ("Look - it's Dr Hank McCoy being interviewed on TV in the back of the bar") and some nice make-up for Nightcrawler that I'll have to look into with GD in mind. In fact Nightcrawler had all the best moments, especially the first sequence.

More than that? Not a lot to add. Fine diversion for a Sunday morning and the toddler (just because it's a 12a doesn't mean you should bring it!) in the cinema was well behaved. It seemed to be full of lots of dads-plus-sons which I'm sure will keep them on the straight and narrow.

Trailiers were a mixed bunch. Some clearly toss american comedy (Adam Sandler - just say no!), Matrix Reloaded (See Matrix(cf)) and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen which looked better than it has before - but still no obvious Steam Punk.

I do want to see X Men. Hugh Jackman....*sigh* and Patrick Stewart will always have my heart. :))

Then get your ticket immediately MsWitch :-)

I think I probably should. I just don't really like cinemas for some reason. When I'm rich beyond my wildest imaginings I shall have my OWN cinema. No Children signs on every door.

We went to see it this morning as well, with Mark & family. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially spotting Tanith from SG-1, sad Gater that I am! No prizes for guessing what X3 will be about.

I knew I recognised him from somewhere...

Went to see Friday evening with forbinproject (who got all excited when at the Dr Hank McCoy moment, total mystery to me), gsw, jfs and Roo. The latter agreed that Nightcrawler is soooo cuuute and we should take him home and mother him.

Does he go "Bamf"?

Re:

Kinda yes. Not in a BIG CAPITAL LETTERS HEAR ME SHOUT way, but in a "That's probably a Bamf!" way.

it's certainly a distinctive sound, that can be recognised as BAMF, if that's what you already knew it was. Probably more of a Pfoompf! though, although my memory could already be fading.
