saw X2 today.
so there are two Wolverines, see? and you won’t even KNOW it until they battle, even though you actually DO see the OTHER Wolverine all the way throughout the movie. actually not another Wolvie. you’ll see.
and Jean Grey was killed, only really she wasn’t, because see she’s been going through a lotta conflicting emotions, and she’s about to reemerge in the next movie (the classic story arc i most wanted to see, besides of course the obvious Wolvie-losing-his-adamantium-skeleton) as Phoenix, who will soon enough be a bad girl. she’ll stay bad for many, many issues of the comic, only in X3 it’ll only take about 88 minutes to get her back (and she’ll just switch back to being regular non-Dark Phoenix Phoenix, and not have to go through all that nasty lunar suicide mess). it will be interesting to see whether or not they have the Avengers and the F4 find her body like in the comics. her death was mostly different from her comic book death (she’s actually had a few deaths now), the only similarity being that an aeronautic vehicle was involved.
oh, and Storm (the black X-woman) actually has not three, not 5ive, but 50+ lines this time!! and she does possibly the coolest stuff in the film, too! (trust me, she’s chillingly cool, no pun intended.) def. v. cool.
there’s not much stupid top-40 “modern rock” (read: corporate rock) in the soundtrack, too (even during the end credits).
Matrix trailer rocked hardcore. also Alan Moore’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen trailer looked v. cool.
whew! got that out of my system!
