Completely and totally excellent. I loved the story, I loved the effects, I loved everything about this. The writers and artists of Marvel Comics have spent decades crafting an amazing story and the X2 team did the right thing by not straying too far from the original story (or so I'm told). Point is, everything was spot on.

The X-Men series is shaping up to be the next Batman series. I'm just hoping they can correct the mistakes made by not putting out a shitty third, fourth and fifth movie. In fact, while watching the preview for Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde, I realized that sequels should be used only when they are truly warranted. The X-Men will be fine because they have a story that can be stretched out over multiple films without a problem.

And so, I bless this movie with my complete and total recommendation for anyone who has ever enjoyed an action movie.
