I loved X2. Loved it.
As Nightcrawler is my all-time favorite X-Men character, I was jubilant that they opened the film with him. However, they really didn't delve too much into his past, like why did he have that same patch of skin at the back of his neck that could be used to administer the mind-controlling drug? When did Stryker capture him? Why did he have to be so meek during the rest of the movie? (He is more confident in the comic series.) Regardless, Alan Cumming was perfect in this role and I hope we get to see him again in X3.
I'm also a huge fan of Mystique and Beast (Hank McCoy), which has nothing to do with them being (or becoming) blue. I love heroes how have great fighting abilities. Wolverine was great, especially when he let out that primal berserker scream when stabbing the first special forces guy, but he relies too much on his blades. Nightcrawler and Mystique have bad-ass acrobatic, martial arts skills and if they use the fully mutated Beast in X3, we're in for a serious fight fest! I can't fucking wait!
