Okay, first off I'd like to brag about the fact that I was amongst the first in the world to see X2 at a public screening down here in New Zealand. Yup at 11:59pm on Tuesday the 29th of April the lights dimmed and the pictures rolled.

Having followed this movie since day one my anticipation and expectations were incredibly high. Surely the final product would not be able to lice up to these high hopes. I was proven wrong, oh, so very, very wrong. The movie in a word is Amazing... no Astounding... no Uncanny... hell, any word that can describe the "oh my god" factor of leaving the theatre only to want more will fit in here.

I don't want to spoil the plot nor any scenes in the movie but it is with strong enthusiasm that I say go see this movie!!!

One thing I will say however is that comicbook geeks such as myself will love the little references such as Hank McCoy on TV or Gambit's (Remy's) name on a computer file. And the muchos gracias reference is to the great Dark Phoenix storyline but I'll say no more of that.

Go see it! NOW, and if you have seen it, what do you think?

p.s. one thing I didn't like about the movie was the fact that I had downloaded so many trailers, making ofs and countingdown.com x2 clips that it spoiled a lot of the movies "moments"... actually that's my fault.
