Looking forward to this film, especially Lady Deathstrike.
There's just one thing, Senator Robert Kelly (Bruce Davidson) is to be in this movie too, didn't he dissolve into water in the first movie? How can they possibly have saved him?
The floor under the sickbed must've been dirty, they can't resurrect a dirty senator, can they?

At the end of the last film, Smurfette was impersonating the senator. I figger she isn't done yet - but Davison's role will be considerably smaller this time, I'm sure.

Well, how do you know he actually died? Maybe he's now able to turn into water, and then change back into human form at will?

I really want to see this ... shame I won't be in the country when it comes out. I'll have to wait until September or October to see all the new summer movies. Another sequel I really want to see is 2 Fast, 2 Furious. I know there are people who thought the first one sucked, but I love it, and the sequel looks pretty cool too.

I enjoyed X-Men, but I didn't walk out of the theater thinking "wow, that definitely warranted a sequel!" Material-wise, it's thinner than Storm (a war between mutants and happy owners of non-messed up DNA!). If it translates well to the big screen, then great. If it doesn't... then stick to the cartoons.

It's not that it was a particularly bad film as much as it was a total rip off of Point Break, which was still a much better film (note the lack of digital effects and the focus on characters).

Maybe so. Then again the main appeal for The Fast and the Furious is the cars. I love the cars in that movie; Mazda RX-7, a couple Nissan 240SX's, Toyota Supra, Mitsubishi Eclipse, etc. The sequel features prominently the mac-daddy of all import street racers the legendary 1999 Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R.
As for X-Men. I could Fox making a sequel if it did well. I enjoyed the movie the first time, but found it difficult to sit through in repeat viewings.

Really - with the ending in the plastic prison and the unresolved story lines reguarding Wolverine, Senator Kelly/Mystique etc. It was SCREAMING for a sequal. Especially with Charles and Eric's banter!
I can't wait to see more Charles, Eric, Marie, Logan, Ororo, Jean, Scott, Bobby etc. And possibly more mutants now like Collossus, more Pyro, more Iceman, more Jubilee, more Kitty Pride!!

Ahh, I had not much clue on the X-men before I saw that movie. I may have seen the TV cartoon a few times in episodes here and there. Really knew nothing about anything. I ended up seeing "X-men" 5 times - I'd never seen a movie that many times before. Closest was First Contact with 3.

I'm looking forward to the sequel too, though I was really hoping it would focus alot on Wolverine. His back story is itching to be explored a bit.
And yes, I would love to see more of the X-Men, especially Colossus, Kitty Pride, ooh... and if it's not dreaming too much... Nightcrawler... Now *that* would be worth my admission fee.

Take a look at the trailer, the blue fuzzy one is indeed featured in the new film.

That's right. I wonder if they've gotten a german gymnast playing him, that would be keul.
It would be a shame if all the acrobatics would be done in CGI, it looks so obvious (Blade II Ninjas *cough*, Spiderman *slobodorf*). That's one of the few gripes I have with the new age of cinema...
Also, Gambit.

Alan Cumming! YAY! Though, I mean, X2 or whatever silliness they're calling it, is not necessarily a good showcase for his actingnessism. It's a show for Jackman's actingnessism. Which I'm sure he has. Really. Like a modern Brando. Really.
(Because, I'm sarcastically implying that perhaps I do not think of him as great an actor as possible. But he does what Wolverine needs. So, who loses? No one.)

I think he did the role goodly, except he couldn't find the appropriate feral growl and snarl, for those really special Logan moments. Instead, they opted for his samurai-training and professionalism, which also works for now.
And they could've padded him up a bit, Logan should be a bit wider, sturdier.
Alan Cumming, you say. Earlier stagename, Buck Naked?
