"X2" Just Bitchun'

I just saw X2, the new X-Men movie, and, well, it totally rocks! All the good guys you love, and the bad guys you love to hate, are back, and several new faces have been added just to spice things up. The plot has enough ups and downs that you'll leave the theater exhausted from your 2-hour, 14-minute, action-packed adventure. I thought it might be hard to make a movie as fun and true to the comic as the first X-Men movie, but Bryan Singer and cast have done it again. Alan Cumming, as Nightcrawler, was perfect, and nearly every other cast addition was just right on. While we didn't get to see much of Colossus, the fellow cast to play him, Daniel Cudmore, seems about perfect -- big, ridiculously muscular, and did I mention big? While the official movie website has all the info you could ever want, the IMDB entry is, of course, much better organized (thanks again, IMDB!).
