X2 DVD out today!!!

dancing jig

I was SOOO tempted to buy a bootleg. lol But I waited like a good boy, and today is the payoff!

I can't wait to see the deleted scenes (deeper exposition) and the "making of" stuff!

I have a Blockbuster gift card leftover from X-Mas, and the minute I'm off work, I'm on my way!

X2 rocked! restored my faith in second installments of trilogies.

I definitely am getting this, and while X 1 wasn't all that to me, I'll be forced to get it too just to be completist about it.

Do you have a link to a storyline, maybe.

Is Jean Grey in it?
Or is she really 'offed'?

I don't think anyone has actually read the real script yet, although there are a lot of fakes out there. In fact, I don't think the actual script is finished yet. I do think its safe to say that Jean Grey WILL return as the Phoenix.

Has anyone heard mention of there being four films as opposed to one? After watching the Matrix go down in flames (although I thought the third film was fair), I'm sort of hoping there are fewer than more X movies for safety sake.

Yea, but, the difference is that X2 was an improvement on the first one, whereas the Matrix films went in the shitter with the second film. If the X movies can keep the momentum going, they'll totally rock!!

I'd hope so. I'm just afraid...

Godfather II and Rocky II were awesome, but we all know what happened to the third installments.

Also I wonder how many times they can get the central cast members to return. Or do you think an evolving team would work as well as the comics?

True.

They balanced the stories. Kept them real. Gave the characters room to grow.

As where The Matrix is a bit more bland. What 2nd Matrix? Hehehe

There has been no mention about how many X-Men movies
they are planning to make. I remember Bryan Singer saying
that he didn't see X-Men as becoming 'a trilogy', but rather
a series of movies with no definite number, like James Bond
or Star Trek.

There's definitely the obvious tempation to make X3 based
on the classic 'Dark Phoenix' story (very epic). But I'd much
prefer it if they took their time and introduced the creation
of the Sentinels as the main threat in X3, with maybe Jean
Gray returning as Phoenix during the course of the story to
save the day. Leaving the whole 'Dark Phoenix' saga to movie
4 or 5. (but that's just my wishful thinking with no basis in fact).

If Singer and the crew do turn the X-Men films into an ongoing franchise, they will obviously be bringing in tons of new characters. Who are some of the mutants y'all would be excited to see on screen?

Some of my picks off the top of my head (though not all X-Men):

* Cloak
* Penance (Boring, but I'd love to see a cool butterfly effect on screen)
* Aurora or Northstar
* Magick
* Sunspot
* Havoc

Well, popular rumor has it that Storm is out of X3,
and Beast is definitely in, along with one other new
X-Man.
