Started off with a fantastic bamfing session from Nightcrawler and just kept delivering the eye and ear-candy goodness. The actors seemed to have really taken to understanding their characters a whole lot more and the special effects just complement the film so well.
It was entertainment driven for the most part by emotion. Definitely a great improvement on the first X-Men movie.
Cyclop's visor improved tremendously. There were a lot of sneaky cameos, Gambit/Remy LeBeau and Beast/Dr. Hank McCoy for instance. Look at the wrong place and you'll miss it. This time around the credits listed their codenames and real names, but in the movie half of them aren't even mentioned by any name at all. So Jubilee makes an appearance and the only tell tale signs are the enormous earrings on one of the girls in the X-Mansion.
Don't ever remember Colossus being a Peter Raputin in the comics.
No obvious need to watch the first one. Well drawn.
