[...] A horde of new and newer characters are introduced in this film, injecting a level of freshness. In a show of remarkable continuity, the two actors who portrayed Pyro and Iceman during a quick cameo in the first film reprise their roles for much larger parts. Iceman’s budding romance with Rogue along with Pyro’s gradual turn to the darkside are two of the more interesting aspect of this installment. Nightcrawler is a perfect blend of his various characterizations. Often times, writers can’t decide whether they want to focus more heavily on his dedication to religion or his goofy, fun-loving nature. This interpretation of the furry blue teleporter maintains an excellent balance of his two natures. A shame he didn’t return for X-Men 3: the Last Stand. Mystique is much more than just a hot blue chick this time around, using her shapeshifting powers to their maximum potential. The way she busts Magneto out of prison is particularly clever. [...]

[...] Batman vs. Wolverine? Awesome. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I went into this movie. I mostly went at the behest of my brother, who wanted to see it quite badly, telling me the fellas over at IMDB were rating it exceptionally well. Well, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with this film. Certainly Oscar-worthy material, without a doubt. [...]

[...] X-Men doesn’t have the deepest plot you’ll ever find, but it does a commendable job bringing the characters to life and setting up the world they live in. The sequels, X2: X-Men United and X-Men 3: the Last Stand are both better, in my opinion, though I enjoy all three films. X-Men is easily one of the best comic book films to come out in recent years, ranking up there with Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man in terms of quality. X-Men gets a B.

[...] There weren’t very many movies this summer that I found myself excited about. There were a few action-oriented films that tickled my fancy (Silent Hill, X-Men 3, Snakes on a Plane) but no comedies that captured my interests. Except one. Clerks II is the film I’d been waiting for ever since it was announced at the end of the credits for Dogma. Of all the “View Askewniverse” entries, the original Clerks remains my favorite. When you spend over half a decade of your life working in a retail outlet, dealing with the horror that is the general public, movies like Clerks really speak to you. Especially if you spent those years working in video stores, like I did. So, did Clerks II invoke within my bosom that warm and fuzzy feeling like the original did? [...]
