How can you say X2 for Cyclops he has 5 Scenes..5!!
Scene 1 At Museum small diagloue with Jean
Scene 2 Says hello Logan and throws keys and says fill up the bike
***Made to look cool by having Backstreet Boys blasting in his car
Scene 3 Gets ass kicked by deathstrike after blasting 1 guard
Scene 4 1 fight scene with jean and make up scene after
Scene 5 Crying on Logan's shoulder
While his last two scenes were ok his first two are trivial and for 75% Cyclops isnt there at all and becomes completely forgotten about.
Cyclops X1 - Only movie that did him semi-justice he was never a MAJOR character in any
Rogue X1 - Again her character dissapears in X3 and the struggles she faces in X2 and X3 were built in X1
Xavier All 3 - His character was great in X1 and we saw duality to him other than a goodie goodie in X3, and in X2 he made some great speeches and you saw more range of his powers.
Magneto X3 - Get to see him as a terrorist and stronger powers lifting a bridge Vs, lifting guns in X-men 1
Mystique X2 - "The we shouldn't have to" line in response to Nightcrawler is great, good action scenes and use of her power, especially near the end
Pyro X3 - Obviously has finally taken his place
Storm X3 - Character wise X3 is the only one where she's given anything tho Im not a big halle Berry fan
Kitty Pryde X3 - Only one she's really used
Jean Greay X2 - She did phoenix effectively but wasnt used enuff
Wolverine X2 - Showed his backstory a lil, made him more savage as a fighter willing to kill, and finally chose the X-men, X3 just expanded on this.
Iceman X3 - Instead of just following he starts to grow up and insists on fighting for the school, showing sympathy for the mutants who have no place to go, offering leadership to younger members like Kitty, and a fight scene with his once friend Pyro.
Colussus - X2 Coulda been used sooo much more in X3, especially with a Juggernaut Fight scene
Other chars who appear in only one movie..well thats obvious
I honestly think with more Time and less interference from Fox, Rattner coulda done a nice job on X-men 3 its currently an 8 for me, Id give X2 a 9 but if they put out a Directors cut X-men 3 with some of the scenes Ive read heard about cut out it could top X2 (Ive heard of whole arcs being cut besides the action sequences).
