Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
X2: X-Men United was really good!
*** Warning: Spoiler ***
I thought that the "bad" mutants, Magneto and Mystique, were way more interesting and skilled than the "good" guys: Xavier, Jean Gray, Storm, Cyclops, Wolverine, etc. The good guys didn't do a whole lot, except Wolverine who had lots of action. Xavier did very little except get kidnapped and controlled. Mystique did all the work. Also, Magneto has the best powers... it was neat how he escaped from his pLastic prison. Magneto and Mystique make a very powerful team.

Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
X-Men 2 is racist!!!
The attack of the SWAP teams on the mutant school is a copy from Waco, Texas. The motive used to order the attack is their possession of an stealth plane (guns in Waco).
Magneto to Pyro:
"You are a god between insects, don't let anyone tell you any diferent"

Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
Well, I'd say X-Men 2 is about racism, yes. So was the comic series. that doesn't make it racist.
What the story (in the comics and the movies) does is present the reader/viewer with a choice: if you were likely to become a target of racism, would you react like Magneto... or like Xavier ?
