Thumbs up two thumbs up from Pete/Griff

I thought it was much better than the first one, since they didn't have to bring the audience up to speed on the background. They actually got me caring about the characters which is a huge step forward for "comic book" movies. I had one of those moments near the end of the movie where I was thinking, "I don't want this to end." I was an occasional X-Men reader, kinda makes me wish I was an addict who collected them. It was funny being middle aged man in the theatre with the high school kids.
