We did put it as a spoiler, then people kept talking about it so much that it ceased to be a spoiler, I guess.
To explain about Jean: hmmm... X-Men has been around for an incredibly long time. In fact, September will mark the 40th anniversary of X-Men #1. http://www.geocities.com/mbrown123/g...ics/xmen1.html During those 40 years, many plot twists have come along in which one or another of the team is thought dead. Also during that time, some of them, I won't say who, not only got married to each other and had children, they travelled to the future when their children were now physically older than them and then returned to altered timelines, etc. Fairly frequently the writers change. New writers do one of three things: they can just continue the tangled storylines they inherited, they can attempt to straighten it all into a simple linear plot, or they can cause a catastrophe and start over. When they went to make an X-Men cartoon a la Saturday morning, they wiped the slate clean and started over. From this clean slate, they began to rewrite some of the old plots. Now they have begun what is obviously a whole series of movies. They started, again, from a clean slate, and they are, again, rewriting old plots into a single linear theatrical timeline. So if a character seems to vanish and is thought dead, rest assured they are going to return in some enhanced form. If you want to know Jean's real story, visit any one of the thousand X-Men fan site and read her bio. Then you'll realise why

Well put, Elfhelm! As for Morrison changing everything to fit the movies, I haven't heard anything about that, but I hope it's just one of those internet rumor-type things.

I already can't wait for the third one...
 Although I've never read the comics (not much into comics  ) I positively ADORE the whole Phoenix concept. The mingling of Fire and Life in the Phoenix has always been something I loved.

Just saw X2.
I have never read the comics, so I can't comment on matters of adaptation, but as a film? Well, I had a lot of problems with the first film, and this one fixes all of them. I was very impressed with this film, and to me the franchise is now worth following, though it had such a shaky start. Full review soon.

This one was obviosly better then the last one. It makes the last one seem like a "meet the x-men" show.

I LOVED it! It was soo awesome! I haven't read the comics, but I love the movie! Nightcrawler and Jean Grey are my favs. I also liked Pyro...That whole scene where he causes trouble in the cafeteria at the museum was great, as well as that fiasco at Bobby's (aka Ice Man's) house. Was a great movie overall!
I want to see it a million times more!
