Jac_no_k's Journal: X2

I saw X2 this Memorial Day. It was a good well paced action movie showing a bit more of the multi-movie story arc. Definately not a date movie since non-fans of the series are constantly asking who's who and who is exactly the bad guy. The movie could have done a better job describing who's who and recapping from the first movie. But that probably would have ruined the pacing of the movie, making it much too long. Maybe in the directors cut of the DVD?

Going to watch movies before noon is definately the way to go. Not crowded and good seatings. The downside is the riff raff. One person besides my had a cell phone go off. There were some 8 year old kid behind me who couldn't sit still. No babies crying and no fan boys screaming with joy when their favorite characters made an appearence.

Phoung wouldn't stop nudging me when the RX-8 made it's appearence. The car looks nice but it was a blatent product placement skit. The camera swung to the rear of the car clearly showing the Mazda badge and RX-8 nameplate, twice. They didn't make it as a big of a deal as I thought, no gun pods or jet pods popped out. Anyways I can't wait to take delivery my much more stealthy RX-8.
