Has anyone seen X2?

Has anyone seen X2? I just got back! It was great! much better than the first one. I loved it. I think that there are certain parts that were so good that the matrix will have a hard time toping the X men. I know, after seeing the first one thats hard to belive. As far as the storyline, I still think that the matrix will out run the X men, but as far as VFX, X2 was amazing, and over all the entire movie was better than the first!! 2 thumbs up!

I saw it few days ago, good but not great imo.
What's so special about those effects? Nightcrawler's moves were great, the rest didn't seem that special to me.
The matrix reloaded is SO gonna kick its ass dude! user added image

**EDITED** Some people haven´t seen it, please do not spoil it by telling the story and such.

Going to watch it in about 5 hours. Should be good, haven´t seen bad reviews about this one, and it seems our friend Brian has reassured us that it´s better than the first one. Thankfully.

Just picked up myself some premiere tickets for Matrix Reloaded too. May 21th shall be my day. user added image

That's it, I'm preparing research to make a tut on how to do the "Nightcrawler" transport effect.

Purely amazing particle animation, and compositing.

Also got my advance Matrix tickets too!

This summer is going to ROCK for movies.
