X2: X-Men United

The best one out of the first three. There was a fascinating plot, complex characters, and grand action scenes (such as Wolverine vs. Lady Deathstrike). I also enjoyed the growing affection between Rogue and Iceman... and Iceman's interaction with Wolverine. I don't know, somehow everything felt right; I can't describe it any other way. I guess that's a sign of great filmmaking. The only minor complaint I had is that they could've done much more with Cylops or that they could've introduced my favourite X-Men character, Gambit. Still, the playful tone of the film and the emotions it gave it audiences more than made up for it. I just wish that if they were to make a fourth installment, it would be following this one, not "X3: The Last Stand."
