I saw X2 as well, liked it, it has some pretty cool scenes, such as the way Magneto escaped from his plastic prison.

I disagree Portman is a bad actress, her performance in Star Wars didn't struck me as remarkable in either way.

Have you heard about this new comic book inspired movie: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? It sounds promising, starring Sean Connery.

Conspiracy theory of the day: I am getting a little suspicious of that avuncular silver-haired old councilman of Zion, who took Neo on a night walk and genially encouraged him to do what he must. Is he just a pawn or does he know more of how the system works? Notice the architect also is a old man with full head of white hair. Coincidence? I think not!
