Movie: X-Men 2
Basic Plot: Professor X and his X-Men are back and this time they are fighting against Wolverine's old military boss, William Striker, and I guess technically Magneto.
I'm Okay With: The fact that mutants with super powers exist based solely on the fact that one of their genes is slightly different than non-mutants. The fact that Magneto has the mutant power to control all of the earth's "magnetic fields" and that technically every thing on earth has a magnetic field, yet for some reason he can only control metal. The fact that the government keeps funding the bad guy's budget in order for him to literally kill millions of mutants/people. The fact that most of the mutants have really worthless abilities yet are still allowed to tag along and take on bad guy mutants that can easily destroy them (I'm look at you, Rogue). The fact that at the end of the movie, Jean Grey could have just as easily saved everyone from that broken dam by staying in the ship and not sacrificing herself.
I'm Not Okay With: The fact that the bad guy, William Striker, keeps his secret Cerebro plans visible on his desktop computer screen. Seriously, when Mystique goes to Striker's office (which isn't even an office as much as it is a cubicle) to find out where he is hiding Magneto, she glances at his desktop and sees an icon labeled "Cerebro". It isn't even hidden in another folder like you would with your porn collection, it is in plain sight for anyone to see if they wanted to. And sure enough, because he didn't bother to hide his secret plans to build a new Cerebro, Mystique steals a copy which leads to Striker's downfall and nearly the annihilation of all non-mutants on earth. I am not okay with that.
