X marks the spot?

Went and saw X2 (X-men 2) with Luke and Cynthia tonight, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Someone I know said it had slow spots, but I didn't find them noticable.

I still can't help thinking of Ian McKellan as Gandalf though. He seems too nice to be playing the bad guy. I suppose that's also because his character in X-men isn't completely nasty, rather more of a gentleman.
