X-2 was good for a wolverine origins story before he wandered the country in X-1. What I didn't like about it was how downplayed Lady Deathstrike was. She was virtually a robot throughout the whole film until that mutant-controlling serum wore off. Then she was killed off soon afterwards. I personally would liked to have seen more of her without the control serum just to see how more badass she really could have been.
