X2 (2003) - Full Reaction
Added 2024-04-17 16:19:31 +0000 UTCHoly moly, X2 did NOT let up! It felt like there were three movies happening at once with all the different groups and their plans. We were on the edge of our seat trying to keep up haha! Magneto is still up to his old tricks... but Stryker as the villain was a nice surprise. And using the kids like that? So messed up!!

Hold up.. "mythical like a dinosaur" ...?

2024-09-15 10:40:03 +0000 UTCah bro. That was the delicious complexity of the X-Men. Magneto was not evil... he was Chaotic Neutral; whereas Charles Xavier was Lawful Good. IMHO.
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 07:48:45 +0000 UTCOk who disagrees??? If you see a wolverine IRL, it's kinda like when the Fellowship Of The Rings were in Moria... with Gandalf... and Gandalf was like... "swords are of no use here.... RUN!!!"
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 07:45:01 +0000 UTCROFLMAO... Back story of Xavier and Magnito... Too Much foreshadoing.. And yes A wolverine is a real animal... kinda like a badger... but much much much more meaner. Even bears won't mess with a wolverine. If you see a wolverine IRL... RUNNN RUNNN... RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 07:40:48 +0000 UTCUm... Yeah... Jean Gray was that powerful. Scary powerful. and no... she ain't dead.
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 07:27:26 +0000 UTCAmendmentiuenum ... A slightly more powerful form of Vibranium... Just sayin'
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 07:04:45 +0000 UTCUm no... Scott didn't go evil...Except He did. Jean went really really REALY evil. Like Universe Destroying Level Of Evil. But... God Bless Her... she redeemed herself in the end.
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 06:45:12 +0000 UTCum... Striker's son is probably the most powerful mutant ever. Or was it Xavier's son??? Yeah nevermind... It was Xavier's and Moria's son.
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 06:16:51 +0000 UTCOk Yeah... You picked it up... Mystique is Nightcrawler's mother. Now you know. Too much blue.
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 05:55:27 +0000 UTCUm... Professor Xavier cannot stop time... But he can stop minds. So, did you notice the mutant who wasn't frozen??? That was a very very young Dazzler.
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 05:43:36 +0000 UTCSo.. (as I watch this the same day I say your previous movie reaction)... My favorite X-Man character was always Nightcrawler. They did such a great job with him in this movie, but he was so much more a main character in the comics.
Carlos Stevens
2024-09-09 05:30:08 +0000 UTCThe reaction to Wolverine vs. Lady Deathstrike is incredible. Especially knowing the speed of the "knife-like" attacks increases as the fight goes on
Raymond Terry
2024-04-29 02:43:54 +0000 UTCAgree. But it's pretty clear the studios wanted to promote Hugh Jackman. Can't really blame them. He gave a hell of a performance throughout.
Chris Thom
2024-04-24 19:05:20 +0000 UTCI think they just need to get to know the characters and like at least some of them. Then the rest comes easily.
Chris Thom
2024-04-24 18:48:13 +0000 UTCNever read the comics but he seemed really overpowered in the films. Felt like he needed to go just to make things fair.
Chris Thom
2024-04-24 18:46:06 +0000 UTCI believe it's Professor Magnum. Or Helmut Guy.
Chris Thom
2024-04-24 18:43:55 +0000 UTCTrue. But Origins is somewhat skippable if she only has so much time to devote to these.
Chris Thom
2024-04-24 18:42:23 +0000 UTCOnly the Tasmanian Devil knows.
Chris Thom
2024-04-24 18:40:52 +0000 UTCCurious if she did any of her own stunts in these movies. She definitely nailed the look of her.
Chris Thom
2024-04-24 18:40:24 +0000 UTCSo cool to see the mutants team up and organize and utilize everyone's strengths and weaknesses to overcome a challenge. It's like a math problem that needs to be solved. And they all seem very real with real life baggage and concerns. Still think this is a high point in the genre. Does the group team up thing as good as, if not better, than The Avengers. Massive props to Hugh Jackman for making making Wolverine a legendary character. And Patrick Stewart of course. Casting Department nailed it.
Chris Thom
2024-04-24 18:38:56 +0000 UTCThis was my first time watching this one and I'd say it was about as good as the first. You guys made it really fun though. The conversation about wolverines at the end was hilarious. And the wolverine fight was fun to watch-mostly cuz of you guys though. I wasn't expecting a jump scare but I'll take it. Nightcrawler seemed cool, I hope he's in more.
My_Cousin_Mose
2024-04-23 04:05:52 +0000 UTCWolverines are the largest members of the weasel family. They are generally the size of a medium-sized dog, between 30 and 55 pounds. You all had me laughing. Great Reaction. RIP Jean Grey
Eddie Perkins
2024-04-22 01:11:23 +0000 UTCIn the comics, Kitty Pryde / Shadowcat, the "girl who walks through walls," was part of the X-Men before Rogue joined. Alas, they didn't give her much of a role in the movies. We really didn't see much of her prior to "Days of Future Past."
Stephen Dias
2024-04-21 02:02:05 +0000 UTCGreat movie. Great Reaction ladies. The Deadpool movies are more stand alone and not part of the X-Men series. Two X-Men make an appearance but they are not X-Men movies. You can watch them. They are fun movies. But, they are not as serious. They are a good laugh.
Rick Williams
2024-04-20 02:38:10 +0000 UTCIf Halle Berry told me she had faith in me, oh the things I could accomplish. Man, the amount you guys reference spy kids and I still haven't watched it, basically "I feel shame" (2 points if you get that reference). I'm going to sit down with that one soon. Oh and another Patrick Stewart movie you would like is Conspiracy Theory with Mel and Julia. I can neither confirm nor deny Mr. Stewarts tenderness in this film.
Erik Daniel
2024-04-19 23:51:24 +0000 UTCI'm sure others have mentioned this. Prof. Xavier can't freeze time. He can just control people's minds so they "freeze"
Neill Shaughness
2024-04-19 22:34:28 +0000 UTC"I would love that power. So much." Halle Berry is beautiful. Aaron Stanford who is Pyro is also James Cole in the 12 Monkeys TV series (2015-2018) (RT=89%, IMDb=7.7) based on the movie of the same name.
Clay F
2024-04-19 01:55:11 +0000 UTCI think you have to put RDJ ahead of Jackman as RDJ looks just like Tony Stark from the comics. Not that I’d change the Jackman casting by any means. Honestly, I think the MCU nailed their casting throughout the first 3 phases.
Cole Jennett
2024-04-19 01:16:09 +0000 UTCHave you sought professional help?
Just Plain Bob
2024-04-19 01:05:20 +0000 UTCUnpopular opinion- Brandon Routh was better than Christopher Reeve.
Mike Lemon
2024-04-18 23:27:36 +0000 UTC@AboveAverageDave: FOX had plans to make a Gambit movie under the X-Men Origins name, but X-Men Last Stand and Wolverine Origins were so poorly received, they cancelled their plans and went back to the X-Men team movie well with First Class. And it worked. The problem with a Gambit movie is that the character works best as the rakishly charming man of mystery, like a Cajun James Bond, who plays off the other X-Men. When he's solo, like in Wolverine Origins, Gambit is just a flamboyantly selfish grifter. Even as an anti-hero, it doesn't really work. And an origin movie would presumably involve the Thieves Guild vs. the Assassins Guild, which is a relatively low-stakes conflict for a superhero movie. The worst problem is that now Disney owns the X-Men, I don't think they'll ever do a '90s X-Men comics accurate portrayal of Gambit -- even the X-Men '97 version was kinda neutered. It's far more likely that Rogue or Storm or even Jubilee will get a solo movie before Gambit. IF a Rogue solo movie involved her absorbing Carol Danvers' Captain Marvel powers so that Rogue was the '90s X-Men comics' authentic version with super strength, flight, and invulnerability, I'm fully on board with that!

Mike Lemon
2024-04-18 22:04:01 +0000 UTCIts great to seeing the two of you reacting when you don’t know what the image in the water was at the end. Also really love that your enjoying the movie’s so far. I’m also looking forward to what you think of the next one as it’s not loved by the fans. I can understand why but I’ve always found it to be an ok movie yes it’s definitely not one of the best but I think it’s still watchable. But Patrick & Ian where perfect for Charles and Eric, They are also two of my favourite actors and both started acting in theatre productions. To anyone that’s interested there’s a brilliant interview on YouTube with them both telling some brilliant & sometimes funny stories about when they where younger and how they started to their current Hollywood roles. they talk about their great friendship and how they still act in the theatre. Here’s the link https://youtu.be/mmcdkb2CcdE?si=ihGb1ytrYCDdc65P
Dean Holt
2024-04-18 18:46:50 +0000 UTCI need to check Shogun - and if a Rogue/Gambit movie happened (but done right) I’d be singing hallelujah. Literally these two have been slept on. I have the comic of X-Men #24 September 1993 Gambit/Rogue first kiss cover which a buddy of mine gave for my bday bc he knows I’m obsessed with these two. Anyway - Enjoy … happy watching, Dave!
Rose
2024-04-18 17:55:19 +0000 UTCYes - Iconic AND a fan favorite. No idea why they never gave him more than a cursory (and very poor) appearance in the Wolverine origin movie. If they decide to do some standalones - a la Avengers - as a lead-up to the new X-Men movies (or between each of them), a Gambit movie, or Gambit and Rogue film, would be a great place to start. Diving into X-Men 97 soon. Completely obsessed with Shõgun right now (sticking close to the book, except for Blackthorn, who was supposed to look like a Viking with blonde hair and blue eyes; otherwise, Anna Sawai (owns the screen whenever she's on it) Cosmo Jarvis, Tadanobu Asnao and Hiroyuki Sanada are all great). Looking forward to the finish of that before I slide into my next series.
Above Average Dave
2024-04-18 17:35:30 +0000 UTC“The name’s Gambit… Remember it.” 💜 Remy LeBleau. X-Men 97 - Ep. 5 broke me. So epic and why he’s so iconic … unfortunate the X-Men movies didn’t capitalize on him.
Rose
2024-04-18 17:21:36 +0000 UTCGeneral Bratchenko: What is a "Wolverine"? Colonel Ernesto Bella: A small animal, like a badger, but terribly ferocious. It is also the name of the local sports collective. General Bratchenko: They're beasts, Ernesto. You must kill every one of them eventually. It's the same as Afghanistan. They'll never stop.
Larry Darrell
2024-04-18 17:11:55 +0000 UTCAlso, the reason Jason wasn't affected by Charles' concentration is because he was safe inside Cerebro with Charles.

Walter
2024-04-18 16:17:08 +0000 UTCYou must play your own copy of the movie. It's available to stream at Disney+. See the link in the description above: "Find your own copy to follow along with." She can't show the movie because that would be a copyright violation. The blurred inset video w/timer is for syncing your copy of the movie with her reaction.
Clay F
2024-04-18 15:54:51 +0000 UTCActually, given the preponderance of evidence of human behavior throughout history (such as the sheer number of Germans who turned in their friends and even family to the Gestapo just for having "Jewish blood" in them), it's not illogical at all. Ronny's fear/hatred of mutants is unfortunately a totally believable motivation for calling the cops when he discovers Bobby is one. Sadly the most plausible part of the story. :-(

Ace Degenerate
2024-04-18 13:21:24 +0000 UTCNot only that, but they messed up Cyclops in Every 👏 Single 👏 Movie 👏 he appears in. In my opinion, in the classic representation of the X-Men, Professor X may be the heart and soul of the team but Cyclops is the leader. He’s the guy. But in these movies he goes from being almost a background character to non existent. It’s such a shame because I do think that James Marsden fits the part 100%, he’s just squandered.
Ace Degenerate
2024-04-18 13:20:47 +0000 UTCThanks for a super cool reaction! A tiny bit of trivia/gossip: Hugh Jackman also didn't know that the wolverine was a real animal. He thought he was playing a wolf xD He even did 2 weeks of research on wolves. From Vanity Fair: While on the set of 2000’s X-Men, director Bryan Singer noticed something was not right: “He said, ‘Are you sort of walking funny, what’s going on?’ And I said, ‘I’ve been doing this thing with wolves,’ and he goes, ‘You know you’re not a wolf, right?‘” “I said, ‘Well, there’s no such thing as a wolverine,‘” Jackman said, erroneously. He was instructed to “go to the zoo, dude.”

JAKH
2024-04-18 08:24:57 +0000 UTCA wolverine is a mustelid, related to weasels, ferrets, minks, martens, otters, and badgers. About 2 feet long, they are territorial and will attack black bears and brown/grizzly bears. P.S. Wolverine, Sabertooth, and Deadpool are all Canadian.
JAKH
2024-04-18 08:07:11 +0000 UTCAnd formerly widespread in the upper Midwest states of Michigan and Wisconsin. The Wolverine is the mascot of the University of Michigan, and Cassie saw it as the high school mascot in "Red Dawn".
JAKH
2024-04-18 08:04:44 +0000 UTCfor those not into comics: Wolverine is 5 FOOT 3 INCHES in the comic. It's why he gets called Runt or Pipsqueak by his main rivals like Sabertooth. The guy who was actually 6'3" in the comics was Cyclops (same height as Hugh Jackman). Due to his ferocious attacks BUT SMALL in stature he was named after Wolverines. Also for Cassie and Carly the Terminator kid in the school was 'Colossus' (which Cassie you saw in both Deadpool movies)
Chuck M
2024-04-18 07:20:22 +0000 UTCAre the Wolverine movies part of the X-MEN series reactions??? Just curious.
Shawn Kildal
2024-04-18 06:01:56 +0000 UTCThe 3 greatest superhero casting IMO: 1) Christopher Reeve as Superman, 2) Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine and 3) Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man
Shawn Kildal
2024-04-18 06:00:16 +0000 UTCGreat reaction,.... but both of you claim to be Canadians and DON'T know about wolverines? the largest of the weasel family, and one of the most aggressive - it can scare off wolves and bears from prey, and kill a moose by itself in the right circumstances. I first learned about wolverines as a kid living in England, but animals have always had a fascination for me anyway,... Great insights from both of you to pick up on some of the story lines,.... And as for Jean Grey, she has a another name in the comics,... which at the end in the lake you could see her "other" form,... won't say more than that,...

2024-04-18 04:59:38 +0000 UTCJust finished watching along with you and Carly…and I absolutely adore you guys! No…there was no post credit scene in this movie, but you and Carly provided one of the best post reactions scenes I have seen to date with your quest to determine if a wolverine is real or fantasy 😂😂😂 The anticipation is growing fast in both of you to learn more about this universe, especially with what happened in the past. You both asked some really good questions throughout the reaction and at the end…all of which will be answered as you move forward in the series. If you have a chance go back and watch the final scene of the movie and watch the water closely…that’s all I’ll say. By the way, did anyone notice what appeared to be claw marks on the headboard behind Cassie’s left ear? 🤔 Can’t wait for X3: The Last Stand
Dan M
2024-04-18 04:53:59 +0000 UTCI love wolverines. You gotta love an animal that small that can make a bear or timber wolf back down.
Ben Livingstone
2024-04-18 04:13:22 +0000 UTC"The wolverine is found primarily in remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine tundra of the Northern Hemisphere, with the greatest numbers in Northern Canada, the U.S. state of Alaska, the mainland Nordic countries of Europe, and throughout western Russia and Siberia."

Larry Darrell
2024-04-18 03:55:47 +0000 UTCMy two complaints is they managed to screw up The Phoenix Saga - one of the greatest stories in comics - not once but TWICE... and that they based the entire franchise around an utterly unrecognizable alt version of Mystique.
Story Archer
2024-04-18 03:53:40 +0000 UTCSeriously - how do you screw up The Phoenix Saga not once but TWICE??? One of the greatest stories in comics history reduced bait-and-switch side stories...

2024-04-18 03:50:20 +0000 UTCBtw, X-Men 3 *does* have a post credit scene. Make sure you watch that when you get to it.
Cody Nelson
2024-04-18 03:43:48 +0000 UTCI wouldn't feel too bad about not knowing what a wolverine is (even though they are native to Canada lol), Hugh Jackman went to the audition thinking it was a type of mythical wolf/man hybrid, and admitted he even studied wolves a bit thinking he was prepping for the role.

2024-04-18 02:28:32 +0000 UTCYeah. I feel like if we were given proper time to watch them fall in love, Scott and Jean could've been much more likeable, and their love story in these film more worth caring about. Imagine if they had a relationship akin to Steve and Peggy in the MCU. Imagine if we cared that much about them both as a couple and more individually in this movie series. We also saw Scott be a leader consistently in battle in the animated series, yet in this he's just Jean's boyfriend who shoots lazer eyes.

2024-04-18 02:28:11 +0000 UTCDespite what some are saying, x3 and wolverine origins are both worth watching. They'll make Logan even more impactful and they'll give you the full scope.

2024-04-18 02:26:35 +0000 UTCBobby's brother Ronny: "MY BROTHER'S TOO WEIRD! I'M GONNA CALL THE COPS! DUUUR!" Honestly one of the most illogical plot points. 😂 Also to give you some heads up, while this movie doesn't have an end credits scene, be aware that X-Men 3 has quite an important one.
YodatheHobbit
2024-04-18 02:23:10 +0000 UTCAlso Charles doesn’t freeze time. He kind of pauses all higher brain function and keeps people paused. So they keep breathing but just don’t remember what happened. But the world keeps moving. It’s not time that’s affected.

2024-04-18 01:54:30 +0000 UTCHere’s a fun fact for ya Cassie… In the comics the X-Men are part of the larger Marvel universe, Black Panther and Storm were childhood sweethearts and rekindle their romance, fall in love and get married. She becomes the Queen of Wakanda. It’s pretty awesome.

2024-04-18 01:19:48 +0000 UTCThe scenes where Bobby comes out to his parents as a mutant, Ian Macallan (magneto/Gandalf) helped write. He based it largely on his own experience coming out as gay to his own family.

2024-04-18 01:17:54 +0000 UTCCassie: with the timeline of Xmen/mutant related movies becoming complicated after Xmen 3, here's the list of their release order (as you had mentioned planning to watch in release order), as well as notes for which ones have extra scenes during or after credits: 1.

Scott Macaulay
2024-04-17 23:53:42 +0000 UTCThe things that happened to Jean were major elements of the plot. The creative team wanted to keep it a secret and went to huge lengths to do so. They even kept it from actress Famke Janssen, until halfway through production of the movie.

2024-04-17 23:44:11 +0000 UTCLove this one. Night crawler opening is fantastic. You see and hear mystique when she is trying to seduce the security guard in the bathroom. No blue naked makeup. The Wolverine is real and they live in northern Alberta as well as Banff National park. I've seen a taxidermied one in Banff. The claws can take down a moose!

2024-04-17 23:38:08 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, ladies! Cassie, you did hear Mystique talk in the helicopter as she kicked the senator repeatedly in the face in the first movie! "People like you made me afraid to go to school as a child."

2024-04-17 22:36:26 +0000 UTCThe Wolverine is known for it's ferocity and strength out of proportion to its small size. The name makes half sense for the movies as Logan is indeed ferocious but Hugh Jackman is 6 ft 3 in towering over most of the characters. In the comics Logan is actually 5 ft 3 in very much on the smaller side. So you can see why the name refers to his small height, ferocity and strength once you realise the character is short in the comics. Most of the male Marvel characters tower over Wolverine so seeing a 5 ft 3 in Wolverine going up against someone like Hulk is just the extra impressive. Hugh Jackman is actually taller than Chris Evan's who is 6 ft so Wolverine in the films is taller than Captain America. Steve of course towers over Logan in the comics. Jackman is perfect casting for Wolverine but I hope they cast someone on the shorter side for the next Wolverine, maybe not 5 ft 3 in but in the 5 ft 5 in range. I know there's fan castings for Daniel Radcliffe (5 ft 5 in) to play Wolverine and I think he'd nail the character after growing some facial hair.
LittleGalaxyBoy
2024-04-17 22:29:55 +0000 UTCThis was so easily the best ever superhero movie when it came out and still stands very well regarded to this day. Again there is a bunch that is complete abstraction from the source material (Mystique is actually Nightcrawler's mother.... and he's supposed to be fluffy), but the core of the movie and the chemistry between its stars remains solid. And this is as good as it got until First Class. X3 is an absolute disaster from plot to execution. And the Wolverine Origin is as bad if not worse (even Ryan Reynolds lampoons how bad in Deadpool 2).

2024-04-17 22:20:51 +0000 UTCOne little thing- *Jean* wasn't more powerful than she thought, however... On another note, remember this wasn't much after the X-men animated series, the *fire* in Jeans eyes and the *bird* image on the water had many of us very excited for the third movie. It could have been cosmic, but it wasn't.

MatthewBrown74m
2024-04-17 20:56:20 +0000 UTCFun fact related to the outro: Wolverine has been translated in the Hungarian dub and subtitle to 'Farkas' (Wolf) because the studio felt people wouldn't have any idea what a 'rozsomák' (wolverine) is. They were kind of right in that regard. But it really angered the few fans who read the comics where they have used his properly translated name.
Gábor Árki
2024-04-17 20:46:05 +0000 UTCAhhhh...X2. Before the MCU was a thing, this was, for me, the best of the best of the Marvel movies--this, and Spider-Man 2. It's just first rate all-around. A little annoyed that Cyclops disappears for most of the movie--he was always my favorite from the comics--but the movie's so damn good, I kind of forget he's gone. And also, NIghtcrawler!

Alex Gorell
2024-04-17 20:13:11 +0000 UTCI appreciate Cassie and Carly watching the first two X-Men movies so close together. They said they'd be watching in release order, which means "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" are next. I expect they'll like them well enough but have similar opinions as fans that the next two aren't as good as the first two, to put it GENTLY. After those bumps in the road, things get back on track with "X-Men: First Class", which is the movie that Jennifer Lawrence portrays a younger Mystique. "First Class" is very good but the next movie, "Days of Future Past" is the best X-Men team movie. I can't wait to watch that again with Cassie and Carly's reaction!
Rod Reavern
2024-04-17 20:12:15 +0000 UTCXavier can't freeze time, rather he just uses his mind control powers to make everyone still. You'll notice that the tv was still playing and you can even hear a voice on the phone of one of the frozen people saying "Hello? Are you there?" I'm really impressed Cassie with how fast you picked up on the clues and figured things out before they were revealed! Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful as the emperor has foreseen.

Mike LL
2024-04-17 19:17:43 +0000 UTCWolverines are one of my favorite animals. Indigenous to Alaska, Northern Canada and Montana. I think they might be the most ferocious animal in the world next to the honey badger. They are carnivors and are capable of taking down prey much bigger than them. If other predators like wolves, bears, and mountain lions encounter a wolverine, it never ends well. They don't back down and will scratch, claw, and bite with a fury (There are YouTube videos).
Zane From Canada
2024-04-17 19:17:40 +0000 UTCBit sad, but not overly surprised that they didn’t ID Xenia Onatopp and Boris Grishenkov from 007 Goldeneye though
Gunnar Rea
2024-04-17 19:11:55 +0000 UTCWolverines are like large ferocious badgers (30-50 pounds) - - so, much smaller than bears. Also, smaller than wolves. The Xavier-Magneto relationship being like Dumbledore-Grindelwald is pretty acurate. It's actual a typical comic book trope where the hero and villain were once close friends.

Mike LL
2024-04-17 18:48:41 +0000 UTCIn the comics, Wolverine is short (5'3") which is why he is named after a small, ferocious creature with sharp claws. Hugh Jackman is one whole foot taller than the comics character. https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/giant-size-x-men-jean-grey-cyclops-wolverine-horizontal.jpg

ROBERT CLARK
2024-04-17 18:47:11 +0000 UTCDave - 💯 yes! X2 ramped it up and First Class and Days of Future Past took it next level, which I think all three heavily influenced future superhero movies.
Rose
2024-04-17 18:41:09 +0000 UTCI'm impressed at how quickly Carly picks up on political thriller plots. Her picking out that Stryker was behind the president's attack just from the scar on nightcrawler was impressive. I'm trying to think of some fast paced political thrillers that would be fun to see her watch.

ROBERT CLARK
2024-04-17 18:37:49 +0000 UTCYes. I have been mentioning this every chance I get. Watch the third one all the way through the end credits. I literally announced that to the people waiting in line for the next showing as I was emerging from the screening when I saw it in the theater.

2024-04-17 18:26:36 +0000 UTCI skipped the theatrical run of the first X-MEN because I never read those comics when I was a kid (aside from the odd Wolverine story here and there) and I never watched the '90s cartoon, so I had no interest in it. When I caught it on home video, I loved it, so this was the first X-Men movie I saw in the theater and for my money it's probably the best of the whole franchise (not including LOGAN which is kind of its own thing as you'll see when you get to it). The next one is where the series starts to go a bit awry.

2024-04-17 18:10:22 +0000 UTCI think this is one of the rare exceptions where the sequel surpasses the original. When you both get to X-Men: The Last Stand be sure to watch until the very end of the credits!!!

Jaccob Cortes
2024-04-17 17:52:22 +0000 UTCWasn't there originally a script written for a Nightcrawler origin/spin off/stand alone film which got scraped?
ROBERT CLARK
2024-04-17 17:50:22 +0000 UTCX2 (2003) Based on: This film is based on one of my favourite X-Men stories called X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills a graphic novel published in 1982. In this story Professor X like the film is tricked/forced into killing all mutants after being captured by Stryker and stuck into a machine. The X-Men then team up with Magneto to save Charles an element also featured in the film. For X2 they also mixed God Loves, Man Kills with the Origin of Wolverine, combining these two together and placing William as the one behind these experiments. The movies for the most part are loosely based on the stories and characters from the comics but not straight one-for-one adaptions. Wolverine is great but looking back it's crazy how much develop he got compared to everyone else. ------------------------------------------------------------------ William Stryker: William Stryker himself made his first appearance in X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills (1982). In the comics he's actually a Reverend, religious fanatic, and anti-Mutant televangelist who has zero connections to Wolverine in the comics or Experimentations of Mutants. He's a Preacher with a large following of Anti Mutant's civilians and Anti Mutant Paramilitary groups, William himself has a Military background in the comics but like I mentioned he has no real connection to the experiments behind Wolverine, idea of Stryker being the one behind the experimentation on Logan and Mutants in general was created for this film. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Nightcrawler: Nightcrawler is such an amazing character introduced in Giant Sized X-Men #1 (1975) a comic that brought the X-Men back after a 5 years hiatus. This comic also introduced Storm, Wolverine, Banshee, Colossus, and Thunderbird as a new generation of X-Men. I fell in love with Nightcrawler (Along with his mother and adopted sister) from the X-Men Animated Series so I was so happy to see him in this film. Nightcrawlers Mother? Nightcrawlers mother in the comics is actually Mystique but this aspect of his character is never explored in these movies. For the movies I don't think it's even canonical that Mystique is the mother of Nightcrawler so don't take this as being true for the movies. Rogue is Nightcrawlers Sister? Rogue is actually Nightcrawlers non biological sister in the comics and Animated Series. She was raised and mentored by Mystique during her time under a new identity, Rogue saw her as mother figure but had no idea it was actually Mystique until later. But this is not the case for the movies with how Rogues movie origin is very differant to the comics, Rogue has zero connection to Mystique in these films or any connections to Magneto beyond being captured by him in the first film. Also because of legal rights Rogue as a character was also nerfed pretty hard as well. A big part of her early years in the comics before she joined the X-Men was how she stole Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers, later known as Captain Marvel) powers giving Rogue superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and the ability to fly. Because Fox only had the rights to the X-Men they couldn't use Ms. Marvel so this story was never featured in the movies. Rogue is still a fun character in the films but power wise she's nothing compared to her comic and Animated Series counterpart. If comic or Animated Series Rogue showed up in Infinity War (2018) Thano's would've been defeated in seconds, comic/Animated Series Storm could've wiped the floor clean of Thanos as well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Newly introduced X-Men: Colossus & Pyro: The Mutant you referred to as the Terminator is Colossus a Russian mutant introduced in Giant-Size X-Men #1 alongside Storm and Wolverine. There's also the young Pyro, St. John Allerdyce who first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #141 (1981) a member of Brotherhood of Mutants who in this film goes with Magneto at the end hinting towards his role in future films. Jubilee: We do see Jubilation (Jubilee) Lee as well the young Asian mutant with a very colourful blue coat over a pink shirt. She first appeared in the Uncanny X-Men #244 (1989) and plays a big part in the Generation X spin off comics, Pretty much a side X-Men team consisted of teenage mutants. Jubilee was also an important character in the X-Men Animated Series (1994) being the main focus of the first episode and story arc so alot of 1990s fans grew up with Jubilee as a main character who as of 2024 is also heavily featured in X-Men 97 and is one of my personal favourite characters. Sad that she never got the chance to shine in the films beyond being a background cameo. Lady Deathstrike: Lady Deathstrike, Yuriko Oyama the Asian woman we see with the adamantium nails. She first appeared as Yuriko Oyama in Daredevil #197 (1983) and later as Lady Deathstrike in Alpha Flight #33 (1986). Alpha Flight is Canada's answer to The Avengers made up of Canadian superhero's with Wolverine actually being a former member in the comics. I'm pretty sure Fox didn't own the rights to Alpha Flight as they don't fall under the X-Men IP so that's why the team is never mentioned in the X-Men movies. As you can see from alot of these characters they do have connections beyond the X-Men comics showcasing the greater marvel universe. Again legally everything was divided up between studios so this couldn't happen in the movies during the 2000s and 2010s but now with Marvel owning the rights to X-Men they are free to go whatever they want.

2024-04-17 17:14:41 +0000 UTCThat opening scene was definitely the best X-Men thing I'd seen on film until First Class came out(First Class is the only X-Men movie I at least "like" that doesn't have "Logan" or "Deadpool" in its title).
sarCC
2024-04-17 17:14:06 +0000 UTCThe introduction of Nightcrawler was a great move. I'm kind of gutted that Colossus wasnt part of the main team as he was in the comics. Although he does have his moments in the deadpool series. His brief armour up scene was dope. Yeah he kinda does look like the T2!. No not the T100 calc 🤣 Good call by Carly also, that was floop from Spy Kids and also Boris in Goldeneye
rakesh
2024-04-17 16:59:31 +0000 UTCI agree. Just like with the Star Trek movie series, there are some movies that are disappointing, but they should still be seen, especially to fully appreciate the really good movies and maybe not miss any important bits of info.
