While the favouritism towards Wolverine in these films is sometimes understandable, the big problem with the X-Men films is that instead of being ensemble stories, they often felt like "Wolverine and others" stories.

So all the abilities Wolverine displays are natural to him, including his claws. The only thing the experiment did was graft the adamantium onto his skeleton, including the natural, bone claws he already had. Although they did augment the claws by making them longer and much more blade-like than their original form.

I consider this film the true catalyst that kicked off the modern era of Superhero films we've been in for the last 20+ years. And I'd say Blade (1998), is the final film of the "old order" of superhero films.

45:15 True. However, one thing you probably didn't know is that Spider-Man, the X-Men and Fantastic Four were actually Marvel's IP superhero characters. The Avengers weren't as popular as them. So when Kevin Fiege was starting the MCU, it was a big risk for him to rely on D list heros/characters like Iron Man, Captain America to be the new faces of the MCU. But it worked out, and now the Avengers are just as popular as the X-Men. So glad the rights isn't an issue anymore. The only character Marvel doesn't have the full rights to is Spider-Man. Fortunately, Sony is sharing the character. 🙏🏽💪

It's also kind of sad back then because some people keep saying that, "X-Men and Fantastic Four shouldn't return to Marvel," or "Marvel doesn't have anymore good stories from the comics to share. Should have ended after Endgame." Like no, Endgame was pretty basic, and the Infinity Gauntlet story is just a taste for way better stories in the Marvel comics. Plus, way better villains than freakin Thanos. No offense to people who are fans of him, but man Thanos is trash compare to great villains like Doctor Doom etc. Not to mention, since Marvel has the rights to all their characters again, they can explore tons of great interections. For instance, Wolverine and Captain America are best friends who fought in World War II. Not to mention the Weapon X program Wolverine was part of is the super soldier program Captain America was in. Wolverine is the tenth and Captain Americai is the first. Spider-Man and Human Torch are best friends in the comics, and we can finally see that in the future. The biggest one of all, some people don't know this, but Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are Magento's children. The MCU had to unfortunately retcon their connection to Magento in back than because because the rights shenanigans. Fortunately, that's no longer an issue, so Marvel can change it back. Regardless, I'm glad that's not an issue anymore, and we can finally see these interactions in the future! 👏

X-Men taught me perspective when I was 5 years old. Being a little kid I thought, good bad vs bad guy. Then when I saw this it blew my 5 year old mind thinking “whaaat? The good guy and bad guy used to be friends!?!?”

Professor X and Magneto is the best comicbook hero-villain dynamic ever! They are each other's oldest friends but their followers are each other's enemies! They may be enemies but they respect & care for each other! The single line that Magneto says to Pyro about Xavier in Last Stand will make you respect their relationship!

She said that they just kept giving her wine to make it "not quite so bad" and that she was nearly always at least buzzed when shooting scenes as a result.

Ian McKellen is a superb actor! He's in a great film called "Apt Pupil" (1998), which was adapted from a Stephen King novel. It stars the late Brad Renfro (who tragically died a 25), and also David Schwimmer (of 'Friends'). This is a GREAT film!!

*Fun fact;* Canonically in the comics, At a time when Rogue had joined Magnetos group, The Brotherhood (Of Evil Mutants), she was in a battle with (Carol Danvers) Captain Marvel, and permanently absorbed all of her super strength, and most of her flying ability, putting Captain Marvel into a long term coma. (effectively taking Carol's superman like O.P abilities out of the equation, for many years. Taking care of the whole, "why bother to send anybody else into the fight, when you have her"? issue) And from then on, Rogue was able to actually be a fighter in the stories, instead of hanging back, hoping for a chance to be able to touch someone 😁😎 (maybe the MCU will use that plotline some day😆)

I remember watching this film new at the theater. It has aged well and these X films are nice counterpoints to the MCU films.

I really REALLY hope you guys watch "Swordfish" at some point soon. It stars all the Marvel favorites before they actually joined Marvel. Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle, and John Travolta.

While I wouldn't say that this movie is my favourite X-Men movie or anything, I do still appreciate how, even back then, in the early 2000s, the film still kickstarted the superhero movie craze and indeed showed people the blockbuster/cinematic potential of superheroes but just in a more grounded universe which honestly works for the most part. Even though I wished we could've seen the X-men in this movie in their classic colourful outfits representing their identities, really focusing on members other than Wolverine all the time and going on exciting adventures, I do very understand that a lot of the stuff from the comics would've been pretty overwhelming to translate back in the early 2000's especially when superheroes weren't taken as seriously as they are today. Thankfully, we have amazing shows like the current ongoing X-Men 97 show that really shows the amazing potential of the franchise that FOX barely scratched the surface of, not to mention the upcoming Deadpool 3. I also admire how they show the grim reality of Magneto's past in that gut-wrenching opening.

15:44 One of Logan's most endearing qualities is his tendency to take in "at risk" mutants. Rogue isn't one of them in the comics but he has a small family put together. He's also very good at handling people who need space because he has ALL the trauma.

In some ways her career path is almost the reverse of Patrick Stewart who came to international acclaim playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard on the Star Trek: The Next Generation. After that show went off the air he got even more famous playing Professor Xavier in the X-Men movies.

You should also watch "X-Men making" which was released on Star movies channel... You'll get to know the amount of hardwork and make up hours mystique spent 😂.

40:50 Their friendship just like in the comics is the linchpin to this entire franchise whether the movies are good or bad. There's a reason Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan are beloved by millions of fans less than half their age. It's these characters.

Wolverine's mutant powers included healing power, as well as enhanced senses strength, reflexes and abilities, AND the claws were originally bones. What they did to him was graft adamantium to his bones, making him even more powerful.

7:53 SPOILER In case no one knows or remembers Sabertooth and Wolverine are brothers, in the Wolverine movie its explained and after he got shot in the head toward the end with a special bullet his memory was erased where he even forgot that he was married where he lost his wife as well as the people he saved and the memory of his brother …Im not sure if Sabertooth remembers him or not.

Little correction his original abilities did include the claws aswell as his healing factor. What they did was graph adimantium metal into his bones so his claws which are also made out of bone and is an extension of his skeleton have been turned into adamantium, the reason for that during the weapon x program on him is because his claws were breakable like any other bone so they “fixed” that

This is where the fun begins.

0:08 Yikes! Love you two's energy! 😂💪

This is a great film with great performances from all the cast they really did some great casting especially Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine/Logan he made the role his own.

Kristen might have found her calling. Understanding X-Men movies. lol

The easiest way to say what a wolverine is, is to say they are similar to a honey badger.

I've ALWAYS been an X-men fan since I was a little kid! Storm and Rogue were my faves!

I loved these movies back in the day but I just started watching The Rookie and it’s crazy seeing Shawn Ashmore all grown up 😂

10:33, these movies really do Cyclops a disservice. He is the first X-Man and practically like Captain America for the mutant community.

You two were little girls when this came out in the year 2000. Wow time flies. Remember this classic like it was yesterday.

Are yall doing all the xmen movies, Logan, the newer xmen movies and the new xmen 97?

I’m glad Kristen is watching the X-men movies! This is going to be a fun journey!☺️

Love these movies some are far superior to others but Sir Patrick Stewart,Sir Ian Mckellan and Hugh Jackman were born to play Professor Xavier,Magneto and Wolverine so many great quotes "why do you ask questions to which you already knlw the answers" "I'm looking for hope" "Does it hurt when they come out? Everytime" "I feel a great swell of pity for the poor soul who comes to that school looking for trouble"Love how excited Achara was during this movie especially when Cyclops turned up bouncing up and down hehe. Oh my god Kristen getting electrocuted at 7.50 hahaha 🤣🤣also Kristens giggle fits are my favourite things instantly brightens my day🤣great feaction guys so hyped for your journey through these movies😊

I mean, what's the point of Kristen even being here when she's fucking up the movie quotes 😂😂😂 great reaction team, can't wait for the next in the series ❤

Small correction, Wolverine has 2 powers, his healing and his bone claws. The bone claws were later covered in Adamantium like the rest of his skeleton. Also, he was born sometime between 1882 and 1885, so definitely older than the professor lol

Awesome reaction of my favorite X-Men movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
