What is the best and worst X-Men movie? Support this week's charity - pipfilm.com/ Animation by Kritken - kzfaq.info X-Month logo by - kzfaq.info

I hate how Nightcrawler was just tossed aside after X2. He's one of the best X-Men in history.

"this is the only way" 1) ice man is nowhere near that powerful yet 2) Storm has atmospheric /temperature control, not water control 3) Xavier doesn't have telekinesis

Everyone says xmen uses blue too much. The truth is that blue was chosen in the comics since it was one of the cheaper colors(along with green and purple)

That opening Nightcrawler scene still holds up.

Nightcrawler doesn't know the thickness of the walls Iceman is not that powerful yet Storm has never demonstrated such control of nature that she could ever stop a flood And the professor is telepathic, not telekinetic.

Actually there did exist a comic where Mystique and Wolverine were a couple! In fact, believe it or not, Mystique was actually once Wolverine's lover before his memory was erased during the Weapon X project!

During the scene where Magneto escapes his prison my son (9) said that "Magneto is cool!". All I could reply was: "Yes. Yes he is."

In defense of Magneto using the little metal balls I think that shows creativity of his power. He took the iron out of that guy’s body and turned it into his escape tools.

"Xavier couldn't have lifted the plane from inside?" ....No....no he couldn't have.

How can you claim that Pyro's change in allegiance isn't justified? Pyro clearly shows hostility towards humans in the opening scene at the museum and when he literally tells the police to fear him before he attacks them at Iceman's house. He's following along and keeping his head down while he's at the school, but he clearly doesn't agree with Xavier's ideology. So when Magneto tells him that he's a god and that his mutant identity is more important than his human identity, he finally feels validated and instantly jumps ship. Did you even watch the movie Doug?

"Xavier couldn't have lifted the plane from the inside?" Doug, Xavier can't even move his legs with his powers, why the hell would he be able to move a jet?

I know it’s a cliché, but I actually think Magneto saying “You should of killed me when you had the chance!” Kinda works. Most villains say it as a taunt, but I feel like Magneto genuinely means it. For all their differences, he would rather die then betray his friend. He’s not taunting Xavier, he’s speaking out of guilt/remorse.

The opening of seeing nightcrawler kick ass is still kick ass. And the lady death strike and wolverine fight was awesome.

1.) From the moment Pyro is introduced, its very clear he's not interested in being a hero (especially when he incinerates the police). Magneto offers him the opportunity to run wild while Professor X reprimands him for his "showing out" at the mall. 2.) Stryker's mutant subordinates are kept under control using mind-altering drugs, that's all that matters. 3.) The main point of showing Iceman's family is to give further commentary on social issues, like the first movie's "Are mutants dangerous?" 4.) I'm sure its pretty difficult to smell people when they're operating underground and covered by a pretty decent amount of snow, even for Wolverine. 5.) Mystique spends her time in the first movie with a frog-man, lion-man, and old man. Why wouldn't she make a move on Wolverine?

7:32 Now this is a common misconception. X-Men fans don't hate Cyclops. In fact, comic fans often rank him pretty high. X-Men MOVIE fans hate Cyclops because he's written about as well as Bane in Batman & Robin.

Everyone's talking about how Xavier couldn't have lifted the plane. But why couldn't JEAN lift the plane from inside?

Xavier isn’t a telekinetic. He can’t move things, so no he couldn’t have lifted the plane. Jean not lifting the plane from the inside has always bugged me, though.

"Even facebook has better security" and all facebook plataforms crashed today, coincidence? I think not.

You really brushed over one of my all time favorite scenes: when Pyro attacked the police. This helped lay the groundwork for his siding with Magneto.

The key thing with Wolverines claw would work. The key column is just a straight shot with grooves in it. So hes essentially just smoothing the grooves. You can do that with screw drivers too. It breaks the column so anyone can use it afterwards but, that's how it works.

Who else agrees that Alan Cumming as NightCrawler was the highlight of the film 😄👌

Their security system is Wolverine. What better security do you need?

"Future botched storylines" - SPOT RESERVED FOR DARK PHOENIX - Boy, did he call that one.

I mean, yes, the whole floating platform thing DOES look silly, but it IS the sort of thing Magneto would do...

18:00 Suddenly several of the female characters have the hots for Wolverine. It's almost as though he was played by Hugh Jackman, voted the world's hottest man or something ;)

Okay first, the Professor can NOT move things with his mind. Second, this movie has its flaws but it will always be one of my favorite X-Men movies. I did not realize this comment would cause so much anger. I've never read anything where he moved stuff with his mind. My bad. I still don't think he could move a plane.

When Rogue was fumbling with the seat belt on the jet, isn't she just having trouble because of her gloves (trying to use a cloth surface to grip smooth metal)? That's the impression that I got, and it makes MUCH more sense than "the seat belt on our super high-tech jet is broken".

I'm pretty sure Nightcrawler's fear of teleportation was actually explained in the movie. It's the classic teleportation problem. If he doesn't know the location, he could end up teleporting into something solid. Catching Rogue was easy as she was in freefall, as well as getting back on the plane since he knew the layout. He DOESN'T know the interior of the base (not in active memory anyway) so it carries much more risk. If anything, the movie performs a bit of a foul because it doesn't address that when he teleports with other people, it debilitates him pretty heavily as he's been known to pass out from the strain.

10:32 so are we just not gonna talk about wolverine's x-phone

Jean wanted to die. I always thought it was strange, until I realised she feared her power (knowing she was unable to control it). She intended to die in that moment.

'storm couldn't have steered the water away?' Storm controls the weather, but she doesn't have any control over water itself to my knowledge. 'Xavier couldn't lift the plane from inside' I thought Xavier was only telepathic, not telekinetic?

I know that it's something popular to harp on with these movies but Flight, Super Strength, Super durability were never part of Rogue's original power set and were stolen from the person that didn't have her own movie until this year.

Xavier is ONLY a telepath, he does not (and I can’t stress this enough) have telekinetic powers in the slightest. Jean has both.

I think that the scene where Magneto escapes is actually pretty badass

This was the first X Men film I ever saw. Sure there are a few problems, but it's still a great entry. Also the scenes that have Xavier and Stryker's son is supposed to be slow to signify how hard Charles is fighting back.

"He could have picked up the plane from inside" Since when is Xavier telekinetic? I thought he could mess with people's heads, never throw things with his mind.

The Nightcrawler attack scene is one of the best action sequences I've ever seen

Oh like you wouldn't tap Mystique. 😍

When Xavier paused everyone all I could think about was how nobody could blink, their eyes must be so sore!

So… Dark Phoenix arrived at its reserved spot

Xavier doesn’t have telikinesis, storm can’t control running water, that’s not part of weather, ice man is a kid and not that strong But yeah jean could probably lift the plane from inside, but even if you say she couldn’t put so much force on the water without being next to it, nightcrawler could just teleport Jean away as soon as the plane got lifted

Ummmm, Prof X is a telepath, not a telekinetic

the thing about nightcrawler teleporting out of the plane is that it was in the air, there was no chance that he could teleport into somthing dangerous, he teleported roughly where he thought she was and caught her, i do admit him teleporting back inside the plane is a stretch, but you could blame that on stress, people can do crazy things when they are under a lot of stress, in the facility, nightcrawler wasnt under any real stress, at least not in the same way as before, so he didnt think he could teleport into a room where he could easely accidently telleport into somthing.

7:14 "This isn't over, Bears!" in the bottom right XD

Alan Cummings is an amazing actor, his portrayal of Nightcrawler is one of the best performances in super hero movies to date.

Dude, watch X-men Evolution. Rogue can't fly there either but is still plenty capable.

I will say that I have four issues with this review. One: It was pretty obvious from the start that Pyro was going to join Magneto. I don't think you should be claiming it was a surprise, unless you weren't paying attention. Two: The opening fight scene and, yes, the airplane scene you keep referring to both imply, at least to me, ahead of time that Nightcrawler doesn't actually *need* to see where he's going to teleport there, because at least once in both scenes (though it's hard to tell in the fight scene, so I may be mistaken) he isn't looking at where he ends up. The exact wording of his explanation suggest this too. All he actually needs is a general idea of the direction and distance to the target point. He's just afraid (perhaps justifiably so) of ending up inside a solid object. When mind-controlled and when operating on reflex, i.e. when he isn't thinking about it, he pulls it off with no trouble. But this is mostly just my own theory; I don't know if anything else corroborates it. Three: Xavier can't lift planes. His power is purely telepathic in nature. You really should know that. Four: Not even a single mention of the many gratuitous boob shots of Mystique? I like boobs as much as anyone, but even I have to admit they went overboard. I mean, just look at 16:39 for ONE entirely unsubtle example. And not even a single joke about it? I'm disappointed. But everything else, I'm with you on. I wouldn't call this the best X-Men movie at all - if Logan counts, I'd definitely pick that, otherwise I'd say probably Days of Future Past. Probably.

Has anyone told him Rogue gets her powers from Captain Marvel? Like, seriously, come on.

Movie suggestions 1. Barnyard 2. "Damned" from Impractical Jokers 3. Punisher (1989) 4. Full reviews of Shark Tale, Over the Hedge, and Bee Movie 5. Hellboy (in preparation for the new movie)

That part when Nightcrawler was teleporting through the White House kicking ass was the best part of this movie.

9:23 Apparently, Wolverine secretly is Inspector Gadget

You actually can start a car with a blade, but lt's certainly not that easy or quick.

Nightcrawler is very politely asking somebody to leave in the church scene. He even uses a honorific :D "Sir/Madam go outside."

*GET TO HISTORY CLASS!!!!!!!* X-MEN Month Continues Folks!!!!!

"Now it's a Singer film." Well played!

2:34 (*sees reviews for Dark Phoenix) Well it's confirmed, Nostalgia Critic can predict bad movies of the future. He predicted Fant4stic, now this.

"Let it be known that X-Men hates N'SYNC." 😄😄

Talk about a sequel that 'X'cels in every way possible

11:39 I love how Wolverine’s reaction to getting shot is just “Oof!” He didn’t even really react, but it’s funnier this way

X2 was hands down my favorite X-men movie

THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING TO 12 YEAR OLD ME. and honestly i think its still holds up really well.

"starts a car with his claw. how the hell does that even work?" well you see nostalgia critic.. if you shove something metal hard enough into the key slot in the ignition it'll break the tumblers allowing the ignition to turn without the need for a key.... but than i'm proud of my education in stuff other than pedantic movie trivia

Doug, I thought you knew comics. Rogue can fly because she absorbed Ms Marvel (of all characters) powers! You can stop picking that bone now, it's getting old.

You know night crawler could of teleported outside the plan, see where rouge went, teleported to her and used his memory of the plane to teleport back

In the UK, it's just X-Men 2. Lucky us.

"Thats not how iron in the body works!" Yeah except it was a pun, the actual metal came from mystique injecting the guy while at the bar.....Kind of a very weird miss

19:26, I can understand Cyclops and maybe Fred being on there, but what's wrong with the other leaders, like Leonardo?

Actually, Mystique and Wolverine have had a history of flirtation that goes back to the old west in 616 canon

Magneto isn’t yelling ‘you should have killed me when you had the chance’ at Striker’s men in the prison, he’s directing it at Charles - that he was too much of a risk to have been left alive in the first place

I can prove I am the BIGGEST NERD EVER: In the X-Men animated series, right before Magneto offers to bust him out, Beast was in prison reading "Animal Farm". I wonder if there is a connection there.

10:56 oh whatever dude! That scene was badass! Nothing says I own this room like Ian McKellen Crossing his arms all standing on one of those Segway things.

I remember seeing Jean die when I was a kid and even then I thought, "wait, why is she doing that? She should move"

Cyclops doesn't have any speed feats in any media, you want him to dodge a pointblank shot? I mean you usually reach a bit but that was a lunge.

Go on KZfaq. No, I have no WiFi. Nostalgia critic has made a new video. DATA SHALL BE USED Edit OMG 86 likes that is the the most I have ever had thanks!

20:58 I always took that as showing Kurt's lack of confidence was unfounded and how he prioritized helping others

I seriouesly doubt you're an X-men fan if you think Xavier has Telekinesis. If he did, he would be flying everywhere instead of being confined to a wheelchair.

I used to watch this movie all the time. I was so obsessed with nightcrawler that I used to try and re-create the opening scene in my dads office

So, Rogue originally couldn't fly until she ran into Ms. Marvel (the current Captain Marvel) afterwards Rogue just has all the same powers as Captain Marvel plus, I think don't quote me, her Power Absorption mutation

Seriously though, X2's Nightcrawler's teleportation special effect looked way more well done than Wraith and Weapon XI's version in X-Men Origins.

11:00 - 11:18 Wait they give him that but not the colored costumes for everyone in this trilogy?! yeah that makes sense.

I was always addicted to the fight between Wolverine and Lady Deathstryke as a kid. It was so awesome and holds up well. Imagine if this was rated R, and we got Logan level of violence for the fight!

you know the movie did something right when everybody constantly still wishes that nightcrawler comes back

If Ian McKellen told me I was a god among insects, I'd join him in a heartbeat.

I'm surprised he didn't mention Wolverine's amazing line before he sees Stryker. As he closes the door on Iceman, Pyro, and Rogue he walks up to the soldiers and shouts, "You Wanna Shoot Me? SHOOT ME!" That's just awesome!

Take a shot every time Critic says "played again by"

Much like Spider-Man 2, the second movie of this trilogy still holds up. This really started a trend of "second movie is the best" that a lot of franchises had going on for many years.

I normally forget about this movie. Basically because nothing happens. All that happens is that Magneto is out of prison, Wolverine doesn’t have his dog tag, and Jean is underwater. Those are the only things that this movie amounts to and it could’ve all been an off screen. Except for Jean being underwater.

Do "Nostalgia Critic: Tom & Jerry in The Fast and The Furry", please!!!!

Hugh Jackman is the only man who could play a live action wolverine

No. Xavier could not have lifted the plane from inside.

“The school has no security system” Logan is the security system and 5:33 critic this is a movie actors constantly play roles younger and older than them

10:40 If you ever want fights with someone using an impossible amount of iron in people’s blood as a weapon, search Risotto Nero vs. Doppio from JJBA.

1:21 apparently ANGRY video game nerd is the master of magnetisum

Critic: Facebook has better security than you Me: Simple yet effective burn Critic lol

7:45 When it's a code red but the teacher doesn't lock the doors or even bother turning off the lights

"Arnold I need an ice pun...FROSTY!?" LMFAO....I laugh so hard at this all the time!

3:05 Let's be honest, that nightcrawler fight sequences is probably best X-Men moment since Quicksilver runs slow mo in the incredible sequence. Cumming was becoming a blue invisible.

I'm pretty sure xavier can't move objects with his mind

13:24 it's nice13:35 who cares? 13:58 even he hates 15:55 it a classic 16:55 all about him 17:10 this was a thing 17:20 seconds of chemistry , never brought up ever 22:48 we barely knew 23:56 totally not a threat 24:05 first of all I really doubt that would fly 24:15 for the sake of ending this 24:26 let's..know..loved him most 24:33 wait a minute , did she have a thing for you?25:15 cracked expections 25:29 how impressive again? ,Super long neatlessly slow , more plotholes and way too many characters for them to be interesting 26:00 mostly inconsistent26:10 joker
