This movie series did Cyclops & Jean so dirty like why😂they butchered the whole Phoenix storyline from jump & never once showed Scott being a good X Men leader. Thank god for the X Men cartoons can’t wait for the new film in 2 years

Arturo Mauleon Higginbotham.Jr.

As someone who can separate movies and comics. When I was little I didn't mind this movie. I still enjoy it. I don't hate it as much as others do. But I am excited to see more reactions to the X-Men movies.

Macs

I really hope you guys do first class and days of future past (rouge cut), end with logan

Macs

btw there is a double up on the audio, one is running about a 1/2 second faster then the other, it not the uncut its the yt one

Legion

X2 is my favorite X-Men movie so going from that to X3 was a massive letdown. Everyone gets done dirty. I liked the music though.

Jon Mercano

As revealed by the commentary, the man with no consiousness who Xavier transfers himself into is Xavier’s twin brother, only identified as P. Xavier So Nightcrawler’s absence in universe is explained in the bridge game. He does become an X Man for a bit but then decides to leave because he finds it too violent •Out of universe, Alan Cumming didn’t want to return because the make up process took 4 hours. By the time Brett Ratner took over for Bryan Singer, Nightcrawler’s role was very small, so it was easy to just cut him out completely Cyclops’s role was cutdown because James Marsden was less available due to being in Superman Returns You seriously need to get on the old 90s cartoon, it has a proper adaptation of the Phoenix story And Evolution

Jon Mercano

🤞Origins Wolverine please

THEY DID CYCLOPS SO DIRTY IN ALL OF THESE DAMN MOVIES. #JUSITCE4SCOTT in DOOMSDAY.

ToyBox

Sunday Rundown So, some things that is never really addressed in this movie, majority of the characters that join Magneto and his Brotherhood are the Morlocks. The morlocks are a group of mutants who are deemed unfit to live in human society, so they live in the sewers. Think like the mutants in Futurama. Which makes it funny because the kid who they're getting the cure from is one of the most famous Morlocks, Leech. If you remember, in X-men '97, there was a green kid who Magneto rescued and told he would never have to be afraid again that's Leech. Cain Marco, aka The Juggernaut, is Charles Xavier's half-brother and is not a mutant. He gets his powers from an item called the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak. (In Infinity War, the red chains at Doctor Strange put on Thanos, those invoked the name of Cyttorak) Juggernaut started out as a villain, but as time goes on his things that he just hates his brother. It's at a point now where he's actually friends with a bunch of mutants, and he's even currently a member of the X-Men, just as long as Charles is not involved he's actually really chill.

Richard Kors

Cyclops got put in the freezer , I hope yall watch Xmen first class it’s amazing and Days of future past saves this movie

Stan the Man

This will be a long post but It’s ridiculous how nerfed these movies are with powers. Even X2, they raid a mutant school where we have crazy powerful ice and fire people. But all we get is PG-13 Wolverine cause his power is cheap to produce on the budget. Colossus was shown for like 8 frames then we cut away & don’t see him again until X3. But this movie just pisses me off. The head of the studio, Tom Rothman, had a “No Giant Robots” rule. They couldn’t have sentinels. So all we got was a sentinel head. They have storm shoot lightning. Again, easy and cheap. Phoenix stands around the entire 3rd act doing nothing. Beast looks TERRIBLE. Beast should be a massive agile dude. He shouldn’t look like they dyed his hair with food colouring. He should’ve been a cgi thing. Oh and tough guy Wolverine cries how many times in this movie? (Also. Whoever did his hair should never be allowed near a movie set again. He looks so bad when he’s giving his little speech in the ready room before they all hop on the jet) Also they have Angel in this movie…for what? He shows up at the end to save his dad. He flew from New York to SAN Francisco just a little slower than the X-Jet? His story served zero purpose. God these movies suck and do not hold up. Magneto can literally create floating cities in comics. Here? He moves a bridge. He wants to kill the kid? He could destroy that entire island and lift it into outer space. And look at the mutants fighting at the end. No Toad, no Sabertooth, juggernaut does almost nothing and looks soo lame. It’s a bunch of no name goons. With guns and baseball bats?? Magneto wouldn’t let guns in his army. Thankfully the Deadpool flicks finally gave these characters some juice. We got awesome Colossus, awesome Juggernaut, awesome Wolverine in his suit and mask. The start of this movie should’ve been like the end of The Exorcist. Charles and Magneto go to young Jeans house, it’s night, ominious, thundering and lightning. Her parents are at wits end. As Charles is about to enter the house a priest runs out terrified at what he’s seeing. Have it that this is the psychic battle that cost Charles his ability to walk. Open the movie with this crazy battle between Phoenix and Charles/Magneto. It gets scary. Jean/Phoenix kills her parents. Again, make it like the end of The Exorcist except with mutant powers. And have the plot not be a cure but a robot army that can track mutants by some unknown way. So the final movie is Jean/Phoenix and Sentinels. Ugh… like these movies look so cheap. Even X2 with its awesome opening, we see might crawler do almost nothing else for the rest of the movie. The script had him fighting toad at Strykers base but they cut it due to budget.

Whole Euphoria couch didn't catch Nate's dad

I'd love to see you watch all of the X-movies, but I get it if you have to pick and choose. Definitely First Class and Days of Future Past (the Rogue Cut is better), and Logan is a must (might be the best of the bunch). Maybe you could do X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Wolverine, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix and New Mutants as a short "bad" Marvel movie run sometime later. :-). I'd also suggest rewatching Deadpool and Wolverine after you've watched all the X-movies you plan to watch. Most of the couch couldn't fully appreciate that one at the time they watched it because they didn't know about a lot of the characters who were brought back for it. That movie is much better when you recognize some of the characters they brought back. New Mutants gets slammed- it's the very last Fox Marvel movie and got delayed, rescheduled and barely made it to theaters due to Disney buying Fox and thereby returning the X-Men rights to Marvel. After all that, New Mutants released during Covid- no surprise it bombed at the box office because nobody went to see it. I didn't and I'd seen every X-movie in theater until then.

Once again, PLEASE watch "X-MEN ORIGINS: Wolverine"! This reaction makes me even more confident that you'll have an insane time with that film. 🥰 Ideally, "ORIGINS: Wolverine", then "First Class", then "The Wolverine" (which leads directly into DoFP), then "Days Of Future Past: Rogue Cut". SPECIFICALLY THE ROGUE CUT! --- I used to watch "Frasier" with my parents. When I was watching the 90's X-Men cartoon, I would think "Man, if they ever do a live-action X-Men - which will obviously never happen - Kelsey Grammer would make a PERFECT Beast!" Fast-forward to me watching this man, blue'n'hairy, hanging upside-down reading a book. My fantasy manifested on screen. That's the #1 reason why I will always love this movie, despite its horrendous flaws. 😄

Mark

Did Rana do ecstasy for this reaction or something? she is definitely on one

XOXO808

That’s Eric Dane the duplicate guy from Charmed but also Euphoria (Nate’s Dad) and other shows/movies! RIP to him! 🙏🏽! Zaddy 😩!

Michael Acuna

I still remember watching this in theaters at 11 years old, totally excellent.

Rando calrissian

I'm sorry dude this movie was fucking awesome. Did you not see how much they all enjoyed it

MyDude SnakePlisskin

Pat is a Skyrim guard confirmed. "Huh? Must've been the wind." 😂

Chris K.

the Normies: MAGNETO WAS RIGHT! FREEDOM FOR ALL MUTANTKIND! the Normies when a mutant with a "weird" power shows up: WTF?? EWW

SnapGrapplePop

The Wolverine films get better each film. Origins is bad but funny bad, 'The Wolverine' is fine, and Logan is obviously the best by far. Of the 'prequel' films I think there's only First Class and Days Of Future Past that are worth watching. Apocalypse & Dark Phoenix are probably the 2 worst of entire series

Tyler

Glad they enjoyed it but people are also allowed to have their opinions.

Rando calrissian

Cool story dude. I was just stating my opinion as well 😅

Arctic_stark

#Sunday Rundown Guys, you HAVE to watch XMen First Class and Days of Future Past. This first trilogy is really good but I think those two movies are a level above. You can leave out the Wolverine movies if you're only planning to do two more. Watch it ASAP! Also now that I see this movie again, I think it doesnt deserve the poor reputation it has developed over the years. I think most people were just really annoyed with the horrible reinterpretation of the Phoenix saga (one of the most beloved comicbook arcs in history) that the movie has remained tainted forever.

Sickleweed

Never liked this movie and still don't but loved your reactions to it, especially to the ending. Glad you're moving on to First Class and Days of Future Past cuz the franchise viewing deserves to end on a high note. 😄

CJ Dennis

Beast's look and make-up is one of the most praised things about the film and that's is one of the things that still holds up about these film. The way beast looks in later movies is probably what you are thinking of lol. Also, I'm pretty sure toad and Sabretooth died in the first movie lol 🤔. Nevertheless, while some of your complaints are understandable some are a little nitpicky, and sound more like they may be a result of being spoiled with post mcu films. For example, the Magneto allows some of his brotherhood to have guns is a nitpick. So too is Colossus having a small role in X2, and Wolverine only cries twice here (for completely understandable reasons) and even if he did cry more it's not that big a deal lol. Plus if you are not careful with that argument you could be insinuating the toxic masculine idea that tough grown men shouldn’t cry. I’m not saying that you are, it’s just something to consider. Perhaps you are saying that wolverine from the comics is so tough he normally wouldn’t cry, but even then it’s still not that big a deal lol. As far as these movies having to be a little cheap and couldn't go all out. I'm pretty sure technology and cgi at the time only allowed them to do so much even with a big budget. So to me complaining about that might be like someone saying that an epic movie made in the 70s does not hold up simply because of it doesn't have the effects were are able to have today lol. Lastly, I somewhat get the complaint about characters having nerfed powersets, but it's possible that it isn't done out of cheapness but so we can have actual stakes for a story. It's the superman thing of: you have to come up with good reasons for why characters are not ending half of their conflicts in an instant with all their great power. In addition, if you did keep characters overpowered then much like with superman you would have the section of the audiences that will complain about how boring it is to have overpowered characters and would prefer that they instead have limitations. Caveat: All of this isn't to bash you btw it's just a simple response to some of the points you made. Have a good one.

CJ Dennis

and Wolverine and The X-Men 😎.

CJ Dennis

@Rando Yeah the Normies enjoyed it but as Chris brought up there was period of time where it was easy to dunk on this film and see it as one of the worst comic book films. Now I personally don't think this film is the worst. It does have a lot of awesome moments and interesting ideas but it just doesn't all come together very well. See also Spiderman 3 which got the same reception of people hating it though now it's getting a bit of a resurgence, which X3 is not getting as much of lol 🤔.

Kay Bee Baby

Also most of the Morlocks have mutations that make it hard for them to pass as regular humans, meanwhile in this at least one is played by a model.

Stan the Man

Nope I am not thinking about the other movies. Beast looks like shit here. I mean…it’s bad. The hair looks terrible. I looks like they did the minimal amount of work to get him to look comic accurate. There’s no defined muscles, his teeth aren’t near pronounced enough. Hes called Beast! And his look was HEAVILY criticized at the time. Also it is 1000% cheapness. That wasn’t me guessing or theorizing. We know this is as a matter of fact. Tom Rothman was the studio head at the time(guess which studio he runs now?Just guess. I’ll give you a hint. “It’s morbin time”. Yep. Sony. All those shitty Morbius, Kraven, Madame Webb & Venom movies? That’s good Ol’ Tom). X2 infamously had its budget cut during production. The danger room was to be a pivotal set piece and was almost built before they lost 15 million dollars and had to cut it and several other major sequences. Toad vs nightcrawler being one of them. (Did you really say they died lol. My Dude. These are comic book movies. Death is a state of mind. And sabertooth has the same healing thing has Logan. He didn’t die). The script has all these sequences. In fact the first teaser, released prior to shooting, featured the original design for the danger room. The first x-men movie was made for 75 million which for an ensemble super hero movie is a joke. Fight Club cost more that! The first Spider-Man was made for 140 million. Just as a comparison. The first Hulk was about 150 million. X2? Was greenlit with a budget of 125 million before getting slashed to 110 million. But then X3 has a BIG jump to 210 million(others say it was really 170 million) in spending but not because the story demanded it. No. It was due to production being a giant mess. The behind the scenes drama on these flicks is something out of “the studio”(that Seth Rogan show). So after the success of X2 everyone expected Bryan Singer and his crew would be back to finish the trilogy. But Rothman took his time green-lighting development. Smart studios start the first weekend after release. So when WB’s Superman movie lost its director, Singer jumped ship & went to Warner Bros to do Superman Returns. He brought the entire X-Men production team with him. So then Mathew Vaughn was hired. A script was written under his supervision and production was set to begin in a matter of weeks. Vaughn cast Beast and Juggernaut. But then he quit. He’s given a few different answers on why but this was spring/summer 2005. Movie is due out May 2006. Most studios would move the date. But Tom Rothman refused. Why? He had a grudge to settle. He was pissed Singer jumped ship and taking all the writing and art department with him. Rothman therefore wanted X3 in theatres BEFORE Singer’s Superman movie. And he didn’t care what it cost to do that. And a VFX heavy movie with only months until release? You can do things fast or you can do them cheap. You can’t do both. And finally, no, it’s not that I was spoiled by the MCU. I just like good movies. 2 of the 3 X-Men movies are about 90 minutes long when you take out credits. 90 minutes for an ensemble team film. That isn’t acceptable. You could cut angel out of this movie completely and the only change to the story would be his dad dies. Give him something to do. Anyways, once again I’ve written another essay length comment. All of the behind the scenes stuff I mentioned is public knowledge so if you wanna look up the story for yourself, the truth is out there. Theres alot I left out. EDIT: Oh I just wanted to address the Wolverine crying thing. Toxic masculinity would be to say “men shouldn’t cry”. Which of course is ridiculous. But Wolverine wails over Charles’s empty chair. I don’t buy it. Would he cry over killing Jean? Sure. But Charles? No. Wolverine is a repressed type. He’s the type to make fun of someone for crying. It’s about what’s right for the character. And I wanted to address the “they couldn’t go all out even if they wanted to”. X2 came out in 2003. You know what other movies came out in 2003? 2 matrix sequels that have HUGE set pieces of action, mayhem and destruction. Hulk came out in 2003. Lord of the Rings Return of the King. Pirates of the Caribbean. Terminator 3. By this point we also have had 2 Star Wars prequels, A Spider-Man and Harry Potter. A few Jurassic Parks. So they ABSOLUTELY could do these things. And I get what you are saying about stakes but when you have a group of soldiers invade a mutant school and barely show the students using said powers? Wolverine taking out guys is cool and all but…I want to see ice man freeze guys. Colossus fighting back. The fact that Storm gets her ass handed to her in X3 by a some no name mutant it’s hilarious. Storm could create a tornado. They are surrounded by water! She could…ah there’s no point I’m sure you get the idea. And just as one final little note. I mentioned Tom Rothman has a “No giant Robot” rule. The first X-Men made after Rothman left Fox? Days of Future Past. Which has giant robots lol. And it’s funny. Mathew Vaughn would eventually get to make an X-Men film after quitting X3. He made First Class Oh. Here’s a link to the X2 teaser which featured what the Danger Room would’ve looked like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4rOlWiWtPc It was not a hologram based simulation like in X3, it was more of an agility, work out room. If you’ve seen x-Men evolution the TV show? It would’ve been like that. As scripted in X2, Wolverine, like in the finished film, comes back to the X-mansion and when he is baby sitting the kids when Storm, Jean, Scott and Prof X are gone He goes for a work out in the Danger Room. The room rotates, raises and lowers, and has projectiles that shoot out, steel cables that electrocute and these drone things that shoot sonic beams. Wolverine just tears the place up getting all his rage out.

Kay Bee Baby

There’s way worse movies out there, but of the original FoX-Men movies this one is definitely bad. It’s ok if you never touched an X-Men comic, but it gets so much worse if you know the stories this was based on. An amalgamation of bad choices all around. Why add a mutant cure storyline when the last time they hinted at the Phoenix (without any of the necessary build up), giving even more focus to Logan, killing off major characters for no reason in the dumbest ways possible. Scott getting killed off screen… this is the worst version of him but this is still that movies biggest fumble. X2 is the only good movie the other two Singer movies get worse the more you like the X-Men.

Digital Alikin

Another reason why I liked Fassbender Magneto more. He'd never side with someone who killed the professor

YoungBoy

yall have to watch first class, days of future past, and logan. It's a MUST

ImperialOoze

Please don't skip X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Step B.

Fellow ball knower 🤝🏾

Richard Kors

You got the wolverine trilogy (x men origins wolverine takes place before X1, the wolverine (which takes place after this) , Logan. First class (my favorite)and then days of future past

Sage

I never understood the massive hate for this movie. Is it the weakest of the first 3, yea probably but I always enjoyed plenty of aspects of the film. I never thought Scott was cool so I could care less how he’s portrayed

Sage

Please watch The Wolverine, such an underrated X-men movie and easily one of my favorites of the franchise. Love the Japanese setting

J. J.

Bobby is also an Omega level mutant, the guy can freeze the blood in your body and regenerate his with a single molecule of water.

CJ Dennis

You're gonna have to show sone evidence of people criticizing Beast's look (especially at the time), because I haven't come across too many people or critics saying that. Most people (even ones that despise X3) thought Kelsey Grammer was perfect casting and that the make up and design for him was great for live-action to the point that Nicholas Hoult's beast design was considered a complete downgrade. Nevertheless, I'm aware of most of the behind the scenes drama you mentioned. However, would X2 have been any better adding in the danger room or other big spectacules? Having a big spectacule of course does not always equate to a great quality film, ask later muc films like Quantumainia or even some of the blockbuster of the time you brought up like the matrix sequels and Hulk 🤔. Lastly, it's funny you bring up Storm getting tossed around in this 3rd movie as one it's major problems is how much was taken out that should have been left in. Like there are deleted scenes of the fight in the house that shows Storm fighting back with lighting punches or in the climax she does send in a flood at one point lol. Some last notes: yes Sabertooth has a healing factor but the first movie does not remotely explain that so it is easy for anyone to think that he didn't survive his fall. Same with Toad, as he has no healing factor so how did he survive getting struck by lightning and falling in the ocean. It being a comic book world is no excuse, there still has to be an explanation for how a character comes back after presumably being killed on screen 🤔. Also, having an essamble cast but giving some of the characters very little to do and shafting them has always been a fair criticism but it's not something that ultimately make the films overall bad. It also may speak to how X-Men often works better on tv than in movies 🤔. Have a good one.

Imane Bourhim

you HAVE to watch First Class and Day of Future Past

The Normies

New Mutants is the only x-men movie i've seen lol
