We FINALLY Watched X MEN
Director: Bryan Singer
Writer: Tom DeSanto, Bryan Singer, David Hayter
Stars: Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen
Genre: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Release Date: 2000-07-14
In a world where mutants (evolved super-powered humans) exist and are discriminated against, two groups form for an inevitable clash: the supremacist Brotherhood, and the pacifist X-Men.
Something I learned just this week. When the little boy smiled at Cyclops in the train station, the extras didn't know what movie they were in but the kid was a huge Xman fan and when he saw the visor he knew it was Xmen.
Rogue’s hair is originally from the comics, the movie just used the stress from Magnetos machine to bring the hairstyle back
The professor couldn't detect mystique because everyone at the school where mutants if one where human he would be able to sense them. He's not constantly in people heads because he thinks it's an invasion of privacy.
Not to mention, he'd have mental overload from everyone's thoughts.
Slight correction.
Most telepaths in the Marvel universe maintain telepathic shields to protect them from the thoughts and feelings of others. If they don't, they can go mad because over time, they lose track of which thoughts and feelings are their own. This is extra bad because an insane telepath can cause a lot of suffering for a lot of people.
So Xavier maintains those shields unless he has a specific reason to lower them.

Rouge’s skunky streak in hair is her look in the comicbook it was cool how they gave a explanation how she got the streak in her hair
Rogue was the trendsetter and was ahead of her time in hair fashion 😂 great fun reaction 👌
This movie was the first movie where producers realized that they could do superhero movies in serious/dark manner and have it be commercially successful. This was the movie that paved the way for everything people love about Marvel today
marvel serious and dark ? nice joke, every marvel movie is one big comedy
@Thanatoros I didn't say that Marvel was serious and dark. I said this movie paved the way for everything people love about Marvel. Go take a look at superhero movies before this came out and after. There's a noticeable change.
Blade 1 an 2 had funny parts
@@BluEx22329I would say witty and sarcastic more like. And cuz of Wesley Snipes got that swagger and charisma. It's different. He's just that guy. Naturally a smart ass. Everybody else ain't got nothing but on my nerves with corny jokes/one liners that make ya wanna throw away the TV 🤣. Trying too hard to be funny on top of timing that's just off🤦.
Bro forgot batman excists😂
The guy who played Toad does all his own stunts and he’s also Darth Maul in Star Wars…
Well I guess I know who it is lol
Ray is a badass!
He was originally a stuntman who became an actor.
I forgot how powerful and poignant the core X-Men story is. It's been awhile since I've seen this one.
We won't see that in the MCU
Moves like Dark Knight trilogy, Sam Raimi Spiderman, and even Xmen, all had something in common in that they were legit movies. They had actual characters instead of caricatures. They had real stories to tell with depth and grounded themes. They were movies about super heroes, not superhero movies, which is what the mindless modern MCU movies are.
@@RayMcElroy50 We saw plenty of it. Not lately though.
@Dayspring "art imitates life". Human storytelling is one giant allegory. If someone isn't relaying a historical event (or news report), you're looking at or reading an allegory one way or another. At the very least, the consumer turns it into one. And as far as j.r.r. Tolkien is concerned, the One Ring was the New Testament concept of sin, I don't care what he try to say afterward.
@Dayspring People misinterpret Tolkien's allegory statement all the time. Tolkien hates obvious allegory like Aslan being Jesus in Narnia. You LITERALLY cannot write a story without allegory. Our stories are based on our experiences. Our characters are based on people we know. Even Tolkien's writings had allegory whether intentional or unintentional
25:00 Magneto puts metal plates (basically insoles) into his shoes...he's able to "fly" or float by then using his powers to manipulate the metal and make it move, while he just balances on it.
better late than never.
it is actually because of his electromagnetic power. he creates electromagnetic fields which makes him levitate.
what u said also correct.
The real magic of these movies and what elevated them beyond simple superhero movies (at least until X3) was the relationship and acting skills of Stewart and McKellen. The fact that they brought him back and will be bringing Logan back as well speaks volumes.
Dont forget what McAvoy and Fassbender brought to the roles
@@LukeLovesRose don’t for get Harry Lloyd from LEGION
All this will be lost in the MCU
Oh sweet! Hugh Jackman’s debut as Wolverine 😃
The boy at the concentration camp is Erik Lehnsherr, aka Magneto. He's the One who had the hat in the beginning and said that he would bring hope. Remember the line "It begins with registration."
The hairstyle is Rogue's signature hairstyle from the comics.
Rogues powers eventually make her one of the strongest mutants in the series with each time she absorbs a power
Unlike the Avengers, the X-Men were always symbolic of marginalized people. The question posed over and over, which is the main bone of contention between Eric and Charles, is: if you are marginalized and oppressed, but have gifts and abilities that could help or hurt those privileged people who oppress you, what do you do?
Post-Endgame MCU has an answer: "Crap all over them and gloat! GIRL POWER!"
No, not "always symbolic". For the first year or so, the X-Men were portrayed as standard superheroes who sometimes worked directly with the FBI. It was the reader response which shifted the portrayal of the mutants.
@@howardbeatman2820 I didn't start reading them until the late 60s; I'm sure you're right.
X-MEN!!! YYYAAASSSS!! ❤Ian McKellen as Magnito!! The characters in this movie are so classic!! They’re an original part of the Marvel franchise! I used to watch the cartoon as a kid!! 💪🏽💪🏽 Rebecca Romijn as Mystique is a BEAST!! Through the first 3 movies they never changed the characters until they started doing the prequels.
This is the film that started the whole comic book movie craze of the last 23 years
You’re in for a wild ride. This movie is one of several that started the comic book movie craze that we have today.
UMM, actually the origins of the MCU came from Wesley snipes Blade success.
@@w41duvernay '... one of several... "
The first two X-men and the first Tobey Spider-Man were the big ones imo
@Riku Ruohomäki Blade itself quite literally saved the MCU from bankruptcy. That's why it's considered the "true beginning" of it all.
Wirhout the success of Blade, Iron Man with Favreau and Downey would have never happened.
@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse maybe we should recommend they watch Blade then... 😈
You’ll guys will learn that there is a difference between MCU movies made by “Marvel Studios” and the X-Men/Fantastic Four movies made by Fox “in Association with Marvel Entertainment” or the Spider-Man movies made by Sony. They didn’t connect until much later when Disney bought Fox and made shared deals with Sony.
Ray Park, the guy who plays Toad, is also Darth Maul.
Magneto floats because he has metal in his boots, he can manipulate magnetism.
RIP Michael Kamen
He made Logan and Rogue's moment feel so special
28:44 If you read the X-men comics that's what Rogue looks like with the white hair like that.
Now you understand the joke Deadpool made on why the school is so empty when he's there: "Crazy that it's only two of you, it's like the studio couldn't afford another X-Men"
Great to see you guys diving into the X-Men Franchise. It's definitely alot deeper than it seems. X-Men Comic came out around during the civil rights era in america (1963)
Stan Lee basically said "Why don't I just say they're mutants? They are born that way." That's part of how the concept came about.
Keep watching! :)
This is an incredible franchise, and an unbelievable journey you were guys are on the end of it is spectacular
You definitely have to continue the X-Men journey!
fun fact in the comics storm is a godess to some african tribes and marries black panther becoming queen of wakanda as well as the weather godess. she got known as the godess because she created floods in countries with no water
I hope this guys keep going with the X-Men series as the next movie, X2, is one of my all time favorite superhero movies and really captures the spirit of what X-Men was better than any other of the movies, imo.
Not sure if you were aware, or if someone else has mentioned this, but the guy who plays Toad (the one with the stretchy tongue) is Ray Park who also played Darth Maul in Star Wars Ep 1: The Phantom Menace.
Deadpool and Wolverine have history canonically. Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine many times, and has stated he was finished playing the role... but then a certain Ryan Reynolds asked him a favor... and lets just say Deadpool 3 is looking fire!
"This Marvel, but *not* MCU?"
It's *supposed* to all be in the same universe; it is in the comics... BUT, Marvel was close to bankruptcy in the 90's and to stay afloat they had to sell off the movie rights to some of their most popular characters. So Spiderman ended up at Sony, Hulk at Universal, X-Men and Daredevil landed at Fox. Fox started the X-Men franchise first out of all of those. (The *First* 90's Marvel movie was "Blade" which kicked off Marvel's road to recovery and eventually forming their own studio)
HOWEVER (Slight spoiler) now that Disney has acquired both Marvel studios and Fox, there are plans to bring them all together. In the latest MCU movies and in the Deadpool movies, the idea of time travel enables branching, paralel universes is being utilized to bring the various seperate universes together, so you *will* see some of these characters eventually in MCU.
You should definitely at least see X-Men 2. It's an incredible sequel. As a franchise it can be hit or miss, but it has some really great high points. Logan is my personal favorite but you have a lot of films in the series between X-Men 1 and Logan
LOVE seeing you guys watch this for the first time! I t was a great movie - especially if you go in without prior info. Can't wait for when you see the next two films!
In regards to how Magneto flies: if I remember correctly, he wears metal-soled boots.
X-Men was great about 23 years back. Totally regenerated superhero movies. But X2 - 2 years later - took it up another level. Looking forward to you guys react to that.
I love this movie. I still far prefer it to any MCU film. I must have seen it about 50 times or so, especially back when it came out on VHS and it got me through some tough times 20 years ago.
Right. I don't know how so many reactors havent seen these films at some point, being ubiquitous and still played on TV today
Retroactively hating the MCU is a bitch move. We will never see anything like the Infinity Saga ever again, and it should be respected for the accomplishment it was.
@@odiumgeneris729 They just said it was their favourite. He didn't hate the MCU.
@@odiumgeneris729 in the original story I mean in the comics, is there X Men and Brotherhood in the infinity saga ❓
@@odiumgeneris729 dude wait for multiverse saga
Shoshanna was like "you sure this is marvel (and not DC)" with how dark the opening was 😂
Thing is, Marvel superheroes have always been shades of grey, with a lot of them being conflicted antiheroes (like Tony Stark/Iron Man, or Magneto, or Deadpool). For the longest time, DC was the universe of larger-than-life superheroes (like Superman or the Flash) in bright primary colour spandex costumes. Only with the modern "Man of Steel/Justice League" Snyderverse movies did DC suddenly turn all their heroes into brooding characters in nearly black costumes.
Uriel Septim VII, Gandalf, and Darth Maul are so good in this movie!
Can’t wait for you guys to get to the rest of the X movies
Professor X explained that Eric Lyncher could "create magnetic fields" AND "control metal". That's how he can float/ fly.
Blue Shapeshifter Lady's Mutant name is Mystique.
this was Jackman's debut movie role.
Crazy part of Wolverine's backstory is that he is over 200 years old! He was born in the 1800s in Canada. Looks good for his age right?
So he had to been almost 300 in Logan then. If you think about however old Charles was
There was a deleted scene where Spiderman was actually in this movie, but they made him a blooper instead
Magneto doesn't just bend metal; there is magnetism in every atom in existence. He can fine-tune his powers to manipulate that magnetism. The air itself has traces of lead and mercury, even planet Earth has magnetic waves coming off of it. Magneto can do whatever he wants.
Going in without most knowledge on these characters, and seeing them flex their abilities. Legit priceless😏
I think my favorite part of seeing reactors watching is where Wolverine stabs "Storm" and it turns out to be Mystique. The shock gets me every time.
at first casting Hugh as wolverine was controversial and people were angry, because he doesnt look like comic book wolverine, but now, Hugh IS the wolverine.
"Old hairstyles." I remember seeing this film in the cinema. My back hurts. Where am I again?
Charles wouldn't have sacrificed that one man just to kill magneto. Because as soon as magneto died that bullet would have went right through the man's head. Plus Charles can't control magneto directly because of that helmet he's wearing. Also magneto doesn't just control metal, his power is magnetism which can f*** with a lot of stuff including making himself levitate. But of course in these movies they don't really show the full extent of his powers, they mostly just do him metal bending
Love yhat you acknowledged Jean Grey as being awesome right away; I remember being a kid and people saying she wasn't that cool. Even the adults would talk about Wolverine and Storm mostly.
Love your reaction to X-Men and can't wait to see your reactions to the other X-Men movie series
Just in case you didn't know, the guy who plays Toad is the same guy who played Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace
X-Men; first class, is where the two of you go to see who it all began. But, before you guys do that, you have to watch X2. X2 is my personal favorite in these older movies, "First Class" is my favorite X-Men movie, followed by, X-Men, Days Of Future Past. I have to say, X2 is up there.
Fun fact: Edward Norton was considered to play Wolverine. Norton ended up being cast as Bruce Banner from The Incredible Hulk(2008).
I am kind of surprised you didn't recognize Sir Ian McKellen as Eric Lensher/Magneto...he was also Gandalf in 'Lord of the Rings'.
Of the bad guys, the Brotherhood of Mutants, my favorite is Mystique (aka Blue Girl). In the initial films, she is played by Rebecca Romijn, a former supermodel turned actress. She is now on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' as Number One aka Commander Una Chin-Riley of the U.S.S. Enterprise. With 'X-Men: First Class', which takes place before these films...Mystique aka Raven Darkholme is played by Jennifer Lawrence...but Romijn made appearances as an older Raven.
Before playing Wolverine, Hugh Jackman was in London in a major production of Rodger and Hammerstein's 'Oklahoma!', which can be found on video. He played the lead, Curly, and sang "Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin'" among other songs. He has been Wolverine in 9 films total (one as a cameo, and one as archival footage included). He had, initially, hung up the claws with 'Logan' in 2017...but recently announced he will play Wolverine again in 'Deadpool 3'. Originally, Ryan Reynolds appeared in 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' as Wade Wilson...and that was his first Deadpool (but they did the character really odd at the end.).
You haven't seen the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy yet...the actor playing Toad is Ray Park, who appears in 'Episode I - The Phantom Menace' as Darth Maul, who is awesome!!! The part of the fight with Storm, where he kicks the metal bar out of the elevator doors and twirls it...that is a very Darth Maul move!
The streak of white in Rogue's hair is from the comics. She has always had it, and in the cartoon from the 90s, she had a huge amount of red hair and a streak of white. The actress playing Rogue is Anna Paquin, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for 'The Piano' when she was 11 years old (the second youngest Oscar winner in history and it was her film debut). She is also really well known for her role as Sookie Stackhouse in the HBO series 'True Blood'.
Onscreen, Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor Charles Xavier) and Sir Ian McKellan (Eric Lensher/Magneto) are enemies...OFFSCREEN, the two men have become the most amazing BFFs. They are both Shakespearean actors and legends in that field but they never worked together until this film. Their friendship is so close that when Stewart married his current wife, McKellen officiated.
Reactors never notice anything
Great reaction team, can't wait for you to watching the full series of all these films to really understand the characters and see what happens 😀
I'm a few weeks late but I really really hope you guys watch the sequels!!!! It would be INCREDIBLE if you guys eventually get to x-men:days of future past. its a love letter to all the previous films!
Yesss, you guys are getting into the XMen!!
The actor who plays Toad is Ray Park....he was Darth Maul in StarWars ep1 the phantom menace....just look at how he spins that pole😉
This is the beginning, and it was a great beginning.
There are several substories and layers.
For the time it was good. Wolverine was never much of a team player. There were parts you might not get without some of the background, but it does stand up by itself. For example, Magneto controls magnetic fields... so put a steel plate in your shoe he can lift you or fly.
We love the X-men series. Also, you'll get a backstory to the wheelchair in a later X-men reboot movie.
Charles Xavier is based off Martin Luther kingJr ,and Erik Magnus Lensher Maximoff is based on Malcom X .Stan Lee is a master artist may the gods give him rest now Rest in power Stan The Man Lee
Xmen 2 is top class. Can’t wait to see your reactions to that❤️
" Camouflage Girl"😂😊 Mystique is her name she's gray with red hair in the cartoons ( I grew up in the 90s) yeah she's cool.
Great
The story of how Charles Xavier was paralyzed gets shown in X-Men: First Class..
Also, the helmet that Magneto wears, blocks telepathic powers.. that's why he wears it..
Welcome to X-Men. X marks the spot.
Lol hahahahahahaha!!!!!!
good one
It's confusing but as of recently these movies kinda *are connected* now lol. Disney bought Fox, who previously owned Xmen. And some of these characters returned/will return in the MCU
Y’all will like this one!
U both r so cute together? Really enjoy your reactions... it's like watching the best part if the movie with friends
Some trivia. Xavier is loosely based on MLK Jr and Magneto (Erik) Malcom X. They both want what’s best for them but take completely opposite directions doing it.
This movie is pretty much what spawned off a LOT of superhero movies which followed and ultimately led to creation of MCU. This was definitely a seminal movie in the pantheon of the superhero genre in movies.
Rogue has that hairstyle because when she absorbed Magneto's powers it was THAT intense it caused her to have a stroke and that's what gave her the blonde hair in front. (It happens in real life, look it up). In the comics she always had that hair style, so this was a neat way of the movies giving her a reason why she has her hair like that.
In my own mind, at least, it still rates as a really great superhero movie.
Definitely see X-Men 2 next.... X-Men 3 didn't do so well at the box office and wasn't very well recieved, but if you're loving the franchise, you should still see it.
Magneto doesn't actually fly, he just manipulates the metal components of his uniform
It’s not connected yet with Avengers but they plan to connect it all in the future. Keep watching each one gets better.
Love and peace you two.
You should continue this series! Next X-men movie please
Before the mcu this movie made people realize that despite the outlandish powers, adult stories could be told, via these characters. Something us comic book nerds already knew...
The X-Men comic line was launched in the late 60’s. Even though it was a fictional story about fictional characters the underlying story arc was about racism and racial issues. This was a opportunity to address social issues and social commentary with out the problems that could have happened to Marvel for doing so.
The white stripe in the hair - first time I seen it was Yvonne De Carlo, the wife of Hermann Munster in The Munsters from the 50's.
And "make it so number 1" yes professor X
X-Men. Absolutely love this franchise. Stan Lee created such an amazing universe. I Watched the cartoons in the 80s and 90s, read the comics played the games. The characters and multi branching story arcs are superb. I can't say enough good things.
Also, I know I'm probably in the minority. I was more on magneto side than professor x. However, I still like both of them. Good choice of actors for both their roles as well!!
X-Men, X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand are undeniably fantastic.
X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future-Past, and Logan are great prequels and sequels (one is two-in-one! Lol) The first three will always be the true core of the franchise.
If you like Patrick Stewart who played Xavier, you might like him in a BBC mini-series: I, Claudius. He played a supporting role when he was younger. It's about a sickly boy who stutters and who limps in the time of the Roman Empire. He eventually became Emperor due to a unique set of circumstances.
Described by someone as "RSC acting on sets made by Blue Peter."
Professor X taught Magneto how to hone his skills.
Magneto is Gandalf!!! ❤
Patrick Stewart (Prof. X) and Ian McKellen (Magneto) have actually been friends since they were their teens.
Rogue's power is a curse, from her perspective. While she can (temporarily) copy superpowers, even multiple ones at the same time, her touch is especially dangerous to non-mutants and she can never physically _touch_ people, making her very lonely. Worse, Rogue not only absorbs power(s), she also absorbs _memories_ from her victims... and she can't control that part, she gets other people's memories (potentially traumatic or psychopathic) in her head whether she wants them or not.
Storm controls weather .. all of it. She is one of the most powerful mutants in the X-Men universe... in the comics, she was revered as a goddess in African before Professor X found her
so cool to watch you guys enjoying a movie we love it
the next one, X2, is one of the best superhero films ever made... the rest of the franchise has some hits and misses but also one or two masterpieces so definitely continue even through the not so great ones. you'll love 99% of them lol
100% agree. The Fox mutant franchise has some great hits and absolute cringe inducing misses. But I think because this couple has *no* comic book background, they have little to no expectations to be disappointed? The stories will have to stand on their own, so it will be interesting to see!
Don’t expect perfect continuity between these movies, timeline’s all over the place in the X-Men franchise. Definitely looking forward to the Logan and Xmen First Class reactions most, by far the best movies from the franchise.
Cerebro didnt detect Mystique just because Xavier wasn't looking for her. If he had looked for her, he would have found her.
Magneto can fly cause he doesn't just control metal, but magnetism. So he can use the Earth's magnetic field to float.
Also, Wolverine has higly improved senses, specially hearing and smelling, that's how he knew that wasnt the real Storm.
he can also just have metal in his shoes xD
@@nicolasflesler4467 Well, thats according to lore, but yea, metal in shoes would also kinda work xd
YES!!!
Before Hugh Jackman was cast as Wolverine, Dougray Scott was cast in the role but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2. Russell Crowe was considered for the role,but was too busy working on GLADIATOR. Rock star Glenn Danzig,
Jean Claude van Damme, Kiefer Sutherland, Jackie Earle Haley, Viggo Mortenson, Keanu Reeves, Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Edward Norton, Bob Hoskins, and Thomas Jane were considered.
Before Anna Paquin played Rogue, Drew Barrymore, Katie Holmes, Kirsten Dunst, Rachel Leigh Cook, Katherine Isabelle, Christina Ricci, Natalie Portman, Evan Rachel Wood, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar were considered for the role.
Before Patrick Stewart played Charles Xavier,, David Bowie, Ben Kingsley and Michael Jackson were considered.
Before Famke Jannsen was cast as Jean Grey, Renee O'Connor, Maria Bello, Selma Blair, Helen Hunt, Lucy Lawless Charlize Theron and Julianne Moore were considered for the role.
Before James Marsden was cast as Cyclops, DB Sweeney, Eric Mabius, Owen Wilson, Edward Burns, Jude Law, Chris Klein, Jim Caviezal, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Tom Cruise, Ethan Hawke, Luke Wilson, and Michael Biehn were considered.
Before Ian McKellen was cast as Magneto, Terence Stamp, David Hemblin (Voiced Magneto in the animated series) and Christopher Lee were considered.
Before Halle Berry was cast as Storm, Angela Bassett, Mariah Carey, Jada Pinkett Smith, Rachel Lutrell, and Janet Jackson were considered.
Before Bryan Singer was picked to direct the project, Paul Verhoeven, John McTiernan, Joel Schumacher, Paul Anderson, Irvin Kershner, Robert Rodriguez, Kathryn Bigelow, James Cameron, Richard Donner, Tim Burton, Danny Boyle, and Stephen Hopkins were considered
Further proof they had no clue who Wolverine was.
There’s no way Michael Jackson was ever considered for Xavier.
@@mikhar Yes he was! Lol! He even said in recent interviews that he was considered, but then opted for the role of Nightcrawler.
@@shainewhite2781 Hmm, summary search reveals that MJ auditioned for Xavier because he wanted to, no one pretends he had any chance of getting it. When did he play Nightcrawler? Also, ‘’recently’’ is kinda weird considering he died in 2009.
I do not know if you know it but in the role of the toad it is Ray Park that we will see later in the skin of Darkmaul
In the beginning where you see that character fighting with wolverine. His name is sabertooth. Hammond wolverine used to be friends that were as close as brothers. The one that said humans evolve into us that is magneto. He's the one that bent the fence in the beginning.
I love the X Men movies and I hope you do the rest. X2 is really good and X3 is good, not great but worth watching. Also X-Men First Class, Days of Future Past (witch is great) then Apocolypse which is good, not great then Dark Phoenix which you might as well watch. the 3 Wolverine/Logan solo movies are definitely worth watching too. My favorite X-Men character and comic character in general is Logan/Wolverine because of the healing. The relationship between Xavier and Magneto and the chemistry in the actors is fantastic and gets better and the relationship between Wolverine and Xavier becomes very strong too.
You love this one trust me you gonna love the 2nd .....X-Men 2 United
Technically/in real life there’s metal in everyone’s body. Iron. Magneto controls even the smallest bit of metal. Makes sense.
Love some awesome Marvel movies like this that came before the MCU like X-Men, Spider-Man, and some others. Much more fresh stuff, hard to predict, cool to watch
In the comics, magneto can fly and move people through the iron in their blood. Here he has metal in his shoes.
The way magneto flies is he pushes himself against the planet
