Previously unknown Hugh Jackman, essentially a theatre musical actor, became an instant movie star here. He's so good as is the entire cast lead by the great Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.
well, he's a politician so his mutation making him a spineless jellyfish is kinda accurate.
The comment of the month
Zing!
He doesn't have a mutation that does anything,
24:03 "Kelly's body is rejecting it. His cells begin to break down almost immediately"
@@lokithecat7225 So actually, Kelly IS mutating. It's just that his mutation is being rejected by his immune system.
Buuuurn!
12:45 Wolverine is a mutant. His abilities are his healing factor, super strength, keen senses of smell and hearing, and he has bone claws. When the Adamantium bond with his bones, he gain durability and obviously has metal claws now. However, since he has been through torture during the Weapons program, he has this thing called berserker rage. This is where he's at his most dangerous state where he ignores his mortality and all pain. 🙏🏽💪
The healing factor also greatly delays his aging.
The berserker rage isn't just about the weapons program. It's from his repressed anger and his healing means that he can push his body past the limit that it destroys itself but his healing counters that allowing him to actually use 100% of his strength.
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.
With the biggest victim being Cyclops whose more important to the X-Men than Logan
And Avengers movies feel like Iron Man & friends but yall clowns shilled tf out of those craps
Hate to say it, but Cyclops actions in the comics made him a hated character, and that made pushing him to the back easy@DarkTalesProduction
That's why I think x-men, or any series focused on a team instead of and individual character, should be a multi-episode series that way they can devote individual episodes to all the characters
@@nalday2534the avengers movies while focusing on Tony gave the other members at least side stories, in the old x men movies everyone besides Logan, Prof X, and Magento were plot devices for cool action scenes.
Don't forget the actor who played Toad in this also played Darth Maul!
Hence, the bar spin like a double-bladed sabre ;)
He was also snake-eyes in GI-Joe. Dude is a beast!!
and the headless horesman in "Sleepy Hollow", alongside Darth Tyrannus and Darth Sidious
Did you know: The actor playing villain in Mission Impossible 2 had an accident on the sets of MI2 and thus lost his part in X-men to Hugh Jackman!!!
really?.wow. that red sabered Jedi is the toad here?. dmn..thnx for the info
"Just listen...just watch Kristen..." 😂😂
I agree she barely pays attention 😅
believe me, i *am*
I know it's a reaction video but man Kristen talks too much 😂
Bro there’s reason she never watched or heard very little about all of these films.
Russell Crowe was initially offered to play Wolverine but he recommended they should look at Hugh Jackman.
I think Russell made the right call
This is one of those superhero films where every character were casted well especially Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman.
Except for Storm in my opinion. They could have cast someone sooo much better. Nothing against Halle Barry. But she is not Storm.
@@jeffreydavid6794To be fair, I think it's was more of due to Bryan Singer's directing, honestly. I read he wouldn't even let the cast read the comics to help them with their characters. They only gave her so much to work with writing wise as well...
@AshLee92490 Well yea I agree that's a problem. But Halle Barry is just more of a soft spoken kind of sweet/cute kind of woman. They needed a woman with a stronger presence and deeper voice and more commanding demeanor. Storm tells the weather what to do. And she is bad-ass when she does it. Soft spoken Halle Barry with her eyes just turning white didn't do it for me.
"casted" is not a word
@@jeffreydavid6794 For me the biggest problem is rather Rogue, but i must say i also don't really know how Rogue was before she got the Miss Marvel Powers.
So Storm at least has her Powers while Rogue is more just an angsty teenager instead the powerful girl i know form the animated show.
Kristen's constant "hatred" of Mystique is so funny looool
What gets me is that Anna Paquin was already an Academy Award winning actress at this point.
This was Back when they mattered too, her agent didn't just buy it and not tell her.
RIP Michael Kamen
He made Logan and Rogue's moment feel so special and timeless
Who is he?
he died?!
He passed away in 2003 😢
It was a nice melody, and the score is serviceable, but his best work remains his scores for Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, and his magnum opus Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
@@leonardobraynen1524
The composer
Going from hating Mystique to rooting for her survival 😂🤣😂...
I mean she does a lot of bad things to children, canonically.
They could never make me hate Mystique. At least not the Rebecca Romijn’s version. That’s mother right there!
@Enthymene Mystique is also Rogue and Nightcrawler's mother, O' Lord the things she did to her own children 😅
@@seangotti3 oh yeah that was the first thing on my mind, although she wasn’t great to the Brotherhood kids in X-Men Evolution, either 😄
4:23 This man is actually the voice of Beast from the X-Men animated series! 🙏🏽💪
wow! just looked this up. i had no idea about that. nice little easter egg there. thanks for posting
Oh yeah! 💪
Did he come back in X-Men 97?
@@Gabriel-all Yes, he did! 💪
"What's your mutation, Senator Kelly?"
"Becoming a waterbed"
Ouch!
😅
Yikes! 😭😂
This was definitely the superhero movie that started an entire generation of the superhero genre. Blade and Spider-Man (2002) also kicked off the superhero genre as well. It’s a great introduction to the X-Men on the big screen, since before this everybody only knew them from the comics and animated series. Although, the Halle Berry Toad line isn’t that great.
Marvel movies was kicking off. Like any Character in marvel was getting a film and that because marvel sold a lot of there characters so they do not go bankrupt. Lucky they almost got them all back and all besides spider-man movie rights
I love that line. Not sorry. ✌️😎
back when superhero movies werent superhero movies, they were just movies.
Honestly I didn’t know Blade was a Super Hero 😅.
Well for Marvel it all started with Blade.
DC already had Superman & Batman movies to the wazoo!
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.
Fun Fact: Blue eyes are a mutation IRL; everyone who has them are related and can be traced back to one person around 6,000 years ago.
Near Siberia ???
Fun fact Patrick Stewart and Famke Janssen worked together prior to X-Men. They met on Star Trek: The Next Generation. She was playing an empathic character who was being married to an alien diplomat. Her character had the ability to become the perfect mate to anyone with whom she romantically bonded.
Stewart was playing Captain Picard who was transporting her to her wedding. The ending of the episode is quite a shock and raises many questions.
....which episode is this?
@@Grace_Reads It's called "The Perfect Mate". Famke was also in "I Spy" with Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy.
@@rimasmuliolis1136, thanks!
Fun fact: contrary to popular belief, Cyclops doesn't have "laser eyes" or heat vision. Instead, his optic blast is pure kinetic energy. As someone once said, "his eyes are portals to the punch dimension"! 😁
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.
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!?!?”
Toad was played by Ray Park, who was the physical performer and stunt man for Darth Maul in The Phantom Menance.
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!
This movie...the casting was mostly perfect right from the get go ! Nobody else but Hugh Jackman feels so much like Wolverine...it's like Robert Downey Jr. with Tony Stark or Tom Hiddleston with Loki...you can't just replace them, they perfectly absorbed their characters !!
I really really am so happy kristen is watching it with achara. Atleast one person who can explain some stuff when the other one just freaks out impatiently
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! 👏
@@marcellousnguyen187 yeah
I kinda agree, although " D list " to describe Iron Man and Captain America is comical-pun intended. Yes, the X-Men and most certainly Spider-Man were more " known" to the laman, I M and C P were just as iconic to us growing up in the 90's; as a kid I had Avengers right there with both ( X-Men and X-Force was MY thing, admittedly) 😎.
@@MrBreezeLI516 You have a good point 😂💪
💪
Two best friends. Known for two iconic characters. Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard and Ian McKellen as Gandalf. Playing opposite one another in their best roles.
I'm loving it how Kristen is learning everything comic book wise with these movies. I can't wait until she goes back to the marvel universe movies
I love the way Kristen reacts to everything she watches. Her reaction is so pure and she gets soo excited to watch new stuff
Lovely
lmao the crazy sounds that Kristen makes are great. And Achara's innocent dances when something happens, like reveals etc would be me showing the X-Men to someone for the first time haha
17:07 RIP Stan Lee! 🙏🏽💪
Patrick Stewart furrows his brows at Kristen...
😂
Its so fun to see Achara nerding out! And so fun to see Kristin get introduced to so many iconic characters. X-men cartoons were my favorite as a kid so I just assume everyone these characters like they are Batman or Superman. So it’s extra fun watching someone who is blind reacting
The "wheels" moment always makes me laugh. Fuc++++ Wolverine haha.
The actor playing Toad is Ray Park. He played Darth Maul and does all the action scenes in Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow as the Headless Horseman.
Jean: "She's fine. She took on a few of your more charming personality traits for a while."
Logan: "Really?"
Jean: "Yeah....she kept hitting on me." 😉😉
😂
Welcome back, Kristen! And I love the hair 💯🔥🔥
Woah at 17:12. I know who that is. In the Quiet on Set documentary we learned about him. Brian Peck is in the Stan Lee cameo! Dude!
Hugh Jackman is younger than me in this movie. That's crazy.
Hard to believe he was in his late 20s.
He does look older.
Which kinda plays well into his 'origin' mini-series at the time.
To this day i always wondered if that whole move with the staff by Toad was a nod to the fact it's Ray Park who plays him and Darth Maul or it's just a coincidence...
Has to be intentional
Childhood movie right here next to Spider-Man.
When iconic scenes and dialogues are missed because your friend just can’t stop talking over.
When rogue asks Logan if they hurt when his claws come out, his answer "every time", I always felt it was a yes, physically and emotionally because of the hatred towards mutants.
At this point, Kristen getting jump scared is the greatest thing on the internet🤣🤣🤣🤣
34:02 - A wolverine is a vicious animal native to parts of Canada, and northern parts of the U.S. and Alaska; also Nordic countries of Europe, and throughout western Russia and Siberia. Also called a "mountain cat", they reportedly have in insatiable appetite. It's kind of ironic though, because their nature is more scavenger than hunter. Though they way they depict the Marvel character Wolverine, they make it seem more like a predatory animal.
4:22 The man is the voice actor of Beast in the animated 90s series ;)
5:47
Not only do the claws pierce his skin, but they split the bones in his hands on their way out
This is where the fun begins!!!! Despite this film not being 100% comic, it's still an awesome movie! Also fun fact: This movie is one of the first Marvel films, Kevin Fiege was the producer! Look at him now! 🙏🏽💪
Mystique is one of my favourite mutants. You should watch the other X-men movies, she's a badass. 😉
Only badass when she IS played by Rebecca Romjin...
Trash when its Jennifer Lawrence
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!!
That line about Toad getting struck by lighting was kinda like Anakin disliking sand. It's so stupid, and that's why it's iconic.
I’ve always loved X-Men. Being different from the norm, it was really cool growing up and watching the animated series and this movie♥️. Being different was a superpower and you can either become what they fear or be a hero for other outcasts and society. Ugh love the franchise.
I mostly like Kristen, but for her to ask if Scott and Jean are a thing immediately after they said it in the conversion is a bit frustrating. Plus, I dont think she heard a second of the conversation between the Professor and Magneto at the beginning either.
Maybe one day, you'll learn to not get wrapped up in a full-blown, lengthy discussion WHILE THE MOVIE IS RUNNING.
Maybe one day, we'll be able to watch an entire video without giving up in disgust.
@codyt821 Simone and George over at CineBinge do the same thing (especially George). They question and analyze and ponder and discuss when they should leave it for the wrap-up at the end.
30:32 Ironically Mystique is NOT wearing an outfit...you nailed it earlier when you said her hands look like they are painted blue with small prosthetics...well that is EXACTLY what Rebecca Romijn is wearing FULL BODY. Blue body paint and strategically placed prosthetics. She;s virtually nude.
I seem to recall seeing her talking about it and saying that she couldn't touch anything becuz the blue paint would rub off, and the glue was very temperature sensitive to the point that her body heat would liquefy it, so she had to be in a highly air-conditioned room and couldn't wear anything due to the blue, so she was always freezing when not doing an actual shot. 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.
Finally! That's what happens, Kristen, when you talk while trying to watch a movie! You miss things. A simple solution - just press Pause.
Also, well done, editor!
before metal claws he had natural bone claws
12:55 Actually he has two mutations. The bone claws and the healing. The metal was just put over the claws but those are actually his. There are other mutants that have dual mutations. Like Emma Frost. She can read minds like Charles but she also has the ability to turn into diamond. Not just her skin literally all of her. There are others but honestly can't think of any right off the top of my head.
21:00 The train station is Liuana Railway Station in Hamilton, ON...my hometown. I am one of the extras outside that watch the roof get blown off. A few years later, I met Ray Park (Toad) at ComicCon and we had a nice long chat about this scene. When I was about to pay him for the pictures we took together and his autograph for his OTHER role on a Darth Maul Action Figure, he told me, "Ahh don't worry about it, it's on me. We co-stars have to stick together, right?"
Legend!
Welcome to the X-men Family
This movie was the start of something great but also bittersweet. I'm glad it made X-Men mainstream but also absolutely destroyed the publics perception of many characters on film that are finally getting the respect they deserve in X-Men 97.
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.
45:14 Yes. Also, I'm not sure if you know this Achara, but Stan Lee's first Marvel comic was the Fantastic Four. They were the first superheroes that were relatable. Which later gave him the idea to create Spider-Man and the X-Men. Wolverine was also once a villain. He was the Hulk's nemesis. But he eventually became a hero and join the X-Men and Avengers later on. Plus, Wolverine and Captain America both fought in World War II. Not to mention the Weapon X program Wolverine was forced to be part of is the super soldier program Captain America was in. Spider-Man and the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four are best friends in the comics. The biggest one of all, some people don't know this, but Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are actually Magento's children. That's why it was screwed up that Marvel didn't have the rights to all their characters because the MCU had to improvise majority of the stories to make sure they didn't step kn anyone studios toes. Therefore, retconning Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's connection to Magento and so much more. Regardless, besides Spider-Man I'm so satisfied that Marvel has the rights to all their characters again!! 👏
The scarlet witch and magneto thing is pretty known, I think, but even people who know it, don't know Magneto isn't their biological father
@@markosmatrozos4175
Some people didn't know, unfortunately, because some fans who only know about the MCU didn't even know that X-Men, Blade, and the Fantastic Four were Marvel. But yeah, Magento is Scarlet Witch's biological father. Marvel retcon it because they didn't have the right's to use the mutant characters. So they changed their comicbook origin, so the twins can be in the MCU. Fortunately, their going to change it back later on! 👏
@@marcellousnguyen187 💪
0:08 Yikes! Love you two's energy! 😂💪
Fun Fact: Rogue gets powers from Ms.Marvel 💡👍
Carol Danvers' Ms. Marvel for those who are confused.
No cap, I was really waiting for you to hear Storms line.
That line is super infamous, I wanted to see your reaction. 😅
29:06 Understandable! 😭😂
If it wasn’t for Wesley Snipe playing Blade this Marvel Comic Film and the others wouldn’t have been made possible
I think it was the combo of Blade and the success of The Matrix.
Marvel Studios was bankrupt until Wesley Snipe's Blade premiere and theater run that made money making Marvel Studios super heroes profitable bringing them out of bankruptcy. It's a documented fact that can be googled and found here on YT in various articles. "Blade" made money = Marvel Studios = MCU.
agreed
Actually you really need to go back to the first Batman movie in the 80’s with the greatest actor imo to play the joker
Amen!!!! 🙏🏽💪
5:10 My second favorite superhero of all time! My man Wolverine!!!!! 🙏🏽💪
Who's your first: Batman or Spider-Man?
@@joshuacampbell7493 Batman! 🙏🏽💪
I'm going to make a Soundboard filling it with the noises Kristen makes. Best seller!
It kind of makes sense that Wolverine acts that way since his memories only go back about fifteen years. his personality is basically 15 y/o
This was the stuff of my teenage years! I LOVED Xmen when it came out. It was such an amazing movie when it came out, perfect casting (Wolverine, Magneto, Professor X etc) too. When they reboot this franchise I wonder if it will hold up like this coz we have 3 theatre trained (2 Shakespearen at that) actors in the OG.
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.
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.
38:30 considering the director it's wild that Wolverine responds like a normal-ass adult to being told an underage girl has a crush on him.
One of my favorites from the comic to the screen. Such a great series. Glad you are reacting to it.
I think we are getting to the point where we’ll have to start voting who’s the best co-host for Kristen haha Achara is in the top 2 behind Steph…in 3rd place even tho they do really have like. Brother & sister vibe is Jaby! Just an idea haha but really enjoy how all 3 connect with Kristen so well
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.
Kristen's hair looks so beautiful 😍
I hope you guys keep going! The X-men franchise has great gems in there, X2 is an amazing movie!
I love the energy and excitement Kristen has and Achara u don’t forget a thing u remember each and everything tiny detail just with a glance u grasp it I love watching u both react ❤ I see the movie not in PIP but through ur eyes. A bing Fan of Cinedesi and Cinipals from 🇮🇳 India
*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😆)
It was mystique running the brotherhood when rogue was there. She also managed to handle the avengers pretty well prior to get ms marvels powers
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😊
25:54 When I saw this scene as a kid, I was terrified. 😭😂
Same! 😂
The easiest way to say what a wolverine is, is to say they are similar to a honey badger.
i’m weak at the editing of this one at her missing the iconically bad Storm line 🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching this film new at the theater. It has aged well and these X films are nice counterpoints to the MCU films.
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.
Sorry to see that you omitted the scene outside the train station, with the confrontation between Magneto and Xavier while Magneto holds the entire police force hostage with their own guns-perhaps my favorite of the film, and speaks a lot to both characters.
So now I have to know what Kristen was thinking about with Wolverines claws!
Fun fact: Hugh Jackman had no idea what Wolverines were when playing in this movie... he came on set acting like a wolfman.
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 ❤
Logan and Jean are one of the best thing in Xmen universe.😅🤣
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
Just like Jean Grey stated most people's mutations happen right around puberty, 11-12 years of age... Their powers sometimes matches their personalities, but not all the time.... Most Mutants are Psychic and can control things with their minds, while others are Kinetic, but the worst ones are the ones who cannot control their powers, and who have it PHYSICALLY DISPLAYED ON THEM like Cyclops and Mystique... And all mutations are progressive the more they rely and use their powers the STRONGER that power gets...
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 😂
