X2! The one that everybody likes, well mostly. It really…united the people. I'm doing these in honor of The New Mutants coming out in case that wasn't clear, so this is hoping that doesn't get canceled again! Here's everything right with X2: X-Men United!

CinemaWins i wish I could since I’m one of the first but I have 0 skills and refuse to become better
I love ur vid’s and I have been watching for a long time I just want to say thank you
You should really do Creed and Creed 2
Do toy story
@CinemaWons: Dude: that's editing, they're NOT standing still. ('But, you knew that'😉).
I'm gonna miss Huge Jacked Man as wolverine
SiR_OSO we all will
Danny devito for mcu wolverine
@@DavidRay39 Yeah he's a Huge Jacked Man
Me too 😭
Yeah to pull off that role you’d have to be an awesome guy, an incredible dude, a super man...
I know it is an odd cliche, but I love it when two opposing sides work together (often through a truce) to defeat a common enemy.
James Moyner And they do it SO WELL here!
Same
I’d say more trope than cliche.
@@SceneWins semantics
Cool detail: Kitty doesn't land on her back when she phases through her bed because when she gets through the floor she grabs the ceiling lamp which allows her to land on her feet. You can see the lamp move as she grabs it.
That's awesome!
And bizzarly appropriate, since cats always seem to land on their feet.
Thanks for that point out, I missed what these movies were in the 2000’s
"when and actor has to spend 95% of her scenes in Mostly blue paint you start to Notice Rebecca Romjin's workout routine" yeah because me being a Hormonal Teenager when this movie came out was noticing Her workout routine.
Those tatas
How can you not notice her two big workout routines?
If only Jennifer Lawrence did the same
Uhm, nope. I don't remember the source but I'm pretty sure Lawrence wasn't almost naked at any time. She wore a full body suit most of the time as "naked" Mystique.
I was only six years old when this movie came out and I remembered asking my mom is she naked. My mom don’t know anything about film making because my mom said she was not naked and was cover up. Growing up I learned everything their is to know about film making and how these movies were made
Fair play in naming every mutant on that file. Win for extra credit!!👍👍
Saw this in the theatre, and when Colossus changed, the audience CHEERED.
My theatre as well.
Too bad it was only one scene
I did the same as kid when I first saw it.
@@OutCast907 to be fair, the actor did an excellent job
Rebecca Romijn will always be my Mystique she killed that role.
I can't be the only one that didn't like Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal.
Rebecca Romijn was undoubtedly a better Mystique. She embraced the character more fully.
@@mdmyer I liked her plenty in First Class & Days of Future Past, but I feel like they never really sold her transformation from that era to Rebecca Romijin's portrayal (a criticism which can actually be almost universally applied across the franchise).
No the mutant cure killed her or nearly
That scene where she flipped those guys off while sliding away lives in my head rent-free.
9:38 Magneto also handed the lighter back, immediately, as an apology the second he realized it was "part" of Pyro's mutation (when Pyro admitted he couldn't create the fire). It would go against Magneto's morals to interfere with another mutant's powers
Mmm 💯 he’s da goat 🐐 💀
Magneto and Mystique are like the mean quarterback and his cheerleader girlfriend who pick on the girl from the marching band (rogue)
Or the drama geek
Quarterback? Magneto is a gay drama veteran
*You wanna shoot me? SHOOT ME!*
Absolutely loved that whole scene.
4 years later,
it took me too long to realize that th next line of
"Don't shoot him"
From Stryker was Stryker wanting to talk to a non feral wolverine
I disagree with James Marsden not doing comedy. He was in Enchanted and was hilarious
But again, we were rooting against him XD
And in sonic!
also 30 Rock!
Let's not forget Criss Chross.
Cassie Mitchell I'VE BEEN DREAMIN- *gets hit by bus*
Shot in the dark, but can you do "Serenity" for all the browncoats who love your work?
And if you've not seen "Serenity", well, you'll know what a Browncoat is when you become one on the other side 😉
He's talked about knowing Movies With Mikey, so hopefully he does know.
Browncoat here who happily supports your request!
Oh, and make sure it's not the other Serenity, that's one's completely different.
TH-cam: there are 8 comments!
Me: can I see them?
TH-cam: haha *nope*
Lol this comment made me laugh out loud
Hello, and sorry for asking again.
But could you do
“The Emperor’s New Groove”
Its one of my all time favorites,
So if you could in the future. Its also understandable and totally fine if you don’t.
The whole movie "The Emperor's New Groove" can be summarized by the name of this channel, because literally EVERYTHING is great about it ♥
Tired Coffee I second this. Boom baby
Tired Coffee, if you keep asking I'll keep upvoting. Such a good movie
I would love to see that especially since Cinemasins did it and I would love to see your take on it.
Such an underrated Disney movie
I love the whole cast tbh and I really frigging wish they all got more chances to play the characters. Even Paquin I think she could have been amazing as a full powered rogue if they gave her a chance and I loved Halle as storm even tho she gets hate for it sometimes. Terrific cast all of them!
I've been saying that James Marsden thing for years. He always loses the girl even though there's really nothing wrong with his character aside from the fact that he's not the main protagonist lol
He does get the girl in 27 Dresses.
Slightly disappointed that there was no win for "You picked the WRONG house, bub."
"Sirs"
Bring out the titles this week after DAME Judi Dench last week, love it. 😂
I'm always surprised it's "Dame" and not "Lady".
I mean why is the French term used here ?
@@Cancoillotteman Just looked it up - seems to depend upon which Order of Knighthood you belong to
I'm surprised that you never mentioned that during his "Nude in the cave" flashback, all the female cast members and James Marsden's mother were all hooting and waving dollar bills.
That must of been hella awkward lol...
I’m pretty sure he also spiked his balls or at least thighs when he rushed to cover up the jewels
@@Breidablik06 apparently he did
@@Breidablik06 what does that mean?
Wow is that true??
It's completely coincidental, but I love the fact that Kelly Hu didn't have her ears pierced. It added to the realism of Lady Deathstrike's healing factor.
That opening Nightcrawler scene isn't just one of the best moments in the X-Men franchise, it's one of the best in superhero film history.
Please! Everything GREAT About The Prince of Egypt!!
He'll have so much to say about the music! It's one of the best scores in cinema.
David Ray Yes on the Iron Giant, Hell Yes on the Princess Bride which by the way is one of my all time favorite movies, and if you do Aladdin I would actually enjoy your take on both the animated and live action versions. Thank You.
You know, I kinda wanted Cartoon Network to air this movie during Passover, the same way ABC airs The Ten Commandments every year.
Requesting "The Princess Bride"
Attempt number 16
I support this comment
i don't think that movie needs a win counter. every seen and line is classic, but i still want to see cinema wins do it anyway because he's good at it.
You should do the road to el dorado. I feel like it’s criminally underrated
The magnificent?
I'll second this request.
I support
Alas, the stars are not in the proper position.
Sea Bro I respectfully disagree. What do you dislike about it?
Mystique didn't just slide outta there - she slid outta there while flipping them off. Extra win! :)
“Is that what they say?” is one of my most quoted movie lines of all time and it’s so obscure but I love it so much. This movie is my favorite of the original trilogy and it’s not even close. So many good scenes
Agreed. Magneto's cadence on that line is just perfect.
I love how you named all of those characters on the computer screen. Did you get them all from memory?
Dude. You should totally win the movie “Wall-E” next. It’s such a winnable movie! Legit everything about it is so well done.
Wall-E is a freakin masterpiece. I miss that era of Pixar.
@Ruggero Fox I would even put Toy Story 3 in the "meh" bucket. It was good, but it didn't feel as special as the previous films.
@Ruggero Fox That is perfectly okay with me ^_^
I totally hated that movie
@@szekesfehervar2230 how
"I just wanted to go fishing."😂😂😂
Austin Pena well, then you should have emptied the dishwasher!!
Also, the agony of Cyclops and Wolverine when they are at the same time united and divided by the same aggregate of emotions.
As much as Jennifer Lawrence did a good job as Mystique I think Rebecca Romijn did a better job as Mystique
"Have you tried not being a mutant?"
Has more meaning with what was revealed about Iceman in comics.
Care to explain?
@@esmegigigenevievesqualor6029 he was revealed as being gay in the comics. An interesting meaning could be interpreted. Have you tried not being gay? Have you tried not (insert other ways of being "different")?
@@SharpDesign ohhhhh ok, thank you I don’t read the comics so I don’t know much about the backstories of characters and just watched the movies three weeks ago so thank you😌
@@esmegigigenevievesqualor6029 you're welcome. And welcome.
@@SharpDesign thank you, are the comics worth the read?
Sequels that surpass their predecessor:
The Godfather Part 2
The Dark Knight
X2: X-Men United
Empire Strikes Back
Terminator 2
Spider-Man 2
Winter Solider
Hellboy 2
Toy Story 2
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Hunter you’re forgetting... THE LAST JEDI OMEGALUL
Shrek 2
Joshua Everett you’re kidding right?
You forgot Aliens, also you might want to specify which Spider-Man 2 (cause really both the Rami and the Tom Holland sequels are excellent, what a world we live in)
Hunter Twilight: Entire Cast Fed Into Meat Grinder
This is the perfect sequel. Few characters additions from the first one. Blurred the lines of who is good, who is bad, everyone has their own motivations. More development for many characters that did not get much attention in the first one. This will always be probably one of my favorite X-men movies probably only second to Logan
*Everything **_GREAT_** about Rise of The Guardians!!!*
Uma Nerd com Auto-estima Muito Elevada Yes Please! I feel like people forget this movie even exists and they shouldn’t cause it’s awesome.
Pitch is still one of the best villain's to ever come out of a cartoon movie. My favorite was the Australian Easter Bunny.
Russian Santa
Oh God YES. It's one of the most beautiful, imaginative and positively uplifting animated films ever made.
"Nightcrawler is a and makes a BAMF" i like that one, i like it a lot
Wait, some people don't like this movie?
Princess Mononoke!
Probably my only real issue with this film is that it continues the trend of giving Cyclops the shaft.
Cinema wins: nothing could touch x2 for a while
Spider Man 2: am I a joke to you
10:09 - I swear to God i never noticed that Mystique actually flipped off the guards she just beat up!
One of the things I love about this movie is how they show Jason's slow, creeping control over Xavier.
The "Stop it Jason!" is honestly heartbreaking for me, because Xavier still thinks Jason is in there and can take back control, when as a viewer, we know he can't.
They could have gone the much easier route of "I upped the dosage of the melty mind-control thing. "
I'll always appreciate Rebecca Romijn sitting for 8 hours to get her makeup put on. Fucking dedication. Jennifer Lawrence got away with 3 hours, but you can see the difference in quality so clearly. And that's not even mentioning the actresses.
my siblings were not really into going to see a comic book film, I was SO HYPED about this movie I talked about it for a whole month before it came out that by the time the film was out we were all hyped. The movie was sold out everywhere opening night, we drove an hour and half to a theatre that was still showing a film at 11 pm, the line was ridiculous, going around the mall, by the time we got inside the mall it had sold out, people were about to riot and the theather ended up cleaning another theatre and adding a new session, we saw the film at 12:30, it was one of the best cinema experience of my entire life! It's still one of my favourite films today.
:Sees new CinemaWins video:
:Hits like:
:Starts watching:
Future episode ideas based on this cast:
Brian Cox - "The Escapist"
James Marsden - "Enchanted"
Halle Berry - "Catwoman"
Famke Janssen - "The Faculty"
Hugh Jackman - "Real Steel"
Alan Cumming - "Spy Kids"
Admittedly, out of all of these, Real Steal is the only one I’ve seen but I agree 100% that he should do a video on it. It’s probably one of my favorite movies and I’d love to hear his take
7:04 he is licking blood😂🤣
💀
Please do *Everything GREAT About X-Men: The Last Stand.* The movie gets a lot of hate, and I would like to see it defended for a change.
The whole "lover's quarrel" thing, so good😂😂
Magneto’s escape from the plastic jail is just one of the most epic scenes I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen plenty.
I hope cyclops is done right one of these days. In the comics he turns whole panels red, plows through mountains in one shot and clears forest with the unleashed power of his optic blast. I've been dying to see that come to life.
Kinda sad the comment section is riddled with recommended movies and not thoughts on the film he reviewed. Maybe talk about your favorite X-men? Something related, it just feels empty in the comments.
Late, but I still remember I was the ONLY one that laughed in the theater at Magneto's "I love what you've done with your hair" line. It was 2003 opening weekend with a group, I was 18, "only" obsessed with X-Men for 4 years at that point, little did I know I was in the fandom for life. Good times. Also remember my cousin being barred from seeing it again because her folks were overprotective and stuff. (Prooobably had something to do with Nightcrawler looking the way he does, IDK. Nighty stan for lyfe!!)
😂
8:56 THIS is the moment that makes you realise how badly Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique was written.
PLEASE DO EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT LÉON: THE PROFESSIONAL(extended or theatrical cut)
@Karsyn zzstu Beauchamp What do you mean, you're not the only one? It's a cult classic, was positively reviewed by critics and on IMDb it's n°31 of the top 250! You know who loves it? "Everyone. EEEVERYYYOOOONE!"
Love that movie
I started watching that movie, and I couldn't finish it because I was horrified at all the potentially traumatic things they made a twelve-year-old girl do.
1:00: I swear . . . I always liked Nightcrawler as a character from the first time I saw him in a comic book in the mid seventies (ironically, not even an X-Men comic, but a guest appearance). But it wasn't until _this scene_ that the character made complete sense to me. There are numerous media for telling superhero stories, and some media are better for some characters than others. Rorschach's story is best told in still panels. Popinjay's is best told in prose. But _Nightcrawler_ . . . . Nightcrawler is a _movie_ character making his movie debut in this film.
That heart wrenching look is probably reference to the romance they had in either comic or cartoon @11:50
It's not really surprising that Brian Cox is so great at playing evil. He was the first on-screen Hannibal Lector and voiced Starkweather in Manhunt; a character who gave audible clues that he was pleasuring himself while watching Cash kill all of those people in real time.
You should review Over the Hedge
Such an underrated film, you bringing back memories bro 😅
I 100% agree great movie always fun to see Bruce Willis channel his inner raccoon.
Hammy: Quicksilvrr,hold my soda.
4:07 still makes my skin crawl seeing a desktop this messy...
I put my icons in a crisscross pattern :D
@@elrilmoonweaver4723 You monster
I still love The Last Stand. Hear me out, I still had dial up internet so the influence to know it sucked wasn't there. It was my fist introduction into the Phoenix (and probably why I love bad ass bad women in movies and book, or ambiguous bad ass women) and it inspired my writing then and now (still). It stayed imprinted on my mind.
Me TOO 😊
Me:remembers my favorite books that have strong women characters that aren't political agendas.
Huge JackedMan is definitely going to be missed! Still rooting for a shorter version this time 🤘🏻
Well apparently Henry Cavill is the current rumor for the new Wolvie.
Jakk Frost could be misdirection. Toss a coin to your Logan, sure, but I want the story lines that come with little Logan.
Definitely one of the best Marvel sequels and the best installment of the orginal trilogy.
Probably a top 7 sequel of all time in my opinion. And one of the best opening scenes of any movie.
CinemaWins: United without sins
4:20 I wonder if such rapid cooling would break the bottle, though.
This is one of my favorite early 2000s comic book movies and definitely one of the best X-Men films. Also really loving the insight/witty remarks that compose a lot of the wins. Your own passion and research into the film definitely shows via your writing. Great job!
I love the channel so much and humbly request the Iron Giant, my childhood fav
Love this channel as well, I want more content with 80s and 90s movies.
Cinema Sins:sins the Iron Giant.
"How dare you?!"
Is it weird that this is legit the movie I’m watching right now.
I legit bought it last night
Iv been binging them all and x2 was on when the video was published. Talk about the worlds biggest coincidence.
That is weird.
Coincidence? I think NOT!
Seriously one of my fav movies when I was a kid my dad and i freaked out over that nightcrawler sequence. SO AWESOME!!
To this day, still the best X-men movie to me and logan is a close second.
@7:15 Holy smokes, until you described it as "comic book-y", I never got that this was literally was Magneto did to Wolverine's Adamantium in the comics.
I really liked this movie! I just recently got into the X-Men fandom~
18:33 - On the topic of coming out:
Could you maybe do _Love, Simon_ sometime?
You could maybe do it in the Pride Month June, then it'd be most relevant.
It's one of my favorite movies and really helped me further coming to terms with being who I am 🏳️🌈
I don't know if you even do these kinds of movies, but one can ask I hope 😇
Rsge call Pete Buttigieg he’ll give you a role model.
Everything Great About Prince of Egypt? Please?
Michael Cubed, Second!
I have to say, at 19:16 I love Magneto's face, I can't explain what emotion it is that he puts off, but I love it.
Back when filmmaking was still a thing. What a time!
It's amazing how this one movie does a better job of establishing Pyro as a sympathetic fallen hero, in a subplot no less, than George Lucas was able to do in three whole movies with Anakin Skywalker.
Can you do everything great about "a league of their own"
Dottie didn't drop the ball on purpose. Kit wouldn't be denied in that moment.
Now there’s a good movie that deserves a little more praise and attention
There is no crying in cinema wins!
Definitely the best X-Men movie.
One thing I miss about these movies is Ian Mckellen and Patrick Stewart working together
This remains as one of my absolute favorite comic book movies. Oh and Anna Paquin is a stone cold fox in this.
You should see her in True Blood 😏😂😍
You should take it back to the nineties with Sister Act and Sister Act, Back In The Habit.
My theory about Jean is that she knew her power, and that accessing it fully would unleash the unstable monstrous Phoenix. Which is why she sacrifices herself, rather than risk unleashing the Phoenix on those she loved.
EGA John Carter please. It's very underrated and didn't deserve to bomb.
Also a fun, maybe intended theme was the constant reference of being a mutant being used as a metaphor for being gay or trans. Xavier pauses before saying Stryker's "son", and Jason "putting images in their heads" when every time Xavier sees them in the illusion, it's very clearly a little girl (at least clear in terms of 2000's). Stryker saying "my son... is dead."
7:54 I'm SCREAMING that's exactly what I was thinking during that scene oml
5:34 James Logan Howlett, Army Soldier in the American Civil War, World War 1, and the Battle of D-Day, Attacking Government Soldiers, even if he doesn't know it. If he did know his past as a Soldier, could he have ordered them to stand down?
I was given a DVD boxset of all pre-Wolverine: Origins Fox-Marvel films and this is the one that I always go back to for a fun watch.
X2 will always have a special place in my heart because of the exchange between Mystique and Nightcrawler. I was 17 when it came out and I'd just come out myself a few months earlier.
"Why not stay in disguise all the time, look like everyone else." "Because we shouldn't have to"
As a bloke who usually passes for straight, Mystique's line made me realise why it was important for me to be out. It's not an exaggeration to say this film informed my LGBT activism. It's also amazing that we have a discussion of the closet/passing in a big summer blockbuster.
Great video as always.
This is definitely my favorite X-Men movie. I felt the story was more real and serious than the first X-Men and definitely more than X3. 😂 Granted I still enjoy The Last Stand. It obviously has its flaws, but it’s a fun movie. The first three definitely have to be my favorite of the X-Men movies.
What about "Everything great about Interstellar", one of the best movies in that subject and I mean there is Hans Zimmer music and who doesn't love Hans Zimmer Music?
I humbly request "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" ......not cause I just finished watching it and would like to hear your thoughts on it or anything.....just wondering!
I feel like this movie has become underrated in recent years. It was a major reason why the genre became what it is today.
The nightcrawler fight was the best part of this whole franchise.
To bad we didn't see more stuff like this.
I'm still here. You know what I want, CW. "Spy".
Movie was well done. As a comic and X-Men fan really enjoyed it, when it first came out but thought a lot of the visual style was too different from the comics and that seems to be a big strike, just like with the first film.
As time went on I understood and appreciated that this film did the best it could with what it had and was allowed to do by the studio. Great superhero movie. This video point that out perfectly
7:32 very good representation of the family having that cat rather than a dog.
This movie is underrated rarely anyone talks about it nowadays
I wouldn't say underrated. It's been almost 20 years. It's more like forgotten. Audiences have moved on with all the MCU and DC films that have come out since. It's just, sadly, old news.
@@lastudentessa still better then most
@@TheMasterQuests Oh yes, it's a classic and a template for many that came after.
I know you may not see this, but I'll say it anyway. I'd love to see you do a CinemaWins on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, my favorite movie.
I'm late too comment, but I'll still suggest my three winnable movie reccomendations:
"Song of the Sea" an Irish film about Celtic folklore
"Kirikou and the Sorceress" a French film about Guinean folklore
"Like crazy" an Italian film about two women who escape from a mental institution in search of happiness
