:-O I did NOT know that! (I'm sure they've *seen* people play chess even if they did not savvy the rules, so they acted like they knew what they were doing.) 9:22 Oh! I hadn't gotten this far when commenting. (I know: an internet sin.) I suppose I should've reckoned they'd have an expert laying out to do and NOT do, to avoid a faux pas!
I can't believe they bought in a chess expert for just a few moves and under a half minute of screen time. Surely someone on set could have told them what to move so as not embarrass both the actors or the film? AKA...save some money!
Another piece of trivia was that Brian Singer did not let the actors read any X-men comics before making the 1st movie, but after the success Hugh Jackmen went out and read the Wolvarine mini-series and learned alot about how Logan was which made his performance in X2 even better.
This is my 2nd favorite X-Men movie. Nightcrawler attacking the White House, Wolverine going Berserker Rage on the solider in the mansion, and the rescue climax were great.
Had a dude in the row in front of me, must have been a super wolverine fan - when he clawed the first soldier that scratched his face, he yelled at the TOP of his lungs, "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
The message of persecution, is excited flawlessly in this production. Whilst the Villains state this during a scene about not having to hide. The point is understood. Then Stryker earlier stated about not seeing a six year old child body on the news. Then truth of the movie is evident. A realisim you want exceptance but at your standards. Back the constitution. All men are created Equal. Meaning Dad married Mom which made US.... Duh 🙄
X2 was one of the best movies of it's kind during the 2000s back when I still cared about superhero movies. I think part of the reason why it was called X2 - X-Men United in the US is because about a decade prior there was another movie released here called F/X2 along with later in the 90s a TV Series based on the 2 F/X movies just called F/X and they didn't want any confusion.
I'm terrified that one of these days we're going to learn the trick to Hugh building all those muscles is him eating live kittens at like 3am or something. I don't think I've heard anything negative about him. Not even when he and Debora split up. That was like a quick Hollywood radar blip that was like "Oh hey, this happened." and it was gone.
That movie was released in cinemas here in the Philippines in 2003 as X2: X-Men United. I saw it in the cinema on opening day and all the seats were filled up! The one-on-one fight between Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike was the standout scene and there were lots of cheering and gasps as the fight went on.
I always credit this film as the film that solidified the idea that you can have good comic book superhero movies other than Batman/Superman. The first movie did fine and was pretty good, but like Minty said is kind of like the Empire strikes back not only in plot but also in that it elevated the series to something much more than the first one.
I really do like X2: X-MEN UNITED this is a great movie. What I like the most is how go into Wolverine’s past and try to give some closure into what happened to him all those years ago.
I would’ve been 5 years old back in 03 and I still remember seeing it at the cinema and being blown away by the character of Nightcrawler. I remember going to KFC after the movie and managing to get all the toys for the movie and playing with them nonstop. Such a special memory for me.
From what I heard, Scott's death in the third film had nothing to do with James Marsden doing Superman Returns. The studio wanted to make Phoenix look like an unstoppable force. She killed the man that she loved. Let us not forget Hugh Jackman was in multiple movies that year. Plus, he was doing theater. They could've made it work.
Agreed! I'm so tired of seeing Cyclops used as a mutant punching bag ! Thankfully, Cyclops was finally portrayed a more causative fighter in the movie , "'X MEN DARK PHOENIX"'. Not a great X-Men flick, but it was ok. Cyclops has a stronger appearance in the "'CYCL0PS eXtended Cut"' of the 1st X-Men movie.
That film was so incredibly stupid. "Hurr de durr, Jean Grey is out of control. If only we had two(2) mutants whose powers _actively neutralize other mutant's powers_ to hand. No, no. Let's just get Wolverine to shank her instead."
@@kennyboggs3676 as a fan of the character, I was upset. They barely did anything with him. I love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, but Cyclops is supposed to be the leader. He led the team in the first one but then in the second one he got brainwashed and in the third one he was killed off.
X2 has always been my favourite of the Fox-Men movies. It's genuinely a good movie overall, and the best of the bunch, imo. I would also love a 10 Things You Didn't Know about Van Helsing, yes! I love that movie. It's super underrated
Such a great movie. I'd probably rank it number 3 overall in the core X-Men movies after Logan and Days of Futures Past, and just ahead of First Class. Leaving the Deadpool movies as their own thing. Great job Minty!
i will always remember when watching this near the end i needed to pee so bad and left quickly and then coming back and it took me out of the finale hahah so annoying but this is the best x-men film and a favourite cinema experience for me. 2003 was a great cinema year
Seems a bit hard to believe they hired someone to teach them, surely someone on set did know how and could just tell them where to move the pieces. Save some $
Bryan Singer really is a multitasker juggling actors, set pieces, special effects department oh and his underground children sex trafficking ring. Man, what a dynamo!
i first saw this in a movie theater, there was a couple moments when you see a bit of fire (literally) in Jean's eyes very much hinting at The Phoenix. when the movie ended and we were walking out, i heard a couple guys next to me saying "i can't believe they killed off the hot red head" to which i said "she is definitely not dead, she is one of the most important characters in the xmen, and also known as the phoenix.. she will be back" to which they said "oh... cool" granted i also certainly would not have predicted cyclops's death either. but then again, most deaths in Marvel (or DC) don't usually last long.
The problem with Cyclops is that while Chris Claremont wrote the Scott/Jean/Logan love triangle as mainly being all Logan pining after Jean (and even had Logan fall in love with Mariko), a buncha Wolverine fanboys/girls wanted him with Jean. So, it keeps getting brought up over and over again. Jean and Scott were deeply in love, but many a fanboy writer and obviously some movie directors went with Wolverine getting the girl due to Logan's bigger popularity. So, James Marsden got screwed over.
Agreed. Marsden never got fair treatment from Bryan Singer . Agreed! I'm so tired of seeing Cyclops used as a mutant punching bag ! Thankfully, CycIops was finally portrayed a more causative fighter in the movie , "'X MEN D∆RK PHOENIX"'. Not a great X-Men flick, but it was ok. Cyclops has a stronger appearance in the "'CYCL0PS eXtended Cut"' of the 1st X-Men movie.
All three X-Men movies were good. Even X-Men Origins Wolverine had some awesome scenes. I nitpick as much as Jeremy from CinemaSins, but I still enjoy the performers bringing the characters to life in such a deep way we end up questioning the way we deal with our own existences.
Agreed this is best X-Men film yet still. Anna Paquin was too background character as Kitty Pryde was taking over Rogue's spot. Animated series X-Men:Evolution's version depicted how Paquin's was intended as but never got as Singer promised she'd get more action in X3 when he was still attached as director before leaving for Superman Returns. And Xaviors School was also used as Lex's home in Smallville tv series. Only backside would be noticed. Good review😊
John Otman was actually supposed to score X1, because he scores EVERY Singer films, as well as editing them. But he was offered to make his directorial debuts with Urban Legend 2. And his theme is used only in the Singer directed X-Flicks !
I think Jean Gray had definitely started to change before the end of X2. I seem to remember a scene early in the movie where Cyclops is talking to Jean about how she and her powers had changed since New York, meaning the events of the first movie...
14:15 "X-Men 2" has always been the more popular title. X2, most likely, was a marketing gimmick or a stylized version of its title to make it much easier to recall.
It's so funny how some people recall what and where they first heard something. Or what they know it as. I'm pretty sure X-Men 2 was the original title. It somehow got shortened to X2 over time more and more. And the (United) was actually a tagline to begin with. Then it proceeded to make all DVD's and whatnot lol most overseas know it as X-Men 2 to my knowledge. Here in the U.S, we know it as United. But honestly, I just prefer X-Men 2. It's simple enough. X2 is still badass as well. Has that T2 vibe and whatnot
I’ve always called it X2. I would have loved to see that deleted scene with Jubilee. And jeez where has time time gone? I was a sophomore in high school!
One thing I always found to be a funny coincidence was that this movie reunited two actors who had previously worked together on the James Bond film Goldeneye.
I really hope when the MCU starts the Mutant Saga they do my guy Archangel justice because the Fox-Men did him dirty twice. The MCU usually does great adaptations so I'm pretty confident.
@kennyboggs3676 I know he's not popular enough to get his own solo film but I'd really love for a future MCU X-Men movie to at least give Warren his arc from being turned into Archangel/Death by Apocalypse with the blue skin and all. He's always been my favorite Marvel mutant.
Havok has always been another fave mutant of mine and they kind of didn't do him much justice in the Fox-Men films either, but nowhere near how wrong they did Angel.

I usually call it X2 for simplicity sake. There was a tie-in video game called X2 Wolverine's Revenge that I played a lot. Perhaps that has somethingto do with it. I should dust off my Gamecube and play it again.
James Marsden didn't get a lot of screen time, but how cool is it to be in X-men and Superman. A cool video idea might be on actors that played in both the DC and Marvel franchises.
Well that's one way of looking at it. A positive twist. I'm so tired of seeing Cyclops used as a mutant punching bag !

I've heard that 'God Loves, Man Kills' is a great comicbook. I haven't read it but I recently bought 'Days Of Futute Past' and will be reading that over the weekend. Once I've read that I will read Joker, by Brian Azarello, which I heard to be a good story, which some have described as "terrifying.'
I think the reason Sabertooth was removed was to put at least some thematic space between The Empire Strikes Back and X2. Having Sabertooth be with striker would have led to him revealing he’s Logan’s brother and “I am your father” “we’re brothers” and metaphorically Striker already fills that “father” void for Wolverine, and having lady deathstrike there enforces the “more machine than man” motif used for Darth Vader. I think I like that better. Splitting the same idea into two characters rather than doing 2 separate ideas birthed from the same motif
I'm shocked Minty only has 496k subscribers. I've been a subscriber for years and this channel is awesome!! This is a very underrated TH-camr. I love what you do Minty!
I always felt those Empire Strikes Back vibes with X2. X-men United sounds like a division 2 football club. Next match will be a Darby with Sporting Brotherhood of Mutants

Nightcrawler was a fantastic intro. Wolverine vs Lady Deathstrike was a excellent fight too!

Definitely want the Van Helsing episode!
I think it would be a good idea to do a video of the movie van helsing
@mintycomedicarts DEFINITELY want an episode about Van Helsing
Yes, Van Helsing please.❤
Well Minty,I'm "all knees up around the campfire" for Van Helsing🤠
I've heard that 'God Loves, Man Kills' is a great comicbook. I haven't read it but I recently bought 'Days Of Futute Past' and will be reading that over the weekend. Once I've read that I will read Joker, by Brian Azarello, which I heard to be a good story, which some have described as "terrifying.'
`God Loves, Man Kills´ is truly a classic and a great read. I recommend the original book, not the "Extended Cut".
I need that hoodie Minty. Good find.
I loved this video. All your videos are on point. Thanks so much for these!
It was all those titles. X2: X-Men United. And when we're being lazy ... just X-Men 2.
Another X-cellent video, Minty! YESSS to Van Helsing video! Loved that movie and watch it every Halloween!
X-Men 2 was released in the US in May of 2003
Cant believe Eli from the Good Wife has been Nightcrawler all along! Such different Characters!
Bring on Van Helsing! You should do the 90's Dracula and Frankenstein as well! Hell! Do the 30's ones too!
I'll never forget the moment in theaters when Wolverine finally used his claws to murder a dude. The audience reaction was incredible.
Definitely saw this opening day w/ my best homie, and sat thru it 2.1 times. (Twice through, then just the opening scene a 3rd time) love you Minty!
I think the reason Sabertooth was removed was to put at least some thematic space between The Empire Strikes Back and X2. Having Sabertooth be with striker would have led to him revealing he’s Logan’s brother and “I am your father” “we’re brothers” and metaphorically Striker already fills that “father” void for Wolverine, and having lady deathstrike there enforces the “more machine than man” motif used for Darth Vader. I think I like that better. Splitting the same idea into two characters rather than doing 2 separate ideas birthed from the same motif
One of the best part two of a movie series.
X2 is in my personal top 3 superhero movies of all time. I love this film
10 thing's you didn't know about X-Men the last stand please 🙏and the Simpsons movie 🙏🙏🙏. Your video's are awesome much respect from Chicago 💯
I'm shocked Minty only has 496k subscribers. I've been a subscriber for years and this channel is awesome!! This is a very underrated TH-camr. I love what you do Minty!
You should do the movie Sex Drive that James Marsde stars as an older brother. They actually make fun of him being cyclops in the movie. 😅
I always felt those Empire Strikes Back vibes with X2. X-men United sounds like a division 2 football club. Next match will be a Darby with Sporting Brotherhood of Mutants
A video on Van Helsing seems like a good idea..yet I would go for: Swordfish instead..
I recently went back and rewatched it gearing up for Deadpool and Wolverine. I forgot how much I enjoyed X2. ✖️2️⃣💛
Quality mate! Earliest i've managed to catch a new vid, less than 30min from post! 😂
