- Dark Phoenix isn't getting much love from critics, but as seems to be the case with X-Men movies, the audiences are feeling better about it. In honor of Fox's last run with the X-Men, here's everything right with the original X-Men! (2000)

You were correct at 8:55 when you said Ray Park was Snake Eyes and Maul, but Scott Adkins was Weapon XI and the bad guy from Doctor Strange.
Wow. You are 100% correct. I was so sure I didn’t even check but the second I started reading your comment I knew you were right. 2 great martial arts actors. Sorry Ray and Scott!
Also fight double for the headless horseman in Sleepy Hollow.
Legit just came to the comments to say this 😂
@@CinemaWins you should do every thing great about the man from uncle
Both are amazing stunt/fight actors
The fact that Magneto's lot was more physically different makes sense, they would have been treated worse, probably by their own families, than the completely human looking X-men, and would generally sympathize with Magneto.
edit: also, kind of interesting how Magneto, the villain, uses "by every means necessary", and the same phrase has popped up in modern politics..
He’s based off of malcolm x, while xavier is based on martin luther king.
*sneezenightcrawler
*sneezejuggernaut
@@BlackyChan2.0 Well, *early* Malcom X, anyway. It’s really interesting reading up on how he viewed his politics in retrospect.
Plus, Xavier's school teaches them to "blend in" with human society so it makes sense for them
Hugh Jackman really is one of the sweetest, most humble and generous guys out there - he is always a win!
yep, lots of wins for Hugh!
For some reason it took me years before I realized the skin between Logan's knuckles would heal between everytime he used his claws
8:39 oh CinemaWins...
i had to come back here after the Deadpool 3 news.
you got your wish
People don’t realize that this movie alone spawned everything great about superhero films..
*-The Dark Knight trilogy*
*- Marvel Cinematic Universe*
*- Raimi Spider-Man films*
Raimi's first Spider-Man movie came out 2 years after, and there already was a trailer back in 2001.
X-Men might have sPaWnEd a lot of good thing about superhero films, but not everything.
This movie ain't really the reason superhero movies are a huge succes today, this movie helped but there was also Spider-Man 1 who made a huge amount of money...
@@lunettesdurdu4233 The first X-Men Movie did make success back then. That's why the franchise was still doing numbers and sequels, prequels... So the franchise maybe wasn't as huge as Spider-Man, but they did pave the way for the "serious" comicbook movies.
Blade was first
So all of those old batman movies, the blade movies, the spawn movie, they're a thing because of this one? Got it.
Spawn came out first in the 90s but Batman and Superman were first overall
"You know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning"
It croaks! Seriously the line was right there waiting to be used! It still would have been a stupid line but at least it would have made sense!
It croaks! Best IMHO
I think the line is more a subversion gag, like you expect an Arnold Schwarzenegger style line, only to go more for nah
@@lennynero8614 The way I read the scene was that she was telling him he was nothing special. Seems like as big an insult as you could come up with for a mutant supremacist when you had him on the ropes.
@@Raguleader I'd never thought about it that way, but it makes perfect sense, now. Thank you
@Ultra the Happy Blue Fox-What's funny is Bryan Singer did an audio commentary with Brian Peck, who also used the line "It croaks." as a potential replacement line and Bryan was obviously irritated he hadn't thought of it himself, asking why Brian couldn't have been there during the production.
15:02 The kid drawing is Colossus, and is in reference to how in the comics he’s an artist, also seen in other later films too
11:51 Took me a second to confirm that he's actually beaten, but he is... sort of.
Magneto's King is in check, and has two options: Capture the pawn, or move to the adjacent space. But the pawn is defended by a knight, suggesting that the weaker mutants and humans are defended by the X-Men.
As for why he doesn't just move to the adjacent place: That place is currently under attack by a bishop. No, not the time traveling, energy manipulating kind. The translucency makes it unclear what side the bishop is on, but it's assumed it's one of Charles'. In which case, it's a piece operating at a distance that can still limit Erik's options, likely interpreted as Logan himself.
Or, given the First Class trilogy (FC, DOFP, Apocalypse), it could be Mystique playing wild card. In which case, Eric hasn't actually lost the war, just biding his time after losing the battle, which is what happens when Mystique breaks him out of his predicament.
The moral of the story is translucent plastic/glass chess pieces are not ideal unless you stretch the metaphor.
EDIT: 13:22 "Ah yes", it is indeed Xavier's bishop. Again, not the one with the M branded on his face. So the moral of the story is translucent clear materials don't film perfectly from all angles... Even if they do convey that Charles and Erik aren't as black and white as a normal chess set.
Thank you for this!!! Chess boards in movies are just a treasure trove of symbolism. Glad someone made sense of this
Please do Atlantis the lost empire or treasure planet!
Attempt #21
And treasure planet. Always gettin overlooked, 2 of my faves
+
I second this SO MUCH
Atlantis! God yes!
Also agree, treasure planet is a masterpiece and one if my fav films, and atlantis is also a great underrated disney classic
Its okay, Mystique gets one of the best lines in X2 to make up for not having much to do here.
Nightcrawler: "You can make yourself look like anyone.. like normal, right? So why don't you all the time?" (I'm paraphrasing here, I don't remember Nightcrawler's setup exactly.
Mystique: "Because we shouldn't HAVE to."
And honestly, her "People like you are the reason I was scared to go to school as a child" is clear enough motivation for me.
Oh my god the “superhero landing” spoof at the end was priceless!
rattatatter
I know right! Perfect editing.
You get a sin for the sheer and utter lack of "Hugh Jackman is always a win"
Also, Hugh Jackman is always a win.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!
OI OI OI!!
Always an win
OI OI OI!!!!!
OI OII OIII!!!!
OI OI OI!!!!!!
I respect you even more cinema wins for adding the lightsaber effect 😄
No.
Social Suicide what do you mean No??
The video was shit. The light saber was pandering on a shit video.
@@socialsuicide5734 a try hard how adorable
@@thedarkderp2520 Jut look at your fucking YT name and tell me I'm a try hard, you moron.
15:32 Stan Lee said himself that MLK and MX were who the characters were based off of.
X-Men was the first superhero movie I fell in love with. I'd seen some Batman and Superman movies, but X-Men was really amazing to me. It was also my first introduction to comic books in general. I still prefer them to any other comic books. I even studied making comics because of it. I wouldn't half the person I am today if not for this movie's impact on me. It deserves every win
While X Men is a wonderful film, it is certainly no Treasure Planet. In my slightly drunk state I request that you review Treasure Planet.
Seconded.
Thirded it

6:25 Wow, until now I have never noticed the fact that when Logan retracts his claws you can see the muscle in his forearm get briefly displaced by them.
9:05 I loved the lightsaber effect added when he twirled the staff
Me too
Technically magneto did help him build it. In X-Men apocalypse, magneto along with jene rebuilt the mansion and cerebro
Apocalypse was in different timeline
@@santoshkumarupadhyay3009 But that doesn't mean that some of that movie didn't happen in this timeline.
EVERYTHING about this movie is a WIN!! the directing, the action, the story, the script, the accuracy of the comics-to-life, the soundtracks!!
It also introduced one of, if not the most, iconic casting ever of a comic book character!! Hugh Jackman as THE Wolverine!!
Except the costume's
Too little development for Magneto and WAY too much focus on Wolverine are def not wins.
9:46
Is it weird that I didn't recognize Hugh's voice for a second, HE WAS SO YOUNG
Kate Kritanta it’s like Shawn Ashmore he’s a baby!!!!
What happens to a toad when they're struck by lightning?
They croak.
@6:00 Jean's statement actually is true. In terms of Telepathy, which was the context of Logan's question, Jean doesn't beat Xavier, Phoenix or no.
Love the video, and not trying to beat that guy, just expositing a little factoid. Keep up the great work! :D
I saw this movie almost 20 years ago in theaters and I just now learn that the screen writer was freaking Solid Snake himself, David Hayter is always a win
I love how in the scene where Magneto points everyone's guns at them, he frantically searches for a ferromagnetic core bullet, because his powers don't work on all bullets. That's how he got shot in later movies. He can't manipulate lead. That's a win and a half right there
14:36 This is a point that should've been expressed a bit more in your review, and possibly in the movies themselves. Magneto's original group were all people who would still be marginalized everywhere they went, if they went out in their default appearance. Even (the real) Mystique. It's not until Pyro joins late in the second movie that Magneto gets a follower who can "pass", and a white man at that.
3:14 Logan's answer should have a double-win because he could be referring to both the physical and emotional pain from fighting.
Technically, this wasn't Stan Lee's debut: he had a cameo in The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989) during the trial scene.
And an extended cameo in Mallrats.
and The Ambulance starring Eric Roberts in 1990, also the first Blade movie.
This video, rather surprisingly to me, gave me wonderful feelings of nostalgia. I think your trademark optimism elevated the experience. Thank you once again for these uplifting videos.
Part of this franchise that's a little on the nose is how Magneto/Eric starts to behave like the very people who persecuted him as a child. Even going as far as to try and enact his own 'Final Solution'.
i think the absolute best part about these early x-men films was the incredible friendship that formed between stewart and mckellan. it's commonplace to see them hanging out together nowadays, and it's just so awesome
ok, i have seen xmen countless times I never noticed that the Newtons cradle was stringless. 4:01
There are no strings on me!
The movie that started a 20-YEAR long franchise!!
To be fair, we'd never have gotten Logan or Deadpool then - swings and roundabouts
Black Ninja enough Logan
Don't you mean ´´a 19-year long franchise´´ cause the movie came out 2000 and it's 2019?
@Black Ninja
Shut up, dude.
19 years.
9:34 I swear I'm the only person who thought Storm's punchline was spot-on. She's telling a mutant who looks down on all the muggles that he's nothing special compared to everyone else in the end. Basically the same thing the old German guy told Loki in The Avengers (also a movie that Joss Whedon did a bit of writing for).
If I remember correctly in the comics Mystique’s clothes shift with her body which never made sense to me unless it was part of her body. Like she’s making the clothes. So I was always fine with her being “naked”.
It's years later, but just for future people who come along... Mystique IS naked in the comics. She just makes her skin look like clothing. Which is why when she changes identities she doesn't need to also change her clothes.
You forgot to mention the conscious effort by Rogue (and those behind the screen) to sit a good distance from Jubilee out of fear at 4:40...not sure if it is worth mentioning, plus love the videos btw
Fun fact
The movie debute of Stan "The Man" Lee was the tv-movie "Trial of the incredible Hulk" in '85 , 15yrs before X-Men.
PS- Mix it up and do an EGA Stan Lee
tv-movies aren't movie-movies.
@@vidarDJ16starkill Hol' up. 1st that's redundant because the word movie is in the term "TV-movie" and 2nd, are you telling me that "Ed, Edd, and Eddie's Big Picture Show", "Under Wraps", "Scary Godmother" and " Billy & Mandy's Big Boogie Adventure" weren't movies? Fine, poopie-pants, chalk up his first appearance to Mallrats in '95
One thing I LOVED about the first film was how creepy and eerie the tone was. Like we see rogue put someone in a coma during what should have been a cute scene, we saw Wolvy’s claws literally rip out of his fists. His creepy ass nightmare that led right into stabbing rogue. Seriously, Kelly’s whole arc?
Then x2 came out and the creepy vibes were dropped for a lighter more superhero-y tone. I’m sad to this day that this is what happened.
6:55 His actual first cameo was in 1972 in The Trial of The Incredible Hulk.
Im so happy this came into my notifications today. I lost one of my best friends today and this gave me a bit of happiness. Thank you lee
I'm sorry for your loss.

I love newer videos because they are so long and you go more in depth, earlier videos obvs got you here but you’ve improved massively
I kinda always saw X1 as the "A New Hope" of the franchise. The timeline moves forward, backwards, and even had spin-offs. 20 years after its release it's still an impressive movie/adaptation.
11:21 Rougan, Rated R, In a theater near you. 🤣
Stan Lee’s Marvel Film Debut**
He was in Jugular Wine, and Mall Rats before X-Men.
MARVEL film debut, not FILM debut
Big screen marvel film. He was in the made for t.v. incredible hulk movies.
The line in the video (and the subtitle) clearly states "his film debut". Which is incorrect.
Can you do Everything Great About Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or Bumblebee please?
It’s alright
@Ionasku Alexander Bumblebee was the only transformers movie that actually has a plot
Is there ànything great about Bumblebee? Apart, you know, from the fact that it ends after a certain amount of wasted time?

The following are the known Omega-level mutants as of the House of X relaunch: Jamie Braddock, Iceman, Elixir, Jean Grey, Legion, Magneto, Proteus, Mister M, Storm, Exodus, Quentin Quire, Franklin Richards, Vulcan, Hope Summers.
Magneto's red/black shirt in that underground layer is the stuff of legend. I'd love to have a shirt that look and color.
Please do EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT THE FIFTH ELEMENT!!
Super Green
So required!, I second this motion!
The superhero landing caught me off guard. I'm really glad you reviewed this movie as it was one of my favorite growing up. Could you please review Swiss Army Man?
I'll probably cry at some point watching Dark Phoenix. Really should have gone today, but it was raining. Couldn't go yesterday because adulting and I didn't get up early enough. Anyway, I was 15 when I watched this at home and it cemented my love for the fandom. 34 now, crazy how it's been 20 years of this!! Thanks for the nostalgia.😜
It's totally worth it. Don't listen to the Disney-owned critics. ;-)
One of the things that sold me on this movie was in that opening dialogue between Xavier and Magneto, it's shot like comic panels are drawn. If you look at he framing and the shot setups *they leave visual space for the speech balloons* It is most obvious as Magneto is walking away at the end of the sequence. You can almost see the panels as he walks away. "We are the future, Charles" (speech balloon at the top) next panel "Not them" speech balloon at the middle, Magneto a little further away. Next panel "They no longer matter" Speech balloon at the bottom, Magneto at the far point of the walkway. That was when it sold me. It was shot like a comic book.
That mutants were discriminated against when the... hundreds? ...however many other superheroes weren't (in the same way) was always irksome for me. Putting them in a film series where they were the only people with powers was a good workaround.
it wasn't a work around, it was literally the only thing they could do as they didn't have the rights to many other characters the ones they did have ended up being stand alone. Comic book movies were a risky business at that time and a shared universe was unheard of. Also mutants being treated differently from other people with powers is not all that difficult of an issue to explain. Heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America are one in a million. Unique. Special. They're exceptional because they're rare and choose to be good. Mutants number in the millions and could be anybody. They could have as just as many motives to explain why they use their powers the way that do. Not to mention when their powers emerge its often randomly and destructively. Simply manifesting powers puts others at risk. And again there millions of them. Mutants are unpredictable.
Love all the vids. Could you do a classic like Jaws at some point.? Keep up the fantastic work. Best wishes to the family.
Serial crusher? Was that a Boondock Saints reference?? DING!
Erich Lavelle I know right ?
I don't remember that from Boondock. Must mean it's time to watch it again.
Dude, you missed the thematic call back to the 90's theme during the prison scene at the end.
we want... no DEMAND a wife win narrated by julia for whatever she thinks deserves it
Speak for yourself. You need to redefine your word 'we' .
sure, "we" meaning the 28 other people who apparently agree with me
First off there are 38k views on this video so far with 3.8k likes and 636 comments. Your 28 likes doesn't account for the other people who saw your comment and didn't like it. 2, "DEMAND" is really extreme since you don't even know if SHE wants to do it. Again ask instead of presuming other peoples vote. 💪🤘
1. the likes only serve to show that the use of the word "we" is not unwarranted, not that more people liked the idea than didn't 2. Demand is a strong word and probably the wrong choice, however if she doesn't want to do it he can absolutely ignore my comment, delete it, or do whatever he should choose. Literally no comment has any value other than temporary suggestion :/
Yes they're just words, no impact or responsibility what's so ever.😏
Mad Max: Fury Road please?
Also I cannot wait to see Everything Great About Dark Phoenix. When might it be coming out?
also cherik yes
EGA Dark Phoenix won't be out for like three months.
He needs the digital/bluray release to get the footage from.
I may as well give up with Dunkirk, so how about the Steve Martin Father of the Bride. Its underrated as hell
I remember a few years ago, having a conversation with David Hayter on Twitter Messages about Doctor Who, and his screen writing came up. Long story short, probably the greatest conversation I will ever have. David Hayter! Solid Snake! A Fan of Doctor Who! I even recommended a book to him, which he said he'd read!
I'm so glad you uploaded, right before I see "Dark Phoenix ". Keep up the great work.
Cadillac Deville the movie not good at all
Awesome video, I always loved X-men!
Can you do everything is great about Coraline?
I am glad that you have gone back to the start of this series and I can't wait for your take on Dark Phoenix. Please can you do EGA Coraline xx
That ONE BAD GUY IN DOCTOR STRANGE you mention at 9:06 is actually the legendary Scott Adkins... not Ray Park..
I saw this was uploaded two minutes ago and I just had to come ASAP! I love you Cinemawins

I still love this film so much. I remember watching this once a week for almost a year back in 2001. Good times.
The first X-men movie before things went to shit.
Please do x2.
Really never know Stan lee made a cameo in this until now.
pretty sure he made cameos in anything marvel
Not Fant4stic
Grey World same and I never realised magneto had metal in his shoes to fly
His cameos were faaaar harder to catch in these days.
@@brandonlyon730 i can understand why he wasn't in that film
I enjoy this movie as a kid but wow i didn't know this movie is 20 years ago.
Please please PLEASEE do Everything Great about Rango!! I swear once you remember it existed you’ll remember loving it, it’s such a fun movie.
What I love about your channel is that it's like watching a highlight reel of the movie. Moreso than what you deem as wins or problems, I just enjoy recapping good films :)
Please do Rango, one of the most underrated animated movies of the decade
My mom isn’t really into superheroes a lot and I convinced her to watch my Blu-ray of this,she said “I REALLY like it,I want to see the sequel!”
I am trying to convince my mom to watch "Logan". She is not into superheroes either.
The catwalk with the Xs at the beginning is the Gherkin building in London
Wow, man! This movie is so nostalgic :3 gonna watch again pretty soon. Thanks for the awesome analysis.
1. Days of future past
2. Logan
3. First class
4. X1
5. X2
One of my first DVDs was the 1.5 edition of _X-Men_ which added all the deleted scenes back into the film. It really does make a superior film. Contrasts this with the Rogue Cut of DOFP which makes that film more cumbersome for me.
wdcain1 yo that’s super interesting! I’ll have to check out that version
Was the serial crusher thing at 8:30 a reference to The Boondock Saints?
These videos are always one of my favorite parts of my week. I love your optimism on everything
I hope you do X2 and Last Stand, maybe even Dark Phoenix eventually, I've been sorta binging MCU and DCEU EGA videos like a marathon.
FreeFire from 2017 had a great cast and lots of cool, consistent details. Would love to see you do a video if it!
Last time I was this early, people who said xmen were referring to the comic
Logan?
Logan.
Logan!
I watch you because you just make me love movies again. You are happy, informative, and fun. So thank you for everything you do. : )
I always thought of wolverine and rogues relationship as like a father and daughter. He cared about her as if she was his daughter, and she saw him as a father. And it felt like that throughout the movies at least to me.
I'd like to see Kong: Skull Island at some point in the future, just with Godzilla KOTM in the box office, I feel it could use some love.
I appreciate the Boondock Saints reference. "Serial Crusher," indeed.
ive had the Everything Great about... series on a marathon for the past few days now.
just wanna say i appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos.
thanks d00d
8:35, We might get to see him in that suit after all
Could you do everything great about Tears Of The Sun, it's a pretty good movie but what sticks out is it's amazing soundtrack by Hanz Zimmer
The sequel to Godzilla is out and is waiting to be done same with endgame and brightburn too
Don't know why I had never seen this one but a great nod to the serial crusher 8:26 would love to see you go over TBS one day I could probably watch that video for days
I would LOVE if you talked about Back to the Future!

13:19 - glad they use that line in Apocalypse
Oh shoot spelling error at 14:47
Also great video! Looking forward to the rest of the X-Men movies if you decide to do them.
(Also plz do the new Godzilla movie ASAP)
i notice a supreme lack of "Everything GREAT About Silence of the Lambs" in your backlog
5:00 Not only a lynching metaphor, but also a combination segregation/Inhumans reference right next to it.
I just watched “X-Men” for the first time yesterday and I really enjoyed it! It was almost campy but in a good way! And I’m so glad you said- “Boyfriends?” when talking about Magneto and Xavier because that’s what I was thinking through the whole movie. 😂
I would love to see a EGW Speed Racer. No one talks about that movies but it's such a stylish, fun and heartfelt movie and I love it.
