X-MEN (2000) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | Hugh Jackman | Patrick Stewart | Ian McKellen

I always assume people have seen the movies that I loved from my childhood. While X-Men may not be perfect, it set the groundwork, and X-2 may arguably be the greatest superhero movie. At least, in the top 5.

Hugh Jackman took ice-cold showers every morning of filming in order to help get into character. This tradition started when jumping into the shower at 5 a.m. before realizing there was no hot water. Shocked awake but not wanting to wake his sleeping wife, he gritted his teeth and bore it before realizing that this mindset, wanting to scream and lash out at something, but having to hold it in, was the mentality that Wolverine is in constantly. He then made cold showers his Wolverine preparation routine for each movie featuring the character.

Shortly after accepting the role of Magneto, Sir Ian McKellen was offered the role of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings, which, originally, he had to decline. He spoke to director Bryan Singer about his interest in making The Lord of the Rings, and Singer agreed to rearrange this movie's shooting schedule so that McKellen would finish his scenes by the end of 1999, freeing him up to travel to New Zealand in January 2000, where The Lord of the Rings had been in production since October 1999.

I don’t care what anyone says about the trilogy I still enjoy them and rewatch. Only those of us that grew up on the 90’s cartoons understand

Welcome to the X-Men, Cinnepals! Hope you survive the experience! (Comic book geeks will understand)

This film is what originally got me into the superhero genre. I remember seeing it as a kid with my dad in theaters. He was a huge X-men fan.

18:13 Thats the same house they use for Lex Luthor in Smallville and Olliver Queen in Arrow

30:26 R.I.P Stan Lee

Considering he woke up in a lab after the experiments waking up again in another one would be jarring..😂

*Logan* what do they call you? Wheels? That bit always makes me laugh 😂
