X-Men - Every X-Men Movie Reviewed & Ranked

[@crosstownslayer7013]

IM SO HAPPY. WE ARE BACK BABY

[@puttar2k]

"up at noon and blowies you used to call it" LMAO!!

[@thefearmakerlive]

Hugh Jackman was a last minute replacement for Wolverine, that's why he's so skinny. Dugary Scott, who was the bad guy in Mission Impossible 2,(The John Woo directed one which also featured Thandie Newton of Solo and Westworld), and he played Prince Charming in Ever After with Drew Barrymore, had to go back and do reshoots for Mission Impossible 2. So at the last minute, they replaced him with Jackman who'd finished runner up in the casting. So mission impossible movies have directly affected 2 comic book movies, this situation, and Henry Cavil's mustache in Justice League. (Also if you didn't know, Cavil was the runner up to Brandon Routh in Superman Returns and Daniel Craig for James Bond. Lost to Routh because Routh favored Christopher Reeve a bit more and Craig because he was too young and they wanted rugged).

[@livinglegend629]

Y'all are forgetting about Blade. That was really the first attempt at a more serious comic book movie and for being rated R, was pretty successful.

[@langleymneely]

Mario Miranda my thought EXACTLY!

[@ShabeRaven]

I was just making sure someone said this. Everyone always gives X-Men credit for starting the modern comic book movie revolution, but there wouldn't be an X-Men movie if it hadn't been proven 2 years earlier that an amazing comic book movie could be made with an even lesser known character.

[@francisray4935]

So stoked for this! There should be a Kinda Funny In Review for EVERYTHING. Do Studio Ghibli after this guys.

[@dylanbuc1867]

And the Ghibli Festival is still going on right now! They could go out and do the theater experience

[@francisray4935]

Dylan Buc X-Men will take them at least 2 months tho’. Btw, the Ghibli Festival is at the US now? Did you guys have one last year? Cos I live in Indonesia, and the Ghibli Festival here was October last year. I’m trying to figure out if they r doing it annually or somethin’.

[@wiladams7225]

You guys forgot to mention the best line in the movie. When Wolverine comes back after fighting mystic (not sure if i spelled it right) and Scott asked if he was the real one. " How do I know you're the real one?" Wolverine response with "You're a Dick"

[@sidal714]

Sir Ian McKellen was very well known in the theatre world and as a Shakespearean actor before his time with X-Men. Just thought I’d throw that out there. If anyone’s interested you guys should see the acting class him, Patrick Steward, and other famous actors teach Shakespeare with John Barton.

[@kindafunny]

We say that. - Greg

[@sbfaught]

IT'S HAPPENING! I love the OG X-Men movies!

[@connorstory6373]

When I saw a quick thumbnail I thought Jared was in this, but nope, Just Greg in a bald wig

[@Raiden8816]

I see X-Men, I click like. #StillWantAGambitMovie

[@alberttsoi]

I am crazy because I first listen to the podcast then I watch the video (in full). Thank you, Tim, Nick, Greg, Kevin and Andy for creating great content. Because of MCU in Review, I started becoming a Patreon member. I am now a patreon of both Kinda Funny channel and is hopefully a best friend. Thank you

[@ChristianNava]

Remember this is the superhero flick that started it all (I mean the new age of "grounded" comic book movies that brought superheroes to the mainstream).

[@langleymneely]

Christian Nava I still argue Blade laid the groundwork for this and the comic films to follow, but people never give it credit.

[@ChristianNava]

Langley M Neely solid point. Never considered that.

[@kingofzero]

I find the reason no one gives blade credit was how bad 2&3 was. But I say the same about the X-men movie universe it’s just bad lol.

[@ChristianNava]

I liked what Del Toro did with the 2nd Blade and I enjoyed that film more than the first one (despite de terrible CGI). Having said that... yeah, the third entry in the franchise was an atrocity. Regarding the X-Men being the cornerstone of the modern superhero genre instead of Blade, I think it has a lot to do with the X-Men being a more well-known IP and the movie being family friendly whereas Blade was PG-something.

[@KBABZ]

Nick asked if Ian McKellen had done LOTR yet. While the first film wouldn't come out until 2001, he had already completed principle photography on all three movies in the late 90s.

[@StealthMaster86]

Filming of The Lord of the Rings trilogy happened in late 1999 and took all of 2000.

[@alexlawrence6440]

Basketball boy is my new favorite xman

[@DeanJamesKetchum]

From all the best friends in Mississippi, we always enjoy the show from our tugboats. I just got my second one!

[@ThatGuyKeondre]

Can we just address that from 2:16-2:20 Andy is still wondering wether or not that video was kinda funny related but doesn’t address it 😂

[@librarygary1618]

to be fair it sounded like greg was talking about some video in a twitter moment of some random dad

[@En1gmat1c1]

I love the fact this is a recurring show. GREAT WORK GUYS!

[@jamesleggett8845]

"X-periment with your brother or sister!" Real talk Andy might be the kinda funniest.

[@igpx07]

Not sure I'm a fan of Kevin and the constant glasses look....but i still love him. Awesome episode! Keep up the good work @KindaFunny!

[@RafaDarth]

Andrew Handel its so dumb

[@alexlawrence6440]

He’ll yeah, I missed Greg’s plots the last month or so

[@jomurico89]

Up at noon and blowies... Jesus Greg I'm crying from laughter!

[@kindafunny]

You're welcome! - Greg

[@jomurico89]

¡Ay Dios mío!

[@stephentoth6003]

Kinda Funny Ian Mckellans first famous roles interested me after you guys talked about him before XMen, found out he was Death in Last Action Hero!!

[@rccharger21]

I love how the plot description takes 1 hour haha love you guys so much :)

[@2nd3rd1st]

The picture on the table is wrong, it's promotional for X2. And the background is artwork for Days of Future Past.

[@HermitHomeboy]

Man, there were some noticeable scenes where major x-men characters (Storm especially) just stood there being silent.

[@PapoOv]

Please do a react for ant man and the wasp, and do a proper mcu in review when the bluray is out. I really dont like when you skip gregs narration

[@kindafunny]

We’ll file this “under consideration.”

[@TyranBatten]

I agree. Another reason for them to re review Black Panther and Infinity War as well. For Greg's beautiful plot summaries

[@55meds]

I was super hyped for this until I remembered what week 3 and 4 are going to be...

[@KittyKatProd]

Hell yeah my boy Nick sniffin' beers at 1:00

[@Julius_Pringlz]

Be cool to have a Disney Princesses in review. I already have an idea on how you can rank the princesses based on the first topic of the GOG show ever . . . .😉

[@GianlucaSorrentinoVideos]

YESS YOU'RE BACK MY LIFE IS WHOLE AGAIN

[@Deadspace448]

Great podcast guys! While I've never been much of a huge fan of the X-Men films compared to the MCU series which I consider to stay more faithful to the source material, it's still fun listening to your opinions of how the films hold up now and can't wait to hear your discussion on X2: X-Men United. You might as well do an entire review for all the Spider-Man films (Sam Raimi trilogy, Marc Webb duology & Homecoming) leading up to Homecoming 2.

[@erikheisenburg1759]

"Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur." Seriously on point analogy.

[@alexlawrence6440]

Wooooh! Been watching for a couple years and this has become my new favorite show!

[@CGoodin]

"Can I have some more Fun Juice" Greg Miller. LMAO

[@BMR2560]

Rewatching after Deadpool & Wolverine… 😂😂😂 the tiny studio is throwing me off

[@blaizeadisek4376]

Any idea what Greg says at 44:22??

[@dukefan887]

I remember this movie so fondly, I had an X-Men game for my GameBoy Color and I remember my parents taking me to see the OG X-Men the night it came out. I thought I had the coolest parents in the world. But GOD DAMN this movie does not hold up lol. I do appreciate it for what it did to spark the fire tho. Looking forward to the rest of XCU!

[@donziboy32]

Nick is 100% right about Hugh Jackman being a last minute addition. Dougray Scott was originally cast as Wolverine but had to drop out at the last second due to scheduling conflicts with Mission Impossible II. It was a whole thing back in the day...and I remember because I'm old, like Nick.

[@langleymneely]

Jared Taylor Hey man as another guy that remembers, we aren’t old, we are aged to perfection!😜

[@donziboy32]

I like how you think! I'm really surprised Tim didn't find this when looking up trivia for the movie. I remember it being a huge deal at the time. Right up there with Stewart Townsend being replaced with Viggo Mortenson after LOTR started filming.

[@langleymneely]

Jared Taylor My thoughts exactly!

[@Thegqnerd]

Oh man am I glad you guys chose that song for the intro

[@CRIMS0NF0X]

Morphe...

[@langleymneely]

Hugh Jackman was a last minute replacement for Dougray Scott who was forced out of playing Wolverine because shooting Mission Impossible 2 as the villain ran over schedule and he was forced out. Poor bastard. Also the actor playing Senator Kelly was NOT the actor from Harry and the Hendersons, thats John Lithgow, Sen Kelly is played by Bruce Davison. As always, love the podcast guys, especially when the films suck, like most of the X films do. Cheers Boys!

[@LockmortEdits]

He was the dad from the tv show adaptation of Harry and the Hendersons

[@langleymneely]

Lock Mort He was!? Lmao! I barely remember that show too. Now THATS a deep cut! Ha!

[@dylanblank2377]

At 13:00 Andy Kevin and Tim all grab a drink lol

[@TyranBatten]

Amazing

[@cheyneo187]

How awesome! I just randomly started watching these movies last weekend before I heard you guys had said anything about this. This worked out so well! Lol These films hold such a special place in my heart, X-Men 1 was the very first DVD I ever bought lol, so I may be very bias. But come one Tim and sometimes Nick, I love you guys but you guys were super harsh on this movie. It’s nearly 20 years old at this point so of course it’s going to be a sign of the time, and I don’t think you can really compare these to any of the MCU movies as they were nearly a decade apart, we had a quite a few superhero movies already at that point and they had plenty of time and examples to draw from to perfect that formula that X-Men really started. Thanks god Greg and Kev were there to spread the love!

[@thehypoxic.450]

RAAAAAAAGUUUUU BAAAAAAAGUUUUU

[@brocketybrock]

WHERE'S YOUR RAGU

[@goombaboomba593]

You guys should review Incredibles 2

[@grooms93]

Greg’s reaction at the end!! XD Tim: “Until next time...” Andy: “eX-periment with your brother or sister!” Kevin: “What?! No!” Greg: “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!” Nick: “No, no, no, no, no, no...”

[@BrowneVlogs]

I cackled when Andy dropped the 1:26:42 bombshell

[@Tybo215]

I totally get now why I thought Jared was in Greg’s instagram about this

[@11Bbq]

The villain from Mission Impossible 2 was supposed to be Wolverine but reshoots kept him from doing it. Hugh was skinny because he had almost no prep time. Also, he thought Wolverine was another word for wolf and had to be told to stop doing wolf things by the director...Australians...

[@alexlawrence6440]

Was waiting and hopping for a post credit scene

[@dred1ablo]

It's crazy that everytime people do a retrospective on comic book movies, Blade gets no love on reinvigorating the genre.

[@ShabeRaven]

100% There is no comic book movie revolution without Blade.

[@AKipostthings]

Tim's fucking commitment to the ender is fantastic

[@wex7777]

Great first episode guys! Ps. Where's the after credit scene?

[@meckah4057]

Great video, as always! I can't wait until you guys get to Logan!

[@williammcglinchey8033]

Holy fuck Andy's ending line lmao

[@TheHOOfan1]

Nick reminds me of John Lovitz from "The Critic" his tag line could be "It stinks"

[@Osminium]

As far as I remember Dougray Scott was supposed to be Wolverine, but had to pull out because he was filming Mission Impossible 2 at the same time.

[@maddockjr]

Man the noise of Rogue chewing in the car with wolverine drove me insane.

[@maddockjr]

Also I love you guys.

[@MrWartburg]

So down for this. You guys going theatrical cut of The Wolverine or the (much better imo) unrated version? Same with which cut of DoFP?

[@Garoth4582]

MrWartburg Hopefully they do the unrated version of the Wolverine. I mean it didn't fix everything but it did elevate the movie. I just can't wait for Logan. It's my favorite super hero movie if not just my favorite movie in general.

[@maddoggnick96]

Near the beginning, when Tim mentions the '89 Batman movie as an early comic book movie, I think it's a little different. The early '90s Batman movies are like movies that are based on comics, but made as movies. X-Men, in my opinion, tried to be a comic book movie that gave you the feeling of the comics. That's just my opinion though.

[@BrandonDNH2]

Looking forward to the Days of Future Past and Logan reviews

[@kevinkomaki7392]

Vision from solo got me cracking up

[@martinmolina149]

For a split second, I looked back at the screen and thought I saw Jared. But it was just Greg in a bald cap 😂

[@TrevorJStarkey]

The natural punchline to Storm's line at the end is "they croak" so it just winds up feeling like Storm doesn't know how jokes work to me.

[@weezyfinegold870]

Kevin looks like the bank robber who gets left behind in a heist film

[@Zen_Ronin]

I've publicly asked Nick to make a Bond in Review happen. Now we just need the fans to cry out for it!! Show 007 some love folks!

[@MikeHeldTheWorld]

After this you guys should do "Every James Cameron movie reviewed and ranked".

[@ShabeRaven]

I'm so glad to see so many people are giving Blade the credit it deserves in the comments here for starting the CBM revolution.

[@kelb0y9o20]

Guys guys... Nick saw the accent but heard the wig

[@CheefChaos]

1:05:15. Holy fuck Andy made me snort with laughter

[@adamstewart3052]

First time I've heard a shout out to Mississippi listeners, and it was perfect!

[@briankeogh335]

music kicks in...oh Jesus yes

[@Elnont]

To me Hugh was always a perfect wolverine, he grew into the look sure but he had the personality and mannerisms down to a T.

[@singh60]

dougary scott was in line for the wolverine role... but delays on mission impossible 2 meant the role was recast with an australian. if curious about his other film work (besides a movie with drew barrymore), twin town is a welsh crime flick..... SPOILERS..... Also with Rhys Ifans pre- notting hill fame

[@HugeFilmFan]

Looking forward this new series, keep it up guys :) Also an idea for the next one, DC animated universe in review??

[@ShaolinPrince718]

OMMFG THAT INTRO!!!

[@DamnFineCupOfCoffee]

The first X Men movie is one of my favorite superhero movies. The first half specifically is perfection.

[@Baytuh]

FLAPJACK!! and the BOISZZ!

[@keithmpire]

What's the joke at 44:20? I rewound a bunch, that shit's illegible.

[@kryptonianBane]

keithmpire someone please help. Lmfao I need to know

[@jbamforth79]

Greg, great shirt.

[@ObjoGaming]

Waiting for Nick Cage's Ghost Rider in Review

[@KeithFarrell1993]

BABY WE DID IT, IN REVIEW LIVES

[@Caliloki1]

When are we getting basketball boy movie though?

[@ElimRem]

MORPH!

[@gonzo2105]

I see Greg using a Sasha Banks cup I guess its BOSS TIME

[@MagicSalmon98]

Xcelsior!

[@JIPunisherIL]

After this, you should review the Blade movies.

[@neojd]

Awesome ep. I think X-Men still holds up in a cheesy although good way.

[@sameliantv7881]

Hey guys why dont you just put up a image of the Rad Guys Bad Guys rankings so Greg doesnt read them all? Then you just edit it like you do for the movies rankings

[@Gunslinger199]

I watched the movie at least 20 times on HBO. I remember most lines. It's still great.

[@themarvelanddcmarshlands]

Are you guys going to cover Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut or Once Upon A Deadpool?

[@joshua0209]

Pleaaaase, what did he say? 44:20

[@kryptonianBane]

Josh Rdz wtf was said I'm going crazy

[@KarioDudeRBN]

I keep coming back to this just to listen to Andy close out the show

[@Mike_L.]

Can someone please photoshop Nick's face on Alex Jones, screaming about wigs? Thanks

[@Fa1con87]

Magneto deserves to be much higher then 12th! His underlings are just pawns.

[@askxperia]

Isn't Josh Tranks Fantastic Four part of the same universe? Can we get a review and ranking of that as well?

[@jasonhales2530]

I think we missed the mystique abs, she is looking good

[@atomicddt]

“Tell cyclops I got him a convertible”

[@melbye7441]

Michael Biehn should have been Cyclops and Angela Bassett should have been Storm

[@langleymneely]

melbye They went to Bassett but after being Oscar nominated she cost too much for cheap as hell Fox. Lol ironic considering Halle Berry eventually won an Oscar and made them pay up more money for X2.

[@D__Sync]

HERE WE GO BOYS!!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO!!!

[@TyranBatten]

Is there any hope of you guys ever re reviewing Black Panther or Infinity War? I really liked Black panther more upon a more recent viewing

[@kindafunny]

Never say never, but no plans right now. - Greg

[@CartoonReview]

They should re-do them when each new MCU film comes to streaming/blu-ray. Otherwise, their rankings are kinda pointless.

[@Plutowulf]

I am very protective of X-Men....my first love of comics....this should be interesting
