I saw this as a child, he was such a badass, stuck with me all these years. I don’t watch movies now, but I feel a cohort of mine really was blessed. It was probably the last golden age of cinema, a time where classically trained actors were at the peak of their crafts, where movies bases were broad enough to support genuine fanfare and excitement.

[@battymu]

I saw this movie opening day and myself and the entire audience was cheering during his escape and floating across the gap. Considering he wasn’t much of a bad guy In this film it felt great to root for Magneto!

[@3dgar7eandro]

Just brilliant!!! Ian McKellen perfectly portrays one of the strongest Omega level mutants and Most probably one the strongest antiheroes of all time: 'Magneto'

That was a beautiful scene which shows how powerful he was

[@AgarkovSerg]

One of the iconic scenes in X Men series

[@MrStalyn]

If you think about it, the guard basically died of anaemia.

[@Excalibur01]

And also multiple holes through his body

[@Rattenhoofd]

The holes in his body might also have something to do with it.

[@JJMomoida]

Blood loss anemia is a thing, although in this case it, with his blood being extravasated right out of him, probably hemorrhagic shock.

[@pwnmeisterage]

Looks like it all exited through his torso, but he probably has ruptured veins and arteries in all of his tissues. Including brain and organs. Magneto wouldn't care if this guy lived or died or suffered. He just wants all the iron.

[@xDshiv58]

Sir Ian delivered this so well.

[@heyboyzzz3708]

don't' believe a girl especially when she's interested in you that's so true line

[@mr.knightthedetective7435]

As powerful as they make Magneto in the movies they completely forget he doesn't control metals, he controls a fundamental force of nature- electromagnetism

[@stevenberliner7964]

When writing, acting, cinematography, and special effects all come together perfectly.

[@sonofthebride1642]

Undoubtedly, the BEST of the original X-men movies.

[@christiananderson4909]

Best scene in the film.

[@Sylar1968]

No, the opening the sequence in this film was mind blowing (Nightcrawler at the White House). One of the best action scenes any comic book movie

[@ImaginaShip]

The best Magneto scene in any of the films, although I love it in Days of Future Past when Fassbender has taken control of the Sentinels and after bringing down the stadium on the White House, he tells them “do what you were made for” in the coldest voice as he sends them after Wolverine and Beast.

[@kinger982]

Magneto: What could it be? Guard: What are you doing?!

[@yegfreethinker]

You got to admit for a villain he looks pretty badass and dripping with that whole gliding out of the prison thing and not help but love this villain😮

[@Robheadz]

"Never trust a beautiful woman, specially one who is interested in you" Sigma Magneto

[@HughJass-jv2lt]

Never trust a Big Butt and a Smile

[@Xylarxcode]

0:56 Magneto stands up and radiates a strange kind of confidence, at least from the guard's perspective and he immediately gets nervous and senses that something is off. He asks him to sit down and when Magneto refuses, he immediately reaches for his weapon and threatens him to sit down again. That's how you do power well, in a scene. The guard is scared shitless but he's trying not to show it. Show, don't tell.

[@sodothehivesonhisleg]

Like a lion in an enclosure

[@israeltoledo6611]

Magneto being extra having the metal balls orbit him 😂

[@justanobunagafanboy799]

Magneto is like the Flash of Marvel. His power may looks so simple, but it's actually very busted as hell.

[@bluemassgamer17]

Most of the main X-Men are beyond broken. Especially Iceman and Storm and Gambit.

[@GrokNZ]

mostly it comes down to people forgetting what his power actual is, most people just assume he move/manipulate metal, but he can control and manipulate magnetic fields, as well as generating electromagnetic pulses. Comic book Magneto doesnt even need the metal disc in this scene to fly since he just uses the electromagnetic energy that surrounds earth to fly, he has even on occasion made himself invisible since light is part the electromagnetic spectrum. Dude has literally survived a nuclear blast by creating force fields out of the electromagnetic fields he can control/alter. Electromagnetism has such wild and crazy applications once you move beyond the "can move metal". He can rip things apart at the atomic level so long as the reason for the particles being held together is electromagnetism. He could totally reverse the polarity of the earth if he wanted.

[@dstreetz91]

@@GrokNZ Yeah it's like how waterbending from Avatar: The Last Airbender is legitimately terrifying if you can apply it to any water wherever it is because the human body? 70% water or so not to mention all around us because most living things need water. Magnetics people have the same view where they think oh you got those two rocks to stick together because magnetism, but that is only scraping the surface.

[@Andrey_Gysev]

@@GrokNZ particles being held together not by electromagnetism but by strong interaction.

[@animetrashamvs]

Sir Ian at 1:40, does the same subtle wink he does in The Two Towers😉

[@Resident579]

Kratos : you are poor man face me 😂

[@nexusshark]

That smile when he sensed the iron in the blood. Magneto knew exactly what Mystique did to get that iron inside that guy.

[@jovannaolivares2274]

Magneto es uno de los villanos más brutales de este mundo ❤️🇻🇪

[@daustin8888]

This is up there with Silence of the Lambs when it comes to prisoner jail breaks.

[@TheGrrson]

Magneto’s giddy smile at the end of the scene is perfect. He’s having fun again.

[@rufuspipemos]

X-Men 2 to this day I think is the best all-around Superhero movie ever made. The best combination of plot, acting, fun, humor and drama, all rolled into one. I remember seeing it at a midnight showing opening night. The theater held 800 people and it was packed. The first X Men movie was a but under-budgeted, but the effects in this one were fantastic for the time. Such a good movie.

[@Morfe02]

i think is the movie stands out by today's standards. xmen 1 is much 2000, xmen 3 is bad is like 6/10 and well i like Wolverines movies

[@catherinesanchez1185]

I would put it up there with a lot of the marvel movies. I saw this in the cinema when it opened and the opening scene was just awesome.

[@mudrose3486]

I like how there's a small disturbance in the scan. A lot of iron, but not too much
