- This was the film debut of Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine. Before this, Jackman was in a major revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma for the National Theater in London. A video of that production can be found online, and he played Curly, who sings "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning." Since then, Jackman is about to be seen in his 10th appearance as Wolverine in Deadpool and Wolverine with Ryan Reynolds. He has also made many amazing films, including musicals (Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman), romantic comedies (Kate & Leopold), action films (Swordfish, Van Helsing) and others. One of my favorites that is a mindbender is The Fountain...it actually takes at least two or three viewings to get that movie. - Famke Janssen who plays Jean Grey was in another huge franchise for only one film. She played a villainess in the James Bod film GoldenEye, which was the debut of Pierce Brosnan as Bond in 1995. Her name in the film is...unique and memorable and perfect for a Bond girl. - Bryan Singer, besides directing many of the X-Men films (directing four, but having input on others) also directed The Usual Suspects, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Superman Returns (an attempt to reboot the Superman films before Man of Steel and the DCEU). He directed Kevin Spacey to his Oscar for Verbal Kint in Suspects, and Rami Malek to his Oscar for Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. - The chemistry between Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto) and Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor X) is one of the highlights of these films. They knew of each other before X-Men, as they are both well regarded and established stage actors with lots of Shakespeare roles between them, but had never met in real life. Since then, they have become best friends. They are extremely close...in fact, when Patrick married his wife, Sunny, Ian officiated the nuptials. They have done plays together in London and New York as well as other X-Men films. These men are the definition of friendship goals.

Prof X, Magneto and Wolverine together on The Graham Norton show is perhaps the single best episode of any late night talk show ever. Their respect and love for each other and the brotherhood they formed stand out and their stories are hilarious. Sir Pat Stew 😄

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

Slight correction about referring to Superman Returns as a reboot... Superman Returns is, actually, meant to be a direct continuation/sequel to the original Superman movies with Christopher Reeve. They basically ignored the 3rd and 4th movies but, it is meant to be in the same movie universe as the original two (which is why they incorporated footage of Marlon Brando as Jor-El from the first film). Just to distinguish it from something like Man of Steel, which is a proper reboot (i.e. it starts the story from scratch & exists in its own separate universe from the Christopher Reeve films). But, everything else you mentioned is correct! Great sum-up!! ☺

Don't know which cartoon you used to watch, but X-Men '97 (2024) is currently the best adaptation in the entire franchise. Highly recommended even to those who have never seen the 90s show.

[@CollideFan1]

Rogue is extremely powerful, she just can't control her power. If she touches you temporarily, if you're a mutant for example, she will absorb their powers. If she was to touch you too long, she could kill or send that person into a deep coma and she would keep that power permanently. The Rogue version in the movies kind of got screwed over because she is far more powerful in the comics. In the comics she permanently took the powers of a powerful Marvel character. Since X-Men and the MCU rights were ran by different movie companies at the time, Rogue couldn't have that Marvel's character's powers. Trying not to spoil, but Jay should know if he watched the cartoons from the early 90s. Sabertooth has fast healing like Wolverine does BTW.

I remember reading in Wizard magazine that director Brian Singer banned any of his cast and crew from reading the comics at all.

[@DavidLender]

Some helpful tips from a guy whose been reading comics (especially X-Men) since the 80's: - Sabertooth is very similar to Wolverine. He has a fast healing power, incredibly strong, animalistic senses (smell, hearing, etc) and those fingernail claws are strong and sharp enough to cut through some metals. But he's psychotic. The actor that played him in this movie is actually a professional wrestler named Tyler Mane - Wolverine in the comics is actually very short. About 5ft. Hugh Jackman is about 6ft. But he did great with the part so comic fans have given him a pass. He loves his cigars. - Magneto and Xavier are Omega level mutants. Which means that they are among the most powerful mutants. Magneto can tap into the Earth's magnetic field and wreck destruction around the world if he really tries. - Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) has both the powers of Telekenisis (moving things with her mind) and telepathy (reading peoples minds and controlling them). Whereas Xavier just has telepathy. Jean is an Omega level mutant as well as you'll find out.

[@Briana73]

The other movies show more of what she's capable of, as does the new cartoon (X-Men 97).

Jack Kirby's & Stan Lee's original Prof.X looked like actor Yul Brynner and Magneto looked like a younger Kirk Douglas.

The guy playing Toad is the same guy who played Darth Maul in Star Wars, Ray Park.

[@bryangarner671]

Love the X-Men movies also Batman, Batman Returns and Batman Forever are other Superhero movies that are a must watch.

[@KarstenHuehn]

If you haven’t already realised, this movie was directed by Bryan Singer, one of his first successful superhero movies … he’s also the director for “The Usual Suspects”.

Ian Mckellan has always been an awesome actor.

[@kevinfoust9407]

Im so jazzed for you two to engage in this franchise!

[@MikeJones-uq4zj]

Finish 2 Rocky’s, 3 Creeds, Vision Quest (you’ve done a few songs from it and it’s an 80’s iconic film), 5 Rambos. Finish rabbit holes before opening new ones.

I watched most of the X-Men movies with my 13-year-old niece this weekend. She is HOOKED. It was so great to open up KZbin this morning and see that you two had uploaded an X-Men reaction just a couple days ago! Really enjoyed this one. :) I saw these as they were released. They were such a huge deal, and it's nice to see the next generations enjoying them too. Looking forward to seeing more from you two!

[@ryanmckenna3503]

Christ, your Endgame reaction is gonna get 1,000,000 views

[@KarlKraus1]

You're not getting that for years... if they do get it on here They may just watch it in private because there are so many mcu things to watch and they still have a family to raise and other things to watch/do

[@ryanmckenna3503]

@KarlKraus1 yeesh yeah I just did the math.

[@js6729]

Just to give context to Wolverines healing ability, in the comic books he once regenerate from a single drop of blood. Y'all also need to start on the MCU (Starting with Iron Man and watch them in release order)

[@PatmanXGames]

I just did a double take because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This is going to be an amazing watch! These films are some of my favorites.

[@johnfrick9639]

I am an OLD comic book nerd. I was reading X-MEN in the 70's and 80's. So asking ME what power(s) I would like is a little daunting of a question. There are SOOOOOOOOO many. This movie hasn't even TICKLED the surface, much less scratched it. No, Cyclops cannot actually control his power. In the comic book it explains he and his younger brother barely survived a plane crash. His mother strapped the only parachute onto the boys and tossed them from the plane to save their lives. The landing caused a slight amount of brain damage to Scott, permanently impairing his control. The visor (and his glasses) are made from "ruby quartz", the only substance Professor X could find that could actually absorb (and, thereby, control) Cyclop's optic blasts.

According to Rebecca Romijn: It was a nine-hour makeup process for Mystique. We did, over the course of three movies, manage to get it down to seven hours, but that was still ... It was a big deal.

[@kerry-j4m]

9 hrs in the make-up chair ??? So she problably had to come to set in the wee hrs of the morning.When I was in the army stationed in Korea had to be at work at 3:30 am and work non-stop till after the lunch rush ( then had a 30 minute break )then work non-stop till 8: 00 pm.Kept this schedule because we didn't have enough personnel to run 2 shifts like back in the states.Being so busy made the time go by so-FAST-tho.

[@Markyajv]

@@kerry-j4m First off thank you for your service. Truly appreciated. By the time Jennifer Lawrence took on the role of Mystique she had to wait for a whole eight hours while blue paint was applied to every single part of her body. Not only that, but it took six make-up artists to apply it. And calling it a makeup chair is putting it nicely, as a period of the application required Lawrence to sit on a bicycle so the makeup artists could get to the harder parts of her body.

[@kerry-j4m]

@@Markyajv Thank you for recognizing my service,it's appreciated.Telling me all this behind the scenes stuff of what Lawrence had to go through ( That part about 6 make-up artists to apply make-up truly awesome ) I tip my hat to her and the make-up artists,they have my-MAJOR-respect.8 hrs to apply and cover Lawrence's entire body is insane tho. LOL. I mean this in a good way tho.Thanks for the behind the scenes info,didn't know any of this.

[@Gnomojo]

Yall are so wholesome. I feel like you’d be fast friends with ANYONE! You’re both just that friendly. I wish I knew yall in a previous life.

[@EVILTWIN5150]

Xmen are marvel movies License to Fox, Spider-man is licensed to Sony. And take place in different universes. Marvel studios have their own movies and these are known as the MCU. You should look up the order to watch them in as these movies are all connected. For the MCU start with iron man

[@leonabarad6972]

Yes, somebody should do a in-depth explanation to Jay and Amber regarding the Marvel movies.

[@walterrutherford8321]

Professor X and Magneto were once close friends. Magneto knew how to sabotage Cerebro, the machine Xavier uses to amplify his powers because he helped build it. I’d be thrilled to have several of the mutants’ powers: Magneto, Storm, Mystique, Wolverine, Jean Gray (she didn’t show off much in this movie), even the girl who ran thru the door.

[@debibailey2968]

How exciting!!! Love it!!! 🤣. Amber & Jay. 🤣. That man brought a gun to a knife fight. And still lost! Best comment ever!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@larissahorne9991]

I hear you about your daughter 's hair starting to resemble Storm's. In my mid thirties, mine started to look like Rouge's. My Dad's sister developed a grey streak in the middle of her dark hair when she was about that age. My hair started out a strawberry, honey blonde colour. It kept changing until my late teens into a chestnut colour. Which looked brown in the shade and firery red in the sun. Then, as mentioned, I developed a grey streak around my temples. It's about a decade on, and it's starting to work its way back a little. My fashion forward, Aunty loved her grey streak. I always did like streaks, etc. I never felt the need to dye my hair when it was changing by itself. But these days, I get it dyed chestnut with coppery red highlights. I'm an Aussie of European and Asian decent.

[@kevinmcphail3852]

Toad is played by ray parks who played Darth maul in star wars the phantom menace

[@technofilejr3401]

8:42, fun fact about Wolverine. He initially comes off grumpy and mean but to the his friends he can be a teddy bear. In the comics he would often be paired up with younger mutants (usually female) in a big brother mentor role. Rogue, Kitty Pryde( the young girl who walks through walls) and Jubilee (a young Asian girl who shoots fireworks) have all been his protege/sidekick

[@kevinshea7547]

Blade being Marvel’s first successful film makes it the first one you should watch.

[@Balaban78]

Another fun fact. The guy laying down in the bar scene is Beast's voice actor from the animated series in the 90s. George Buza.

[@SuperheroMovieReactor]

I'll be Wolverine. He can heal real quick. Love the Claws. GET READY FOR X2: X-Men UNITED!!

[@christopheroconnor1478]

Thanks!

[@SanKings_Patti]

OMG Yes!!! Will not disappoint, you might be intrigued by the characters: Wolverine, Professor X, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Mystique, Rogue, Magneto, Storm, Sabretooth, Beast, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, etc!!

[@francismcknight724]

The scene where he gets the leather outfit where cyclops says 'you were expecting yellow spandex?' is reflective of the comics but reversed

[@etc7070]

How was this movie released 24 years ago? DANG I AM OLD 😵 Anyway, this introduced Hugh Jackman to the world and stepped up the superhero movie as a genre. When X2 came out a few years later I officially became obsessed (because of Nightcrawler). Can't wait for you to see that one!

[@mhill781]

I can recall going to watch this with all my buddies back then.....

You are in for a treat. My only advice to you is watch the Marvel movies in order. You’ll understand why as you delve deeper into the MCU. Enjoy the journey. It’s well worth it 🇨🇦

The Toad character was played by actor Ray Park who also played Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode One.
