What is the best and worst X-Men movie?

[@geardog24]

I hate how Nightcrawler was just tossed aside after X2. He's one of the best X-Men in history.

[@freakboy186]

How can you claim that Pyro's change in allegiance isn't justified? Pyro clearly shows hostility towards humans in the opening scene at the museum and when he literally tells the police to fear him before he attacks them at Iceman's house. He's following along and keeping his head down while he's at the school, but he clearly doesn't agree with Xavier's ideology. So when Magneto tells him that he's a god and that his mutant identity is more important than his human identity, he finally feels validated and instantly jumps ship. Did you even watch the movie Doug?

[@GalenNight]

In defense of Magneto using the little metal balls I think that shows creativity of his power. He took the iron out of that guy’s body and turned it into his escape tools.

Everyone says xmen uses blue too much. The truth is that blue was chosen in the comics since it was one of the cheaper colors(along with green and purple)

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Who’s here after seeing Deadpool and Wolverine

[@noobslayer135]

That opening Nightcrawler scene still holds up.

[@greenman394]

Xavier is ONLY a telepath, he does not (and I can’t stress this enough) have telekinetic powers in the slightest. Jean has both.

[@BYERE]

I mean, yes, the whole floating platform thing DOES look silly, but it IS the sort of thing Magneto would do...

[@BugsyFoga]

Who else agrees that Alan Cumming as NightCrawler was the highlight of the film 😄👌

[@Rafa.mudo.]

"Even facebook has better security" and all facebook plataforms crashed today, coincidence? I think not.

[@kurington.blogspot7876]

During the scene where Magneto escapes his prison my son (9) said that "Magneto is cool!".

[@BurningBushProductions]

I know it’s a cliché, but I actually think Magneto saying “You should of killed me when you had the chance!” Kinda works.

[@jackrichardson7020]

"this is the only way"

[@yourgenerictoxicfanbase2332]

Actually there did exist a comic where Mystique and Wolverine were a couple! In fact, believe it or not, Mystique was actually once Wolverine's lover before his memory was erased during the Weapon X project!

[@greyworld6242]

The opening of seeing nightcrawler kick ass is still kick ass.

[@Corthmic]

"Xavier couldn't have lifted the plane from the inside?"

[@cockroachcharlie5619]

I'm pretty sure Nightcrawler's fear of teleportation was actually explained in the movie. It's the classic teleportation problem. If he doesn't know the location, he could end up teleporting into something solid. Catching Rogue was easy as she was in freefall, as well as getting back on the plane since he knew the layout. He DOESN'T know the interior of the base (not in active memory anyway) so it carries much more risk.

[@Kujakuseki01]

Xavier isn’t a telekinetic. He can’t move things, so no he couldn’t have lifted the plane.
