Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMost of the extras playing frozen people were actually mimes, who are used to not moving.
- GoofsIn Alkali Lake, as Nightcrawler and Storm are going to rescue the captured child mutants, when the camera pans to looking at the mutants with the back of the cell centre frame, you can clearly see Nightcrawler standing there before he actually teleports into the room a second or two later.
- Quotes
Professor X: Logan, my tolerance for your smoking in the mansion notwithstanding, continue smoking that in here, and you'll spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six-year-old girl.
Wolverine: You'd do that?
Professor X: I'd have Jean braid your hair.
- Crazy creditsWhen the 20th Century Fox logo fades away, the X in the logo stays for a second longer before it also fades away.
- Alternate versionsIn the American version of the movie, Wolverine asks for "something other than chocolate milk" and receives the reply "There should be some Dr Pepper..." In international versions, the replay is "There should be some soda...". In both versions, the bottle is still a Dr Pepper bottle, only the audio is altered.

Featured review
Best Out of the Original X-Men Trilogy
They did some many things better than the last. The stakes are much higher, the action is actually fun and cool to look at. Some of the dialogue in here was great, the writing was also miles better than the last. I've also come to care for these characters a lot more, thanks to the first one. The relationship between Xavier and Magneto is still interesting and still has me hooked. Cyclops continues to be wasted potential 😕. I was just happy that they were able to pay off what was started in the last. The first started the world building, and again, this was even better. Since we know the characters better, they're simply just more likable.
