As my recent kick on X-Men continues, a thread for favorite moment of the trilogy. I'm going to make a poll with some of the common scenes, as well as some of my personal favorites. You can go in depth in your post if you wish, or even post some other favorite moments you have.
My favorite moment overall in the trilogy is -probably- the Phoenix climax on Alcatraz in X-Men: The Last Stand. I think it's emotional, epic, shot beautifully, superb acting. I know a lot of people have problems with the "You would die for them?" "No, for you" exchange, but I personally highly enjoy it, and feel it's in character for both involved. It should be Cyclops, yes, but overall, I just can't let my fanboyism get in the way of a great scene (or is it my fanboyism saying the scene is great?) Some of my favorite moments from each film: X-Men -Xavier and Magneto interaction at the Senate hearing. -Wolverine cage fight introduction. -Cyclops talking to a comatose Xavier - "Everything worth knowing I learned from you" X2: X-Men United -Magneto's escape from the plastic prison -Jean's sacrifice -Nightcrawler's White House invasion X-Men: The Last Stand -Phoenix climax on Alcatraz -Magneto's church and forest speeches -Magneto's televised terrorist threats --- 5 options from each movie, plus an "other" choice. Poll allows for multiple choice answers. Last edited by Nell2ThaIzzay; 12-13-2008 at 12:49 AM. |

I have a lot of favorite scenes, mostly from the first two movies. It would be difficult to choose just one, and while I enjoy a lot of the action scenes and power displays throughout the trilogy, my favorite scene could probably be narrowed down to one featuring both McKellen's Magneto and Stewart's Professor Xavier.
X-Men: A young Magneto in the concentration camp Wolverine in the cage Xavier and Magneto at the Senate hearing “What is this place?” montage Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Wolverine in Wolverine’s bedroom Cyclops talking to a comatose Professor Xavier The X-Jet emerging from the basketball court and flying under the bridge Storm obliterating Toad Wolverine and Jean Grey in the subbasement Magneto and Professor Xavier playing chess in Magneto’s plastic prison X2: X-Men United: The White House attack X-Men at the museum Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, and Professor Xavier in Xavier's office, discussing the White House attack Professor Xavier and Wolverine in Cerebro The Mansion raid, especially the cameos by Kitty Pryde, Siryn, and Colossus Pyro attacking the police officers and Rogue stopping him The dog chase sequence, including the first real glimpse of Jean Grey’s expanding power and Nightcrawler saving Rogue Magneto’s escape The X-Men, Magneto, and Mystique in the forest and in the X-Jet Mystique infiltrating Stryker’s lair, cutting through his soldiers, and flipping them off as she leaves Cyclops v. Jean Grey Magneto approaching and rearranging Cerebro Jean Grey’s sacrifice Professor Xavier discussing Jean Grey's sacrifice with Cyclops and Wolverine and later sensing Jean's survival Jean Grey’s voiceover, while the Phoenix emerges from Alkali Lake X-Men: The Last Stand: Cyclops grieving in his bedroom, haunted by images of Jean Grey Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix in the subbasement Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix, Magneto, and Professor Xavier at the Grey household …the only three scenes I care to watch anymore.

X1 has loads of scene's that I simply love, in X2, practically every scene I love, and in X3, there are very few, if any scene's, that I do love.
But my personal favourite has to be Jeans sacrifice at the end of X2, one of the most well-directed, emotional, and amazing scene's in ANY CB movie. Jeans commentary over the end as the Pheonix is seen beneath the water is the perfect ending to the movie and still gets me giddy even to this day. Its a testament to the directing that I KNEW Jean wasnt dead and yet was still almost in tears at her 'death.' Its just a shame that the movie that came after it didnt reach even a slither of the potential the story had IMO. But yeah, the whole of X2 was pretty much amazing to me and the closest to the 3 of the X-Men movie I have wanted to see since being a kid. But Jean's sacrifice just shades all of the other scene's for sheer emotional weight if anything else.

X-MEN - Wolverine cage fighting introduction.
X2 - Wolverine VS. Lady Deathstrike or Wolverine VS. Stryker's soldiers in the mansion. X:TLS - Wolverine VS. Brotherhood thugs in the woods. Favourite has to be Wolverine's introduction.

That's a great moment too, especially when Magneto turns the guns on the police officers.

Best scene overall to me was Phoenix battling Xavier. A true powerful moment of the trilogy, especially knowing these characters from X1 and X2 (especially X2)
Best action scene is a tie for me between Nightcrawler for its wow moment, and Storm in X2. That's the most powerful display from the Wheater Goddess. Truly beautiful scene, and she looks regal and calm. I love it. Jean dying in X2 is the best "human" scene. The whole 10 last minutes of that movie are heartbreaking. (especially when you remember the **** that was X3 and how epic it could be. That firebird in the end still gives me shivers) |

Even at it's worst, I don't think the movie is as bad as a lot of people make it out to be, but I can definitely understand why fans would be driven away from it. |

i always thought it would be cooler if jean had stopped that bullet. i mean, it would actually maker useful and youd see that yes she could stop one but her powers were not developed enough to do the rest. otherwise she should have gone into the train station with scott and ororo. ie when magneto says [I] dont think i can stop them all. it would have been much more chilling for him to say i dont think SHE can stop them all. |

I've always wondered why her hair is black even before she transforms into her human Raven Darkholme persona? Was that just BAD editting?

Mystique. She went around for several years using the name Raven Darkholme as a sexy brunnette

Mystique's real name is Raven Darkholme. That's her name in the comics, that has always been her name. When she was cured, she changed from a blue-skinned, red-haired form to a non-mutated form that had black hair and normal skin. Are you trying to question why she was called 'Raven' if she wasn't 'raven-haired' until cured? If so, we don't know if she was blue-skinned from birth. And the name Raven doesn't necessarily have to mean she has 'raven hair.'

Maniac i misunderstood your question I thought you were asking who Darkholme was ... I think EndZone was trying to say what Nell said.

thanks tho Nell for explaining my side. ![]() But yea that was what i originally meant. 'X-Maniac' is correct in this regard. I guess i could nitpick that it was a very fake looking Jet Black wig but some of the shots of the character pre-X-men 3 also showed a very fake looking red-head Mystique. ![]() |
