The Best Action Sequences in the X-Men Films

Give your opinion on which are the best action sequences in the X-Men films.

MrWayne · 05-26-2009, 09:04 AM

theres already a similiar thread in the: X-men Wolverine (Spoilers)

katie_girl09 · 05-26-2009, 10:16 AM

Well, in all fairness, the other one is for one-on-one fights. This one seems like just action sequences in general.
My fave is definitely Nightcrawler in the White House.

AVEITWITHJAMON · 05-27-2009, 08:08 AM

Nightcrawler in the White House and Wolverine in the mansion are definately the top 2, along with Magneto escaping the plastic prison, but forgot to vote for that for some reason!

Most of Magnetos actions scenes, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine vs Deathstrike.

All the others were mediocre.

I love the Nightcrawler scene, but I gotta go with Wade going to work. Considering that was all real, he did the sword play himself you gotta give props to Reynolds. And I mean, cutting bullets in half with a katana?!? That's just insane.

MrWayne · 05-27-2009, 08:45 AM

Nightcrawler!! cmon now.. how bad @$$ was that choreography?? lol there hasnt been an X scene yet even close to that lol... i mean they musta been on drugs doing X-2 becuase nothing before or after has been able to hold up against that flick!

Ace of Knaves · 05-27-2009, 08:47 AM

It was indeed.

Ahhh crap, just realized, it's multiple choice!!! Well my votes are for Wade and Nightcrawler then

MrWayne · 05-27-2009, 09:16 AM

you know if Wade had done more in that scene and actually made it a real action sequence where hes doin kicks n chops n shooting and slicing then maybe id consider it.. but its a weak scene imo.. just running through deflecting bullets was meh to me lol
that scene deserved some over top choreography imo... i wonder if we just excited to see Wade on screen finally lol

Ace of Knaves · 05-27-2009, 09:20 AM

Well seeing him on screen finally was a big part of it.

But I've always been fascinated by katana swords and all that. And him just casually strolling into a room full of machine gun toting goons and obliterating them up is PURE Deadpool. Taking out a room full of goons is his trademark. And the fact that it was all real sword spinning and all that, no CGI (apart from bullet sparks and that) just made it even more insane, for me.

Nightcrawler in the white house definitely. Just Magnificent directing there.

yea.. i see your point... im just hoping they saved all the over the top stuff for Deadpools movie!!

For me it is a straight up tie between Nightcrawlers attack on the white house and Logan's rampage against Strykers soldiers, both from X2.

Bren · 01-25-2011, 08:29 PM

Obviously (

) the Nightcrawler scene for me, but a little nugget of gold was the Pyro scene at Bobby's folks' house. You could see how he started off scared, then angry and then evilly joyful.

Plus, I like fire

Next up would be the Magneto bridge scene, escape from prison and the Weapon XI fight.

Must say, besides how it got there, and the fact that it was Wolverine (of course), I thought the ending to X3 was pretty powerful in isolation. Unfortunately, that wasn't an option....
