Trivia:
Health and safety restrictions meant that helicopter blades were not allowed to be moving when the actors - in this case, Rebecca Romijn and Ian McKellen - were sitting inside the helicopter. The moving blades had to be added in digitally afterwards.

Goofs:
Continuity: In the first film Storm spoke with an African accent, as the character in the comics is herself African. By the time of this film her accent has apparently disappeared and she speaks in Halle Berry's natural American tones.

Quotes:
[first lines]
Professor X: [voiceover] Mutants. Since the discovery of their existence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Across the planet, debate rages. Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain or simply a new species of humanity fighting for their share of the world? Either way it is a historical fact: Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute.

This was a great sequel to the first X-MEN movie which was also good but could've been a lot better. Many of the shortcomings of the first movie are annihilated in this one, and the sequel makes a lot of important plot setups for the third movie to cover. The acting was excellent from everybody, the script was well done, and more action scenes were added to make the movie more exciting. The only complaints that I had from this movie was the short screen times for Halle Berry, Patrick Steward, and James Marsden. I hope that for X-MEN 3 Matthew Vaughn will find a way to add new characters,and give these three more screen time than they got here. Overall, a great second entry that knocks the crap out of the first movie.
