20 Things The X-Men Movies Actually Got Right

20. The Plane Sequence In X-Men 2

There have been plenty of great plane sequences in comic book films, but the one in X-Men 2 may just take the cake.

In the scene the X-Men are being pursued by the US Military in the Blackbird when the military launch a series of missiles at the plane. The scene is full of tense and exciting moments for the fans, Storm being a particular highlight when she summons a series of tornadoes to stop their pursuers.

Another example is when one of the missiles strikes the Blackbird, causing Rogue to fall out of the plane and be saved by Nightcrawler, who teleports out of the plane and back seamlessly.

This action scene showcases the team in a desperate no win situation, while also throwing in a portion of the team's abilities. The incorporation of so many characters and powers creates a terrific action scene worthy of being included in this list.
