20 Things The X-Men Movies Actually Got Right
5. The Opening Scene Of X-Men 2
Back to Nightcrawler.
In any X-Men film, Nightcrawler's attack on the president is the greatest opening credits out of them all. Introducing the character to the series, this sequence managed to showcase who Nightcrawler was, what his powers were and how powerful he is.
The fast paced action set piece features terrific choreography that really emphasises how quick Nightcrawler can be and just how many people he can take on in one single fight. The scene ends with Nightcrawler almost killing the President which gives a great visual of how this new character looks and just how terrifying he actually is if he was on the wrong side.
Not only a great introduction to the character, X-Men 2 showed us how much the choreography and effects had improved since the already groundbreaking first film.
