I love the whole concept of Magneto's escape. It's not just a cool scene but there's a nice set up before that in another great scene with Mystique. Ripping the iron out of the guard was brutal, using that to murder everyone in the prison while he floats away like a boss is a lot more unique than most action we're getting in superhero flicks now days. I get why people don't really rate it that high these days because they love they high octane fast paced action, but I prefer well thought out action scenes.
Wolverines story is drawn out in X2? I don't see how when we're finally learning about his past by the end of the movie that's resolved, Jean Grey turning in the Phoenix at the end is a bad ending? What exactly was vague about it? I consider that to be one of the best parts of the movie, Cyclops barely played a role for me to see he was one-dimensional, and Nightcrawler is a good example of what persecution the Mutants go through as well as being the comedy relief, same for Bobby Drake.
X2 has tons of drama that isn't plot service, like the entire scene where the X-Men and the Brotherhood are camping out together, and Bobby Drakes house scene.
TWS I thought has solid action but the everything else like the quips during serious scenes, the acting, and of course the villains are all subpar like most of the MCU in my opinion.
CW it's just a bad movie in my opinion.
