X-Men 2 is Bryan Singer's bigger, better X-movie where he has Professor Xavier's mutant heroes team up with Magneto's Brotherhood to stop a mutual threat in the form of Colonel Stryker, a compelled Lady Deathstrike and his son, who is a powerful mutant. Joining in is Nightcrawler, and many cameos that if you blink you might miss them such as Kitty Pryde, Jubilee, Dani Moonstar, and Siryn. Generally better written and more entertaining that the first film, though teasing about the Phoenix was a tad cruel to fans. Still fun to see after 16 yrs.

X-Men 2 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the end, when the President is visited by the X-Men, he receives a blue binder, which is laid in front of him on the table. When they have left, you see a shot including the President's desk, and you can see that the only thing he has on the table are some sheets of paper, stapled in the upper left corner, opened up. Then the shot changes to a close-up of the President, and then back again, and you see the blue binder in front of him, closed, and the papers have disappeared. (02:01:40)

Questions

Question: When Mystique is disguised as Senator Kelly, why did she tell the other politicians about Professor Xavier's school?

Answer: Stryker was trying to get permission from the President to raid the school on the grounds that it is a mutant training facility. Mystique interjects and claims it is a docile boarding school in an attempt to dissuade the President from granting Stryker's request, as she doesn't want the students at the school to be harmed.
