* FranchiseOwnershipAcquisition: The rights to the X-Men films were originally bought out by Fox back in the 1990s when Marvel was facing the fear of bankruptcy, and it wasn't until Disney bought Fox itself that the rights to the live-action X-Men films returned to Marvel some 20 years later; ironically, since Marvel was bought by Disney back in 2009, this technically makes the X-Men films a Disney property, meaning the franchise changed hands twice.

After the acquisition, the "[=FoX=]-Men" label is basically only used to differentiate the pre-Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse projects from the Creator/MarvelStudios projects.

*** In a ridiculously inaccurate negative review by Stephen Hunter in ''The Washington Post'', it quickly became clear that he either did not bother to watch the movie, or was distracted for most of its length. At one point, he said that Rogue had the power to ''reverse time'', even going so far as to call her "the Mistress of Rewind". He was apparently confused by the scenes in which she extinguishes flames (using Pyro's power) and makes Wolverine's wounds reappear (he let her borrow his HealingFactor. His wounds reappearing is [[NoOntologicalInertia another problem]]) [[note]]The wounds reappearing, in fairness, may not have been strictly an ontological inertia problem even in non-mutants. For instance scurvy can cause the reopening of even extremely old wounds that have been long-healed.

*** A review in the ''Irish Times'' complained that Senator Robert Kelly (R-KS), who had been killed in the first film, was somehow alive in the second... except he wasn't: the Sen. Robert Kelly seen in ''X2'' is actually just Mystique impersonating him. This was not only pointed out explicitly in the first film (for those viewers too sleepy to notice the characteristic flash of yellow eyes) but was a ''pivotal plot point'' in the second, which makes you wonder if the reviewer actually bothered to watch the film.
