X-Men movie quotes taken from every film in the X-Men series. With the release of X-Men: First Class this summer, the popularity of the X-Men film series is skyrocketing once again. All three original X-Men movies are highly quotable, featuring great one-liners from characters and compelling dialogue and monologues. Read on for some of the best X-Men movie quotes from all three X-Men films: 2000's X-Men, 2003's X2: X-Men United and 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand. Click here for quotes from the X-Men prequel, First Class.
Dr. Jean Grey: "I think you'll be comfortable here." Wolverine: "Where's your room?" Dr. Jean Grey: "With Scott, down the hall." Wolverine: "Is that your gift? Putting up with that guy?" Dr. Jean Grey: "Actually, I'm telekinetic. I can move things with my mind." Wolverine: "Really? What kind of things?" Dr. Jean Grey: [shuts closet doors behind him with her mind] "All kinds of things. I also have some telepathic ability." Wolverine: "Like the Professor?" Dr. Jean Grey: "Nowhere near that powerful. But he's teaching me to develop it." Wolverine: "I'm sure he is. So read my mind." Dr. Jean Grey: "I'd rather not." Wolverine: "C'mon. You afraid you might like it?" Dr. Jean Grey: "I doubt it."
Yep, instant attraction. Jean and Wolverine definitely have some serious um, tension going on.
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: "Ah, Logan. I'd like you to meet Orono Monroe, also called Storm. This is Scott Summers, also called Cyclops. They saved your life. I believe you already know Dr. Jean Grey. You are in my School for the Gifted for Mutants. You'll be safe here from Magneto." Wolverine: "What's a Magneto?" Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: "A very powerful mutant. He believes that a war is brewing between mutants and the rest of humanity. I've been following his activities for some time. The man who attacked you is an associate of his called Sabertooth." Wolverine: "Sabertooth?" [looks at Storm] "Storm." [looks at Xavier] "What do they call you? 'Wheels'? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard."
Can you really blame Wolverine for his hesitation? I mean one minute you're just living your life, the next you're at a school for "gifted" mutants being introduced to people called "Storm" and such. Would certainly be a bit off-putting.
Wolverine: "Who's this guy?" Rogue: "This is Bobby, he's my..." Bobby: "I'm her boyfriend." [shakes Logan's hand and freezes it] Bobby: "Call me Iceman." Wolverine: "Boyfriend? So how do you guys...?" Bobby: "Well, we're still working on that."
Yeah, tough situation there Rogue. Thinking this isn’t gonna be a really affectionate hookup.
Magneto: "Charles Xavier. Have you come to rescue me?" Professor X: "Sorry, Eric. Not today." Magneto: "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Professor X: "The assassination attempt on the president. What do you know about it?" Magneto: "Nothing. Only what I read in the papers. You really shouldn't have to ask, Charles." Professor X: "What's happened to you?" Magneto: "I've had frequent visits from William Stryker. You remember him, don't you?" Professor X: "William Stryker." Magneto: "His son, Jason, was once a student of yours, wasn't he?" Professor X: "Yes. Years ago. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to help him... at least not in the way his father wanted." Magneto: "And now you think that taking in the Wolverine will make up for your failure with Stryker's son. You haven't told him about his past, have you?" Professor X: "I've put him on the path. Logan's mind is still fragile." Magneto: "Is it? Or are you afraid of losing one of your precious X-men... old friend?" Professor X: "Eric, what have you done?" Magneto: "I'm sorry, Charles. I couldn't help it." Professor X: "What have you told Stryker?" Magneto: [sighs] "Everything." [gas emits] Magneto: "The war has begun." Professor X: "Scott!" Magneto: "You should've killed me when you had the chance!"
This scene basically sets up the new battle that's happening in X2, as the X-Men attempt to track down and kill William Stryker (Brian Cox).
[to Senator Kelly] Magneto: "Are you a God-fearing man, Senator? That is such a strange phrase. I've always thought of God as a teacher; a bringer of light, wisdom, and understanding. You see, I think what you really fear is me. Me and my kind. The Brotherhood of Mutants. Oh, it's not so surprising really. Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand. Well, don't fear God, Senator, and certainly don't fear me. Not any more."
With one line: "Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand," Magneto manages to sum things up nicely. Well, not so nicely, but he gets the point across in his mutant-terrorist way.
Nightcrawler: "You know, outside the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I didn't hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes." Storm: "Well, I gave up on pity a long time ago." Nightcrawler: "Someone so beautiful should not be so angry." Storm: "Sometimes anger can help you survive." Nightcrawler: "So can faith."
Faith has it’s place, but Storm is totally motivated by her fury. Whatever works!
I Can’t Touch My Boyfriend Without Killing Him (X-Men: The Last Stand)
Iceman: "You don't seem fine; you seem like you're avoiding me. I mean, something's wrong." Rogue: "What's wrong is I can't touch my boyfriend without killing him. Other than that, I'm wonderful." Iceman: "Hey, I don't think that's fair. Have I ever put any pressure on you?" Rogue: "You're a guy, Bobby. Your mind's only on one thing."
Remember your first love issues? Bet they weren’t nearly this complicated. Mutants, though, seem to have the same issues we all have - just with a really deadly twist.
Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: "Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward."
Ah, Professor Xavier. You explain everything so easily - even complicated genetic mutation stuff. Evolution certainly leaped forward a lot with your mutants, now didn't it?
Senator Kelly: "I have here a list of names of identified mutants living right here in the United States." Dr. Jean Grey: "Senator..." Senator Kelly: "Here's a girl in Illinois who can walk through walls. Now what's to stop her from walking into a bank vault, or the White House, or" [indicating the gallery] Senator Kelly: "into their houses?" Dr. Jean Grey: "Senator, please..." Senator Kelly: "...and there are even rumors, Miss Grey, of mutants so powerful that they can enter our minds and control our thoughts, taking away our God-given free will. Now I think the American people deserve the right to decide if they want their children to be in school with mutants. To be taught by mutants! Ladies and gentlemen, the truth is that mutants are very real, and that they are among us. We must know who they are, and above all, what they can do!"
Senator Kelly, you are just too paranoid. This fear is a recurring theme throughout the film. The mutants are simply fighting for acceptance.
Professor X: [voiceover] "Mutants. Since the discovery of their existence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Across the planet, debate rages. Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain or simply a new species of humanity fighting for their share of the world? Either way it is a historical fact: Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute."
In the first film, the mutants were fighting to be accepted by society. Now, they’re not only continuing that battle, they’re also fighting to survive the wrath of Stryker and others who want them eliminated completely.
Power for the Greater Good (X-Men: The Last Stand)
Prof. Charles Xavier: [to Class] "When an individual acquires great power, the use or misuse of that power is everything, will it be used for the greater good or will it be used for personal or destructive ends? Now this is a question we must all ask ourselves. why, because we are mutants."
Leave it to Patrick Stewart to consistently deliver some of the best quotes in all of the X-Men movies, particularly X3.
A Vision of a World United (X-Men: The Last Stand)
Ororo Munroe/Storm: "We live in an age of darkness: a world full of fear, hate and intolerance. But in every age, there are those who fight against it. Charles Xavier was born into a world divided, a world he tried to heal... a mission he never saw accomplished. It seems it's the destiny of great men to see their goals unfulfilled. Charles was more than a leader, more than a teacher. He was a friend. When we were afraid, he gave us strength. When we were alone, he gave us a family. He may be gone, but his teachings live on through us, his students. Wherever we may go, we must carry on his vision. And that is a vision of a world united."
*Sniffles* Talk about motivation. Kill Xavier? Hell hath no fury, indeed.
Mutant Theatre Organizer: "This cure is voluntary. Nobody's is talking about extermination." Eric Lensherr: "No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then, one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you." Mutant Theatre Organizer: [interrupting] "Excuse me, but..." Eric Lensherr: "It's only that you realize, while you were talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun. Make no mistake, my brothers. They will draw first blood. They will force their cure upon us. The only question is, will my brotherhood and fight, or wait for the inevitable genocide? Who will you stand with - the humans... or us?"
It all comes down to this: An epic battle between the forces of good and evil as the X-Men, led by Professor Xavier, take on the Brotherhood and Magneto. Time to choose sides. Carefully.
Wolverine: "Magneto's right: there is a war coming. Are you sure you're on the right side?" Storm: "At least I've chosen a side."
One of the great things about the X-Men film series is the quips - and while Logan/Wolverine delivers many, several other characters, particularly in the original movie, get a turn as well. Here, Storm (Halle Berry), gets in a zinger.
