Corrected entry: In the scene in the museum food court when Professor Xavier freezes time, just before the shot cuts away from the boy who has been set on fire by Pyro and extinguished by Iceman you can see a big drop of the SFX "ice" fall from his chin. If time was frozen for him then obviously it wouldn't do that.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: When the X-Men's jet was about to crash and Magneto saves them by preventing the crash, how did he also know to repair the hole in the back of the jet? As the jet comes to a stop, the nose of the jet is facing Magneto.
Correction: Magneto's highly attuned to metals - as we see when he picks up on the metal in the guard's blood - and things constructed using them. When he took control of the plane, he sensed the disruption caused by the attack and bent the metal back into shape.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: Magneto only escapes his prison by ripping the excess iron out of the guard's blood, which Mystique injected. There was an even better opportunity to escape earlier, when Miss Nagai came in and attacked Cyclops. Miss Nagai has an adamantium skeleton, just like Wolverine, and he could've easily ripped this metal out instead.
Correction: Indeed, and had he not been in the process of being gassed into unconsciousness at the time, he might have done that, but the whole gassing thing can really foul up your concentration. Besides, there's no evidence that Miss Oyama (please note the name) went any closer than the antechamber while he was still conscious - from the fact that they perform the scans there, it's fair to say that Magneto can't manipulate any metals in that room.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: When Cyclops goes to check if Jean Grey is alright after recovering from Stryker's mind control, we see him walk around and grab Jean before quickly assuring her that he is fine. Trouble is, we only see him walking to find her. Given their serious situation and his love for Jean, he would definitely have being moving much faster (running even).
Correction: Given that he's just attacked her, rushing up to her would be the worst thing to do - far better to approach at a more measured pace, despite his concerns, to give her time to see that he's not being hostile, so that she doesn't lash out and fling him across the room again.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: When Wolverine is shot in the head, his Adamantium skull blocks the bullet, which means he only has a simple flesh wound. Based on this and on how fast he heals from far worse injuries, it shouldn't have taken him so long to heal, and it shouldn't have knocked him out in the first place.
Correction: The wound doesn't heal as fast because the bullet is lodged in place - it's only once it's been worked loose that the healing can take place, and, as we see, this is exactly what happens. It's also reasonable that Logan should be knocked out - his brain is effectively encased in a metal casing, which has just been hit, at extremely high velocity, by another metallic object. It's like standing inside a bell when it rings - the vibrations are more than enough to make you dizzy - this would be far worse. The shockwaves running through his brain would be more than enough to knock him senseless.

Corrected entry: When Stryker stands in the Oval Office to talk about his plan for invading Xavier's school, you can see an 'X' behind him in the decor, just above the door.
Correction: This is not actually an addition for the film - the "X" exists as part of the decor in the real White House.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Corrected entry: Pyro says that the mutant gene is carried by males, yet Iceman's brother is not a mutant. This is impossible. If the mutant gene is carried by the father, then the gene must be on the Y chromosome. Refresher: Males; XY Females; XX. This means that the father must be a mutant as well unless something triggers the mutation in the fetus. Which also means if a child ends up being male, it will always get the father's Y chromosome, and the brother to Iceman must be a mutant also.
Correction: Every human being has an X gene, and males have a unique Y gene, so the mutant gene might as well be the father's X gene. Thus explaining the existance of female mutants. Maybe the females carry the gene, but what could be called an "inactive version" of it, reproduction-wise. There's also the much simpler explanation that Pyro was lying to wind up Bobby's father, who's already pretty uncomfortable with the idea that his son's a mutant.

Correction: Time isn't frozen - Xavier has no power to do that. What he's done is mentally freeze all those present in their tracks, effectively locking their minds so that they aren't capable of movement and they aren't aware of anything going on around them. Time, gravity and so forth are all fully in operation as per normal, so it's entirely reasonable that ice could fall off the boy's chin.
