Magneto X2 prison escape

par Capucine · old hollywood: Magneto

What sells Magneto as truly frightening in X2 (2003) isn't the power itself, it's what he does with something as ordinary as a guard's iron. Locked inside a facility built to be inescapable, he reshapes that metal and carves his way free. That sequence, for me, is comic book cinema at its finest. The man barely needs to move and the whole room turns against you.
