Trivia: An early draft of the script had Magneto saving Professor X from Dark Cerebro and escaping with the other X-Men. According to director Bryan Singer his was changed late in production not only to remain true to Magneto's ruthless character, but also to give the other characters--namely Nightcrawler and Storm--something more to do in the film's climax.

Goofs: Continuity: When Professor X visits the plastic prison, Magneto's face is very badly bruised. By the time he meets up with the rest of the X-Men his face is completely healed, even though it's less than a day later. (more)

Quotes:
[first lines]
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.
