I was just watching this last night myself and here's my one nitpick:

in Magneto's plastic prison, there's always some music playing in the background. Shouldn't that mean there are speakers? And speakers require some sort of magnet right? and at the very least some wiring that he could also probably manipulate...?

Anyway, that's it, it's still my favorite movie from the summer.

Okay try this one....

There are two types of metals, ferous and non-ferous. Ferous metals are the ones that are prone to rusting and oxidation (such as iron, tin, and aluminum). They are also the ones that magnetic. Non-ferous metals are the ones most commonly used for plumbing and electronics applications (such as copper, gold, and brass). Non-ferous metals are often NOT prone to magnetism. If you've ever seen the wires that run from your stereo reciever to your speakers they are made out of.......copper! Thus, in theory he wouldn't be able to manipulate the metal in the speaker wires. The speakers do have magnets in them but perhaps their magnetism emits the polarity that is would cancel Magneto's power. Or perhaps he was listening to speakers that operate with Bose's wave technology.

Anyway just sit back and enjoy...

Good point, but there are a couple of things that need to be straightened out . . . "ferrous" (not "ferous") metals are metals that contain iron. Iron is the only metal that is affected by magnetism, so any alloy containing iron (a "ferrous alloy") is also affected by magnetism . . . although the amount of iron in the alloy will also determine how greatly it is affected by the magnetic forces.

Additionally, while they are subject to oxidation (which has to do with the ability and tendancy to "steal" electrons . . . specifically the hydrogen atoms . . . from water to fill open spaces in the outer shell of the atom), tin and aluminum are not ferrous, since they don't contain any iron.

Your point is still well taken, it just wasn't completely scientifically accurate. :D

It has been a few years since I've taken remedial science.

I'm also guessing that director Bryan Singer had no idea someone would ask that question.

Warlock was a techno-organic alien who could change shape, so he could look like Jones if he wanted to.

Professor X could have frozen his mind like he did to the crowd in X2 :D

good ole Magneto had no problem manipulating the "copper conductor" that was the Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty underwent a massive restoration project back in the early 1980's. Now alot of the interior structure is stainless steal. The torch was one of the things that was completely replaced on the statue. However, the skin of the statue is still infact copper. But again that is probably another thing I think Bryan Singer thought nobody was going to ask.

aye, not that i'm a nitpcik i could care less realy, comics aren't practical why should a comic movie be? but at least he could have changed the dialogue to exclude the word copper
