On a positive note, the X-Men are brave, devoted to their professor and school, and loyal to one another. There's occasional profanity ('s-t,' 'ass,' 't-t,' 'd-k,' 'hell') and some product placement as characters drink Dr. Teens smoke in a mall, and Wolverine is often seen with a cigar in his mouth. At other moments, characters are kicked, thrown, and shot at. There's a scene of forced sexual coercion during which Mystique forces herself on a prison guard, where they end up in a bathroom - the initiation of oral sex is strongly implied.

The action in the fight scenes is unrelenting and, though cartoonish and rooted in comic books, features moments where the president of the United States is pinned down on his Oval Office desk by a knife-wielding mutant, police officers are burned to a crisp, and soldiers are clawed to death by Wolverine. Parents need to know that X2: X-Men United is the action- and violence-packed second film in the X-Men blockbuster movie franchise.
