DVD Reviews of X-Men Trilogy (X-Men/ X2 - X-Men United/ X-Men - The Last Stand)
DVD Review: Satisfactory
Summary: 4 Stars
The set of DVDs arrived on time in its original packaging but appeared to have been sat on or something.DVD Review: Good Box Set, But Not Great
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good box set if you don't own the films. Although this set does not include the 2 disc editions of the first two films. You just get the bare bones copies of each three films. Overall it is a decent set if you just want to watch the movies but if you are a die hard fan and want all the bonus features, this is not the set for you.DVD Review: Catching up before latest X-men movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I never really watched any X-men movies until now I wanted to get caught up before the latest release.
This collection is awesome. It kept me captive the entire time it kept my interest. If you an X-men fan & don't have any of the first three dvd's get this box-set.
DVD Review: X times 3 = 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
For quite a while, if you wanted to see a good superhero movie, you needed to watch one based on a DC hero. In particular, Superman and Batman dominated the box office (although the quality of the movies would be sporadic). Movies based on Marvel characters were clearly second-rate. That would change in 2000, when X-Men came to the screen.
Based on Marvel's most successful franchise, the movie followed the concept of the original comic book by focusing on a private school that is also a refuge for mutants. Running the school is Charles Xavier, a wheelchair-bound telepath whose last initial would provide the name for the X-Men. Although there are other superpowered mutants, clearly the focus of the story is Wolverine, an antiheroic loner with a hazy past, an incredible healing ability and an adamantium skeleton complete with retractable claws. Opposing them is Magneto, a powerful mutant who, having been understandably scarred by the Holocaust, is now intent on not only stopping persecution of mutants but putting "homo superior" in power.
The success of X-Men came about for a number of reasons. First of all, it was based on a hit comic book. Second, it had good special effects, something that had not been available (either technologically or financially) to earlier Marvel adaptations. Ultimately, casting would be the big difference. Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen give classiness to the major roles of Xavier and Magneto and Hugh Jackman is wonderful as Wolverine. The supporting roles are also ably played, and include once-and-future Oscar winners Anna Panquin and Halle Berry and even Rebecca Romijn-Stamos as the thoroughly nasty Mystique.
Bringing all the elements together was director Bryan Singer, who would also handle the sequel, X2: X-Men United. This follow-up story has Wolverine learning more about his past while the team contends with a rogue government operative who is intent on killing all mutants. He does this by framing mutants for an attack on the president. Singer would not be around for the third movie, having moved on to do a Superman movie with decidedly mixed results.
Instead, it would be action movie director Brett Ratner who'd do X-Men The Last Stand, which does indeed feel like the final chapter in a trilogy. The plot in this story focuses on a supposed "cure" for mutants, which some feel should be forced on all superpowered folks. Magneto is back and does not take kindly to the idea that being a mutant is an illness. He becomes the leader of a resistance movement. Caught in the middle is Famke Janssen's Jean Grey, who has acquired powers that make her nearly omnipotent, but also has caused her to become mentally unstable.
All three movies are pretty entertaining and well-made, so the X-Trilogy boxed set is a nice set to have. It also represents the renaissance of the superhero picture, with not only other good Marvel movies (most notably Spiderman and Iron Man) but good DC ones as well (particularly Batman). If you're a fan of this type of movie, the X-Trilogy is a pure pleasure to watch.
DVD Review: Essential addition to any superhero-movie fans.
Summary: 4 Stars
I still remember when the studios announced that X-Men would be made into a movie. Now, several years down the road, the trilogy is complete.
For the movies, I'd say that X-2 is the strongest, followed by X-Men, with X-3 being the weakest of them all. Still, seeing my favourite superheros brought to life was good enough and they did a pretty good job with these movies.
For the product itself...again, a very typical boxset. There's nothing special about it...it's just a hard paper box with three regular-sized DVD cases with a single disc in each. There are no extras to speak of.
I like to collect things in sets so I opted to buy the boxset. However, if you're expecting anything special or bonus material, don't even bother.
