X-Men /X2 /X-Men: The Last Stand

What we have here is a simple boxset for the X-men Trilogy of movies. You get X-Men , X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. While the box-set itself is not very impressive, the quality of the DVDs is. The package comes in a simple laminated box with each DVD having its own standard sized case. Each disk looks great on my DVD player(1080p up-scaled) and the audio is crisp. SPECIAL FEATURES DISK 1: X-Men - Deleted Scenes** - Animatics - Art Gallery - Storyboards - Trailers & TV Spots - Hugh Jackman Screen Test - "Metant Watch" Featurette - Charlie Rose Interview **The Deleted Scenes are part of a 10 minute addition of the film. To view them you must watched the film in "Branching" Mode (in the options). This is perhaps the weakest part of the DVD as instead of smoothly transitioning the scenes into the movie they are loaded in. What this means is when a deleted scene comes up, the DVD stops playing a moment(black screen) and loads the deleted scene, which has the X-Men symbol in the corner. When finished the DVD goes to a black screen again and reloads where you were in the film. It makes for a very clunky play-through. On Older DVD's you could select the scenes individually. On the DVD I got you are unable to. Disk 2: X2: X-Men United - Audio Commentary by Bryan Singer & Newton Thomas Sigel - Audio Commentary by the Writers & Producers * Outside of the commentary there is no bonus features what-so-ever on the disk I received. The movie itself was great! Disk 3: X3: The Last Stand - Audio Commentary by Director/Screenwriters and Producers - Deleted Scenes - 3 Alternative Endings OVERALL: If you are looking to own all 3 movies then this set is a great deal, as you get all 3 movies for a fair price here. While this does not constitute a complete collection, since there are special features are missing (especially the 2nd movie) you can't go wrong with this set.

Who wouldn't want three fantastic movies for the price of one? - well you would be a fool not too! X-MEN THE TRILOGY - all three fantastic movies in one handy cardboard box. Like all trilogies, the first movie is great - you get a good sense of who is who, what they are and what they can do. There is action, romance even a dirty little love triangle. But as the series continues for me they do go slightly down hill. By the time you reach the third movie (new director) you have characters galore however not enough time to actually focus on them they are sort of just blowing through, blink and you miss them. While others you simply stare at the screen thinking, "hey where did this dude rock in from?" not to mention the EXTREME action, actions good, when it is done properly! For me, if i had no idea of x-men prior to watching these movies i would have been rather confused. All in all i did like this series, i wouldn't have brought if i didn't and i think you as a consumer would feel the same. It is an easy watch, and definately something you can turn on when you feel like not focusing on anything.

No issued with dvd

Brett Rattner and Bryan Singer, as directors, have entirely different takes on the mythology of the X-Universe. While watching the first two, Singer takes you on a journey, bending a LOT of rules, but with reverence to get the main idea across. Then you come sliding into third and CRASH! Rattner slams you over the head with over-the-top action, shocking murders, destruction of a kind by the Phoenix never imagined by the comic book. Phoenix was definitely unleashed in the movie, but the action was so jarring, so many different things were going on with the mutant cure, Phoenix's resurrection and subsequent "trance" since all she did was stand around and look forbidding, suspected love triangles with Bobby, Rogue and Kitty that the movie lacked reasonable coherence. If you are an X-fan who loves anything anybody throws at you with no regard for respect, this is the trilogy for you. If you are an X-fan who won't like "just anything" but still love the X-men in any incarnation this is for you. If you are an X-fan who won't like just anything but just likes to pick stuff apart, this is for you. And if you're not an X-fan but like lots of action, this is for you. If only Rattner hadn't blown it! The brightest spot in X-3 was Kelsey Grammar's take on Beast. "Fascinating!" And the first two--HUGH JACKMAN as Wolverine-didn't think he could pull it off but he does. The extras are boring IMO though, since I tend to not care about extras. Ian Mckellan and Patrick Stewart are superb as Magneto and Professor. Action packed, yes.

Classic collection, arrived in better shape than most discs I get through Amazon (i.e. case wasn't cracked, discs weren't floating around inside). Very happy to add it to the collection!

In X1 there was the attempt by Magneto (played superbly by Ian McKellan) to convert humans to mutants. In X2 it was a plot by a corrupt Fed to kill all the mutants using Xavier (Patrick Stewart). In X3 a "cure" is found that makes all mutants human. Cure indeed. Who said the mutants were sick? Such is the view of the mutant self-proclaimed leader Magneto. In the final chapter, Magneto fears that the "cure" will be forced upon the mutant population and wages war against the source of the cure with the aim to destroy it and anything that gets in his and his loyal followers way. All three movies are suspenseful and exciting. No bathroom break urges in these films. New mutants are hatched in each film and some of our favorite mutants are dispatched (quite early on in X3). Special effects are 5-stars. If you've not seen any of the movies (or all of the movies) in the trilogy, this 3-pack is a great opportunity to see a classic tale in chronological order and own a classic 3-part tale in the genre that belongs in any sci-fi fan's collection. Hugh Jackman is excellent in the tough-guy roll as Wolverine (we like you better as a tough guy, Hugh); Halle Berry (Storm), Anna Paquin (Rogue), James Marsden (Cyclops) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique) are all spot-on too. And Famke Janssen is Phoenix whose character is key to the trilogy. Beast is in X3 too, actually played by (to my surprise in the rolling credits)...Kelsey Grammer! Now there's a real mutation! All in all a very entertaining 6 hours of movies here. X fans won't miss these, and you shouldn't either if you're into the action, sci-fi or fantasy genres.

When I was younger I liked these movies quite a bit. Now it’s not a great story and very cheesy. But still fun

DVDs work perfect only thing I’d have to note is that the dvds do tend to fall out of the holder but other than that no complaints :)

Esta trilogía contiene: - x-men - x-men 2 - x-men la decisión final Contiene 6 discos (2 por peli, uno con la peli y algunos extras, y el otro con el resto de extras), y todo está en español. El interior de la caja es bastante bueno, cada disco viene separado del resto, no hay discos solapados que puedan rallarse. La calidad de imagen es buena, mejor que las ediciones en dvd, pero no como calidad suprema bluray (las pelis ya tienen sus años). Lo malo, algunos extras vienen en menor resolución, esos sí parecen verse como si se tratase de un dvd... pero pasa casi siempre extras donde lo que más importa es la información que aportan, no la calidad de imagen, y esos extras se van perdiendo en otras revisiones de x-men que van lanzando al mercado

Qualité parfaite

Excelente paquete con la trilogía original

Qui non voglio fermarmi troppo a recensire i singoli film, ma voglio sottolineare che le 5 stelle sono sopprattutto per la bella edizione acquistata.. I film oramai li conoscono tutti: i personaggi tra i più famosi della scuderia marvel, che lo scorso decennio rilanciò con tutti i crismi (e la marea di imitazioni) il genere super hero, assieme al già dimenticato (purtroppo) Spiderman di Sam Raimi. I primi due tra l'altro hanno un senso autoriale davvero incredibile, mischiando una grande regia per un film estremamente commerciale, ad un plot ben fatto e che ben ha ripreso le trame dei fumetti (forse nel loro momento migliore).. Il terzo è una specie di chiusa del discorso (trilogia), un pò meno autoriale ed un pò più di mestiere; in cui si rimane un pò delusi dalle grandi aspettative di "climax da gran finale" nonostante la buona sceneggiatura.. buona la prima parte, ma lo scontro finale tra mutanti è meno glorioso e d'impatto di quello che ci si aspettava: si vede la differenza di mano della regia di Brian Singer dei primi due capitoli rispetto al terzo! Comunque i film sono belli e godibili, e quest'edizione, gli rende davvero giustizia! Primo perchè racchiude in sè i tre soli film della "linea" principale di storia, senza i vari spin-off come X-men - l'inizio o wolverine.. Secondo perchè contiene le edizioni speciali a 2 dischi blu ray dei singoli film (a suo tempo usciti singolarmente) e con tutti gli incredibili extra che erano stati preparati per i dvd ancora prima, più le nuove possibilità (vedi mini filmati durante la visione) di extra offerti dai blu ray.. Ottima la qualità audio video: il buon dts è lo stesso delle edizioni speciali in dvd, ma la resa resta davvero ottima.. Il video già buono, se possibile è migliorato come resa in più punti, grazie alla maggior quantità di dati, sopprattutto nelle scene buie.. Splendida e d'effetto inoltre la confezione, con uno slim trasparente, ed un cofanetto a dimensioni ridotte con eleganti digipack per i dischi; anche se il tutto (confezione e porta dischi) risulta un pò debole e a rischio di rotture.. Comunque per me rimane l'edizione più completa ed elegante dei tre film! (PS: altre come la quadrilogia, o quella con x-men l'inizio, contengono si uno o due film in più, ma hanno solo i dischi con i film di questi film, oppure la confezione non è altro che un raccoglitore con le singole confezioni a disco singolo all'interno [bruttino]). OTTIMA - Consigliata!

For myself, films like these are why we invest in 4k technology, with awesome special-effects (CGI) in all three films in the trilogy, certainly worth owning on this format. Key cast includes - Charles Xavier / Professor X (Patrick Stewart) Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto (Ian McKellen) Storm (Halle Berry) Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) Rogue (Anna Paquin) Cyclops (James Marsden) Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos ) Toad (Ray Park) Senator Robert Kelly (Bruce Davison) Colonel William Stryker: (Brian Cox) Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming) Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy / Beast (Kelsey Grammer) Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones) Pyro (Aaron Stanford ) Shadowcat (Ellen Page) From Marvel Comics - In the first of the trilogy we learn that once great friends Charles Xavier and Magneto now stand some distance apart in their strategies toward the so-called normal occupants of Earth, Charles wants to forge understanding, Magneto seems set on confrontation. Early on Logan (Wolverine) is attacked in his truck along with hitch-hiker Rogue by Magneto's minions but are saved by Cyclops and Storm and are taken to Xavier's school. Charles believes that Wolverine was the target and wants to investigate. However, Magneto will capture his real target eventually intending to use her as a weapon against World leaders. Wolverine, Storm and Cyclops attempt to save Rogue and prevent Magneto's plans.... In the second after an attack on the White House military scientist William Stryker convinces the president to investigate Xavier's Mutant School. Stryker's forces attack the school taking many of the student's prisoner, Colossus leads some to safety while Logan, Rogue, Iceman and Pyro escape. Meanwhile, shape-shifter Mystique helps Magneto to escape from jail. Strangely Magneto who learns of Stryker's intent to kill all Mutants will tell Logan and the team of Stryker's compound, a place that holds memories of the past for Wolverine. The race is on to rescue the captured students and prevent Stryker from achieving his aim. The team will struggle to get away from disaster after achieving their task and only the apparent self-sacrifice by Jean will help them escape the threatened territory. In the third, it emerges that the development of an Inoculation to suppress the X-Gene that give the Mutants their power has been developed, Magneto will gather his forces and more to go to war with the Government. Meanwhile, Scott travels to the lake where the love of his life had died saving her colleagues, however, Jean appears to Scott, but there is something different about her, Charles will have her placed in care and observation at the mansion. Jean unwittingly with extra powers will over-power Charles and indeed link-up with Magneto. The war begins, the government forces are no match against Magneto, Jean and his followers. In the spirit of Charle's memory, the few led by Wolverine will face Magneto in battle. Who will be lost? An action-packed trilogy well worth a second glance on the 4k format if you have access to it. Can Recommend the investment. Footnote - Other movies watched recently include - Mulan (2020) 9/10 (The best 'Live-remake' to date in my opinion) Plus two items reviewed on Blu-ray a while back - Concussion (4k) 9/10 Kong 'Skull Island' (4k) 8/10
