Format:Blu-ray
In the future there is a race of humanoids born whom later when reaching maturehood develop powers and even bizarre appearences on some as they are mutants. However the human race misunderstands them and kind of treats them unfairly, so a powerful good mutant named Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) have formed a school for the gift where young mutants can control their powers and help the benifit of all mankind. However there are some terrorist mutants lead by Magneto (Ian McKellen) who are hellbent on trying to destroy the human race so that mutants can rule over mankind, a runaway mutant girl named Rogue (Anna Paquin) who has the power to absorb lifeforces and energy from other beings including mutants temporarily of course as she runs away from home. She meets up with a Canadian mutant named Wolverine (a.k.a. Logan) (Huge Jackman) but after being attacked by a savage brute named Sabretooth (Tyler Mane) they get rescued by a team of mutants named The X-Men lead by Cyclops (James Marsden), Storm (Halle Berry) and Jean Grey (Famnke Janssen) where they live in Professor X's school for the gifted to help mankind from the bad mutants such as Magneto's minions like Toad (Ray Park) and Mystique (Rebecca Romijin Stamos) who are planning on mutating the whole human race.
An excellent adaptation of the popular comic books from Marvel that started a different trend on superheroes created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Bryan Singer who did the excellent "Usual Suspects" was born to do these movies except for the third as he really took the comics metaphor on discrimination of different people well to the big screen after years of development hell even with Carolco originally wanting the rights but Fox came to save it. The acting is quite excellent including the action sequences as i love how this Sci-fi movie plays as a movie about racism in the future and how to try to be accepted by mankind. I love how this movie introduces audiences to a different cinematic superhero then Batman or Superman back in 2000 who is Wolverine making him the best superhero ever! it was followed by an equally awesome yet even better sequel.
This 2-Disc Blu-Ray set offers the movie in a glorious picture and sound quality experience that would rocket the viewer to the roof. The extras are fantastic like audio commentary, behind the scenes footage, Deleted and Extended Scenes with optional commentary, Mutant Watch featurette that appeared on FOX TV, Charlie Rose interview with Bryan Singer, Still galleries, animatics, Intro by Bryan Singer, Five-part interactive documentary, Trailers, TV spots and internet interstitials.

X-Men was one of the first DVDs I bought after getting a TV that had component video in. I remember being impressed with how sharp it was and how warm the colors were at times. The title sequence also seemed to nearly pop off the screen. It only seemed appropriate that one of the first BDs that i picked up after getting a PS3 and a HDTV also be X Men.
I haven't even looked at the extra features disc yet; I just like watching this movie in HD. It looks great, the details are better, and it has a DTS TrueHD soundtrack. There are some movies that actually look a bit worse in HD because the effects are done somewhat sloppily and the finer detail in the image just calls attention to their phoniness. I haven't notices that in X Men. It's a very tightly made movie in almost every respect, though I'll admit a soft spot for origin stories.
there is some visible film grain, but I assume that that's because of, well, the film. Though I honestly don't know if it's true film grain or if it was added in post (sometimes they do that), but it's rarely, if ever, distracting. I actually kind of like real film grain, so that's not a mark against it-- I have heard people complain about it, though, so there it is.
Basically, the film is really good for what it is and this is a good disc.

I was looking to fill up my Blu-Ray collection a bit, and ran across this movie during the Christmas sales this year. I got it for five bucks, and that price, how can you go wrong? =)
That said, this is what's considered X-Men 1.5. It has some extra features on a second Blu-Ray disc included; so if you don't already own X-Men, this is the copy you want to purchase. If you have the original version, then this may still be worth it if you're going to Blu-Ray. If you have it in Blu-Ray without the extras, might not be worth it.
Image quality is great, sound quality is great, everything is great really. =) I've already watched it a few times, and I'm sure it'll stay in regular rotation.

meh. Don't know much about X-men, and this didn't really enlighten or addict me. Decent action movie I guess. Good acting.

Great movie
I felt that this X-Men was the best of the bunch. Hard to beat the first of any movie that it. Sequels always seem to fail however the sequels to this series were just as good.

Do you know what happens when an X-Men movie is transferred to bluray?
The bluray edition of X-MEN is pretty much a HD quality version of the special edition DVD that also contains the mutant watch featurette from the original DVD copy. Read more
