4.0 out of 5 stars Steelbook Review of the X-Men 1.5 2-Disc Set, June 27, 2007

This review is from: X-Men (Collector's Edition Steelbook) (DVD)

I bought this Steelbook Edition of this rare 1.5 version of X-Men at Best Buy where I believe was an exclusive. Just recently, I watched the DVD for the first time (I haven't seen any X-Men movies at this time). The movie in itself is a great film that will surely entertain everyone; including those who are not typically Sci-Fi fans such as myself. The movie left me very much looking forward to seeing the other two movies, but only after watching this one AGAIN first.

Three of us watched this film and we watched it in the enhanced mode where "deleted scenes" and "behind the scenes looks" were cut into the picture. I was expecting the scenes to just be added in clearly and cleanly like they were for Spider-Man 2.1, however they were not. The deleted scenes were located on another part of the DVD causing brupt pauses before and after each scene came on. With two discs, one would think they would have put the two versions of the movie in this collection in SEPERATE spaces for continuous playback with either version. However, they did not. (Note the regular version of the movie is continuous and uninterupted.) In the enhanced mode, there are "X"s and "/"s that appear on your screen when either a "deleted scene" or a "behind the scenese look" comes up during the movie. For this reason, my rating of the movie gets a 4 out of 5 stars.

This Steelbook Edition, along with the other nine Steelbooks that recently came out in June of 2007, is a reprint of the 2-Disc previously released edition of X-Men 1.5. There's nothing new about it, but it gives those who missed out on the opportunity to get the 1.5 version a second chance. Even with the pausing and cues that occur in the enhanced viewing mode of the extended version, the same format was copied from the first release; which was done before Spider-Man 2.1 came out (which may explain the better viewing of Spidey).

X-Men, as I said before, was a very good movie. I highly recommend this Steelbook to anyone who's a fan of X-Men. The bonus features are plentiful and will give fans even more enjoyment of this great film in a highly preservable packaging. I understand this is a rare and limited Steelbook, but if you can get it, I'm sure you'll be satisfied.
