X-Men
It's a rare comic-book movie that doesn't fall over its cape introducing all the characters, and X-Men is the exception, dropping us into a world that is closer to our own than Batman's Gotham City, but is still home to super-powered heroes and villains. Opening in high seriousness with paranormal activity in a World War II concentration camp and a senatorial inquiry into the growing "mutant problem", Bryan Singer's film sets up a complex background with economy and establishes vivid, strange characters well before we get to the fun. There's Halle Berry flying and summoning snowstorms, James Marsden zapping people with his "optic beams," Rebecca Romijn-Stamos shape-shifting her blue naked form, and Ray Park lashing out with his Toad-tongue. The big conflict is between Patrick Stewart's Professor X and Ian McKellen's Magneto, super-powerful mutants who disagree about their relationship with ordinary humans, but the characters we're meant to identify with are Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Anna Paquin's Rogue. There are in-jokes enough to keep comics fans engaged, but it feels more like a science-fiction movie than a superhero picture. --Kim Newman

X2: X-Men United
X2 does a fine job of picking up where X-Men left off, giving fans more of what they liked the first time around. Under the serious-minded custody of returning director Bryan Singer, the second film of this Marvel comics franchise ups the ante on Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and the superhero mutants from the first film, pitting them against a mutant-hating scientist (Brian Cox) who's determined to wipe out the mutant race by tricking Xavier into abusing his telepathic powers. More a series of spectacles than a truly satisfying thriller, X2 introduces new mutant allies while giving each of the X-Men alumni--notably the temporarily helpful Magneto (Ian McKellen)--their own time in the spotlight. Well aware of the parallels between "mutantism" and virulent intolerance in the real world, Singer lends real gravity to the proceedings, injecting dramatic urgency into a continuing franchise that, in lesser hands, might've grown patently absurd. --Jeff Shannon

Okay first things first! This DVD box set is great for the fans of the X-Men movie franchise. You get tons of extras, in addition to the two hit movies! You find over ten hours of behind-the-scenes and trailers to keep you busy!
However if you truly want the complete package, then be wary, as while it's great, you may also want to pick up the first DVD prior to 'X-Men 1.5', as that DVD contains a hidden gag reel, preliminary designs for Beast and the Blob, in addition to the Fox special that was aired for the movie. This is if you need everything from the first movie!
Also however for all buyers, be wary as there is still another movie in the works, with a possibility of an additional three after 'X3', so there will be more DVDs in the future, including possible re-issues of the movies with even more features, so buyer beware.

The movies themselves are great. The problem is the packaging. It's not the regular disc holders. They are like CDs, when you fold up the Set, they get loose and slide around. I had to return it once because Disc 1 and Disc 4 were scratched very badly. I suggest paying the extra 8 bucks to get individual cases or buy two seperate DVD cases to hold them.

I give this movie 5 stars. Only because of the movie.
The movie was awesome and this is a must buy collection.
But, do not order online, because you may have to return it.
The Full screen and widescreen dvds are bundled together with
a highly scratchable plastic notch thin holders, (in the middle).
I purchased this at wal-mart and found my self in the return line
for 45 minutes, while the customer service rep was helping me
switch out non-scratched discs. Remember, that movies are non-refundable and can only be replaced by the same movie.

Lately there have been a great many comic book based films coming out, and reportedly there are many more to come. Unfortunately most of these films are sloppy, rushed, and seem to care more about having flashy special effects than actually putting together a good plot, and a smart directing style. The first X-Men film set the stage for the seriousness that should be taken with a comic based film, X2 is the film that really deliver's on the promise of the first, and stands out as one of the best comic book adaptions (ranking with Tim Burton's Batman, and the Superman films). The inticate plot and multiple story derivations and side stories make it nearly impossible to look away from the screen. The action is upped in this second installment, and a feeling of urgency leaves the viewer on the edge of their seat. To add even further to the intensity of the film, several actors make breakout performances (Hugh Jackman), and some legends of film nail their roles with pin-point accuracy (Ian McKellen). In conclusion, this film has enough plot driven action to please the general movie goer, acting performances that will please us critics out their, and more than ample comic references to keep any X-Men fanatic bouncing for months. The bottom line, If you didn't get a chance to see this in theatre's, dont hesitate to pick it up on DVD. 1.5 makes for a perfect complement to the excellent X2....

Both X-Men and X2 are incredible movies. I would highly reccommend both to anyone who enjoys superhero movies. However, the DVD release once again sets out to oversell to its loyal fans. When X-Men was released, every fan went out and bought it. The release of X-Men 1.5 was rude. It should have been released in the beginning so that fans could have bought the better one, rather being forced to buy 2. Now this 2 pack comes out. It looks great, but when X-3 comes out, what are they going to do a make a 3 pack? They are over marketing to make an extra buck. Movies 5 stars. Marketing 1 star. Overall 3 stars.

I enjoyed the story line. I was not bored for an instant. I thought they did a good job on character development. Many movies portray people as all good or all bad. Here, I saw the "good" people do things I don't like, and the "bad" people doing admirable deeds. Then there were the characters who were afraid, doing what they could to protect their way of life. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Halle Berry were perfect for their roles (as in the first movie). I think the movie makes much more sense if you've seen X-Men 1. In fact, it had been so long since I'd seen the first movie that I should have watched it again first. I highly recommend X-Men United (X2)to anyone who enjoyed X-Men. This is an unusually good sequel.
I thought the visual quality could have been a little clearer. However, the DTS sound blew me away. (I watched a couple scenes in Dolby Digital 5.1. That was also awesome!) There was a chase scene where the sound... but I don't want to spoil it for anyone!
Although X-Men (1.5) is included in this box set, this review is only for the new material, X-Men United (X2). People have a good point when they say that Fox has done us dirty by having so many releases. The price is right on this one though, only a few dollars more than X-Men2 alone. Great price for four discs, I've paid this much for two discs before.
