Product Description

Born into a world filled wih prejudice are children who possess extraordinary and dangerous powers - the result of unique genetic mutaitos. Cyclops unleashes bolts of energy from his eyes. Storm can manipulate the weather at will. Rogue absors the life force of anyone she touches. But under the tutelage of professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) these and other outcasts learn to harness the powers for the good of mankind. Now they must protect those who fear them as the nefarious magneto (Iam McKellen) who believes humans and mutants can nover co-eist, unveils his sinsiter plan for the future! Pulsing with state-of-the-art visual effects and unforgetable characters!

Additional Features

Ten minutes of X-Men deleted scenes (most of them superfluous) are viewable separately or integrated into the complete film, with an onscreen symbol to mark when a deleted scene has been inserted. "The Mutant Watch" is a 23-minute promotional featurette originally broadcast on Fox TV at the time of the film's release, and combines interview clips with a "mockumentary" news profile of Senator Kelly (Bruce Davison) and his campaign to promote "mutant registration." Excerpts from Charlie Rose's interview with director Bryan Singer are worthwhile but too brief: the entire interview should have been included. Hugh Jackman's screen test (with costar Anna Paquin) provides an interesting glimpse of the casting process. The DVD's features are rounded out by a standard variety of production and costume sketches, two computer-generated "animatics" showing the preparation of action sequences, plus TV spots and theatrical trailers. --Jeff Shannon

The second disc contains all the special features, and as far as I can tell, it's an exact copy of the special edition DVD's disc 2, only, for some reason, they placed the features on a Blu-ray. The quality is the same as the DVD version, so they probably should have just left the second disc as the original DVD version, as I don't think the Blu-ray disc added anything.

The movie was very good quality, although the added resolution does make some of the effects less believable, thankfully Bryan Singer likes to use as many practical effects as possible, so this is minimized. It was great watching the first X-men movie at such a high quality for the first time for me. I love this movie.

I knew that the codes for digital copies expire, with a general rule of thumb of one year from the date the disc is released. Amazon lists this product's release date as May 3, 2011, so that was just beyond that window, but figured I'd give it a shot. I already owned the DVD and just wanted to complete my Blu-ray collection, and besides, at the time of my order the Blu-ray only version and this bundle were almost the same price.

So in using the installer for the digital copy, I selected the iTunes version and was greeted with the message, "This application requires iTunes 7.6 or higher". 7.6? Whoa. That version was released in late 2008. I tried redeeming the code directing through iTunes with the DVD inserted as the device, but that resulted in an odd message, "This code is for an offer not yet available. It cannot be used yet."

So one last shot and contacted Fox Connect customer support, but after a few rounds of emails and only getting canned responses back, I gave up.

I gave this product 4/5 stars because it is still a great bundled value. Although it can't compare to today's films such as Avengers, it still holds a valued spot in my collection as one of the early pioneers in the revival of the super hero movie genre.

Update: Thanks C. Holzschuh! I called FOX digital copy @ (866) 520-6606 and they were able to issue me a new code that worked.

Introduced a lot of background very quickly but at a very high level leaving more open-ended possibilities then detail. Very predictable super-heroes save the world story line. Pacing was consistent, the story moved quickly and understandably without ever bogging down for a minute. As a teaser for a franchise it's fine. As a stand-alone story it was an OK one-time watch.

I enjoyed this movie in theaters and recently re-watched it with a new eye. I offer this review to describe how this movie holds up ten years later.
Rogue/Wolverine: I was presently surprised how effective the Rogue and Wolverine characters are. The movie introduction to both of these characters is captivating. Anna Paquin is charming as Rogue but doesn't quite have the Southern voluptousness Rogue usually is drawn to have in the comics. Hugh Jackman is also effective if maybe a little too Hollywood. The comic book Wolverine was much shorter and beastly. Jackman's got the persona down though.
Prof X/Magneto: Professor X and Magneto also have a strong introduction. Ian McKellen plays Magneto perfectly but he doesn't have the physical build that I imagined Magneto would have. I was especially disappointed in Magneto's helmet. It is an amazing aspect of Magneto's costume but here it looks silly. It kinded reminded me of the first Spiderman. That early superhero movie also got the mask totally wrong for the villain green goblin. Patrick Stewart was an obvious choice for the professor so no problems there.
Cyclops/Jean: Cyclops is miscast. The actor who I now recognize from 30 Rock doesn't have the leadership persona or the physique to pull of Cyclops. For this reason Cyclop's confrontations with Wolverine don't carry any weight. No one can believe that this Cyclops can intimidate or hurt Wolverine. His acting is a bit wooden too. Cyclops' headpiece is really large and clumsy. Ten years later its like seeing an old cell phone. Jean is well-cast and well-played. The actress playing her is appropriately beautiful and slightly vulnerable.
Storm/Sabretooth/Toad: Halle Berry is not utilized well as Storm. She doesn't play the character that great anyway.

X-Men is by far a good starting point for comic book turn into movies. Looking back this came out when I was a senior in high school, I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to the action and special effects. I have to admit I was very pleased with what came of the outcome of the actors, special effects and directing. I still have to watch the 2nd and 3rd movie of the X-Men trilogy, but this movie gives me lot of hope for when I do watch those movies later on this week. Plus like most people I bought the movie for Wolverine and I also enjoy Storm. But the other characters added lot to the mix and made the movie even more enjoyable to watch and added benifit got the movie for five dollars roughly from amazon. So if your into comic book movies with loads of special effects, great acting by mutiple good actors and a plotline that you can believe then buy this movie if you don't already have it in your DVD collection because it will be worth the money for the movie.
