Movie Reviews of X-Men - The Phoenix Saga
Movie Review: Magnificent X-men
Summary: 5 Stars
X-men the Animated Series, overall, and this storyline, The Phoenix Saga, in particular, is magnificent! But why are they teasing us? Why won't they (whoever they are) simply put out the entire X-men Animated Series box set? The recent success of the live action X-men movies should prompt the powers that be into doing just that.
A scattered sale of X-men Animated Series episodes here and there is a bitter sweet happening indeed. This series and this particular DVD, The Phoenix Saga, is nothing short of magnificent...and this opinion is coming from an over 50 true blue X-men fan who has the entire X-men comic collection from number one on.
Any X-men purist, like me, will enjoy the X-men Animated Series, especially The Phoenix Saga. Unlike all other X-men interpretations, including the movies with its disappointing version of the Phoenix Saga, and the kiddy-level joke called X-men Evolution....the X-men Animated Series from the early 90s is about 90% true to the actual story lines from the comics, and about 99% true to the characters. (The most glaring fault is the ridiculous misrepresentation of the Angel, who, in the comics, anyway, LOVED his wings...who wouldn't?)
And the art, although inconsistent, approaches Disney at its best.
Rest assured, however, the Phoenix Saga art is among the top animation of the series, along with the Dark Phoenix Saga. Simply beautiful animation, and MUST SEE material if you are anything close to being an X-men fan.
