Movie Reviews of X-Men Trilogy (X-Men/ X2 - X-Men United/ X-Men - The Last Stand)Movie Review: Excellent movies, decent package Summary: 4 StarsI'm not particullary a big X-Men fan, anyway I decided to buy this saga 'cuz I enjoyed a lot the third part. But I must say that buying this combo is exactly like buying each movie separately. No extra discs, no nice envelope. Well, it is just fair for people who liked X-Men but not for collectors.
Movie Review: Where are the extras? Summary: 1 StarsX-Men 1.5, The X-Men Collection, and X-Men The Last Stand (Collector's Edition) are all packed with DVD extras. The X-men Trilogy is missing most of "fun" stuff collector's are looking for. If you just want to watch the movies this is a great buy. If you like all that nifty bonus material (ex. Wolverine/Deathstrike Fight Rehearsal an In-Depth Behind-the-Scenes Exploration) stick with other separate releases.
Movie Review: Best if you were not following the comic books Summary: 4 StarsBrett Rattner and Bryan Singer, as directors, have entirely different takes on the mythology of the X-Universe. While watching the first two, Singer takes you on a journey, bending a LOT of rules, but with reverence to get the main idea across. Then you come sliding into third and CRASH! Rattner slams you over the head with over-the-top action, shocking murders, destruction of a kind by the Phoenix never imagined by the comic book. Phoenix was definitely unleashed in the movie, but the action was so jarring, so many different things were going on with the mutant cure, Phoenix's resurrection and subsequent "trance" since all she did was stand around and look forbidding, suspected love triangles with Bobby, Rogue and Kitty that the movie lacked reasonable coherence. If you are an X-fan who loves anything anybody throws at you with no regard for respect, this is the trilogy for you. If you are an X-fan who won't like "just anything" but still love the X-men in any incarnation this is for you. If you are an X-fan who won't like just anything but just likes to pick stuff apart, this is for you. And if you're not an X-fan but like lots of action, this is for you. If only Rattner hadn't blown it! The brightest spot in X-3 was Kelsey Grammar's take on Beast. "Fascinating!" And the first two--HUGH JACKMAN as Wolverine-didn't think he could pull it off but he does. The extras are boring IMO though, since I tend to not care about extras. Ian Mckellan and Patrick Stewart are superb as Magneto and Professor. Action packed, yes.
Movie Review: great movie and cast. Summary: 5 StarsI love these movies and I just wanted to make sure I had the set for future viewing.
Movie Review: X-Men Trilogy pack Summary: 5 StarsThe X-Men are favorites among super heroes for me and this trilogy tells a great story. As a part of my collection, it ranks very high for entertainment value time and time again. As an action film, my favored genre, it's one of the best.
