I really love action movies and especially 1s that have people with "powers"!!This is a set to own and the 4th,late in coming,wish they could have made it the 1st,instead of the 4th..
I still enjoyed it just the same and hope for another to come out soon!!

I purchased this X-men Trilogy Blu-ray set on amazon.com and the 1st X-men movie plays fine and the 3rd X-men plays fine...the 2nd X-men movie however freezes at this one scene then when I try to skip that particular scene the sound stops and the can't get it to play. I ordered a replacement from amazon.com 2 days later the replacement set came in...and I'm still having the same problem with the 2nd X-men movie, it just freezes at the same scene. I haven't even tried watching all the extra discs either, I'd hate to see how any of those freeze. I know there's a possibility of a "bad batch" sold but I don't know how many times I will have to replace them until I find a set that I will actually enjoy to watch without the headache...for the price of blu-rays I expect the quality to be great as well as the actual product itself to be great.
One movie shy of perfection September 22, 2009

When it comes down to comic book movies, it's kind of strange that so far, the best has always been the first 2. Batman, Spider-Man and now the X-Men have had stellar movie and sequel only to have the third not be made as in Batman's case or the third being very underwhelming as in the case of X-Men and Spider-Man 3. Strangely enough, as with the case of Spider-Man 3, X-Men: The Last Stand had potential a really solid entry considering the storyline chosen. Spidey finally got to tangle with the Symbiote and Venom whereas X-Men 3 brought in the Dark Phoenix Saga, one of the best comic arcs ever so where'd it go wrong? Well even though it might be unfair to say this but it can largely be centered directly on Brett Ratner. Ratner is....how shall I put it, a serviceable hack, someone who can deliver entertainment but nothing more and that's kind of what separates him from the other better action directors, especially in the arena of comic book movies. At least Christopher Nolan and Bryan Singer brought in some food-for-thought notions as well as summer fun, Ratner seems purely interested in the fun and only barely skims on more weighty topics. Which makes this trilogy set not necessarily disappointing but lacking the grand finale it needs.
Bryan Singer, best known at the time for directing the Usual Suspects was hired to direct the live-action adaptation of the popular "X-Men" comic and many at the time were thinking "this better not be terrible". Imagine most people's surprise when it wasn't as it was actually good and not good in that wasn't-that-terrible way but it was legitimately fun. Casting worked, effect worked...mostly (that spin around the torch looks phenomenally fake as far as the character model) and that "line" by Storm is still cringe-worthy. But with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Patrick Stewart as Professor X, the casting was quite spot-on and the fight scenes and set pieces are still quite dynamic. Not completely flawless but start of a successful franchise.
With "X2", Singer returns and in a way nearly makes a perfect comic book movie with only slight complaint I have is a small pacing issue. The characters open up, people get more comfortable in the roles and some new ones are interested, most notable being Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming) who participates in probably the coolest opening sequence in awhile. Also new is ones such as Pyro and the supremely hot Lady Deathstrike (Kelly Hu) but it also adds more to the mythology and bringing in characters and storylines from the comics. Colossus makes a brief appearance, as does the 2nd of 3 Kitty Pryde's and you got the making of an even better comic book movie.
In a strange role reversal, Ratner was supposed to do the next Superman while Singer was going to do X-Men 3 but then because of other commitments/troubles, they switched places and not to say Singer did a bad job with "Superman Returns" but the more mature and not as "fluffy" storytelling for a comic book movie probably turned people off but with X-Men 3, the movie did offer a lot more big-budget entertainment yet critically wasn't that well-received and really it's one of those movies that's not quite love-it-or-hate-it but rather a "I don't want to hate it but I can't love it" one as the action and events feel a bit more intense, the Dark Phoenix storyline is here (though it takes a backseat to the "Mutant Cure" one) and several characters make appearances and even expansions such as more screentime for Colossus and Kitty Pryde. But then again, the dialogue is a bit more awful, the handling of one character's death is a misstep with an understatement and the movie deals with the topic of mutant curing and what that can mean to a population and yet it's only surface level. So that's kind of the problem, Singer brought entertainment and brain food, Ratner just brought the popcorn.
With the release of the recent X-Men Origins (which again suffered from a lack of direction), we have this trilogy set that isn't as flawless as the original Star Wars or Lord of the Rings but rather like Spider-Man, a good first movie, an excellent second and a tolerable third.
Very happy July 10, 2009

Got this for my son who LOVES wolverine! Alwasy trying to pretend he's him. And we actually play this on the Blu-Ray player & it's great. Great flicks! So happy it came in a set - much easier than getting each separately!
