Summary: Great dvd, but it's too late
Review: If you like X-men enough to think about buying this dvd, then you probable already bought the original dvd release.
It's a shame that FOX is trying to milk Xmen so much...

Summary: I guess you have to be a comic book fan
Review: This movie was just OK. The special effects were excellent but that's all. The acting with the exception of Patrick Stewart was average. The plot was true to the comic book genre, in that it was simple and predictable. I hate to think that the future of movies lies simply in special effects created for the DVD audience and that the moviemakers forget that movies need believable plots and good acting to truly make a great movie.

Summary: X-Men Comic Fans, a Must Have.
Review: The X-Men is loaded with action and great special effects. All comic book fans should be delighted to see what a great job was done to the comic. The character of Wolverine and Saber-tooth alone are menacing and powerfully portrayed. Remembering that film makers always take liberties, the motion picture was brought off with flair and style. Very enjoyable, a must have DVD.

Summary: You need this DVD

Summary: Dont Cry! if you own the previous DVD
Review: Xmen 1.5 will be an AWESOME set,
you dont have to throw away the previous Xmen dvd after you buy this one, you know why?
It has DIFFERENT features than the 1.5 set, this new 1.5 set will not include the Charlie Rose interviews or the FOX mutant watch special, So you can keep BOTH & take your Xmen collection to the max,
"SO COOL"

Summary: .."Does it hurt"?..."Everytime.."
Review: I gotta tell you I read Marvel Comics all thru the 60s-70s-80s and I always thought X-Men was the worst. So it stands to reason that they would make the best Marvel movie ( ..and that includes "Spider-Man")The opening origin of Magento in Nazi Germany is heart-breaking and the movie hooks you right there and never lets go. And while the whole cast is fine,Hugh Jackman was the find of the year...He is Wolverine! Tough,sad,self-involved yet willing to sacrifice himself for others ,he rises above the already good script to create a movie hero that ranks with Tyrone Powers's Zorro,Erroll Flynn's Robin Hood & Michael Keaton's Batman. He is dead on ( actully,Wolverine isn't this interesting in the comics..sorry ,fan-boys..)Top notch special effects and Patrick Stewart's Prof X make this a movie worth owning. I can't wait for the sequel...........

Summary: Strays a little from original Stan Lee series, but 5 stars!
Review: X-MEN was great no doubt about it. This movie is what a lot of us had been waiting for years, a movie based on a Marvel series that wasn't terrible (IE: remember Dolph Lundgren in that awful PUNISHER movie? And let's not forget any of the made for TV Marvel movies that also did no justice to the great Marvel name).Now for any of you older X-MEN fans that have some of the original comics, X-MEN the movie does stray away from the original series because in the original series, the first X-Men were Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel and Ice Man (when they made Ice Man like a snow man). This one went with the most notable X-Men, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm and Rogue. That and another thing that might bother older fans is how Rogue is introduced as a 16 year old girl when in the original series, she is introduced as an enemy to the X-Men after stealing the powers of Ms. Marvel. One last thing that absolutely bothered me was that Sabretooth wasn't the 8' tall, buff as hell, ominous monster that he is in the comics. Personally, he looked like a regular guy who snarled and had bad nails. Don't get me wrong, X-MEN the movie is otherwise nearly flawless and very entertaining and very cool. I'd suggest this movie to anyone, whether Sci Fi fans, X-Men fans or Action movie fans. It's definitely worth your money! Another thing I would suggest (especially if you're a Marvel fan) is SPIDERMAN. Another impressive remake of the very popular marquee Marvel series. It's as visually striking as it is to watch. These are noth 2 great additions to anyone's DVD library!

Summary: thrilling movie
Review: when i first saw this movie, i thought i would hate it. i never liked x-men before, and i am skeptical about superhero movies. from the first scene, however, was hooked. it has plenty of action, and it is a classic villian movie. like gandalf and saruman of LOTR, the leaders on both sides are good friends. I dont want to give away to much of the movie, so go see it for yourself!

Summary: X-CELLENT!
Review: It's the future, and an evil genius named Magneto controls the fate of mankind. The only ones standing in his way are the X-MEN, a superhuman group of wayward transexuals in black spandex catsuits who rail against the messengers of doom and injustice. A rollercoaster ride from start to finish, X-MEN is the perfect panacea for a world ripe with bigotry and intolerance. A must-see.
