Summary: X-Cellent Gift For X-Mas!
Review: sorry about the title, I could not resist. This movie is so boss. All the characters are down perfect, like the comic book. The plot is smart, far smarter than Gladiator or M:I2, etc. Just a great film, experience it on DVD. The DVD doesn't have many X-tras but, it is decent, all about the film. Wolverine is a Canadian hero! And the X-Girls are hot

Summary: Sound STINKS
Review: My husband had seen this movie in the theaters but I missed it. I was eagerly looking forward to watching it on our 5.1 surround system/widescreen digital TV...however, the sound shifts between (and even in the middle of) scenes were so dramatic that I spent the whole movie changing the volume. Our volume was as high as 20 at some points (usually during dialogue), and as low as 8 (during the storm and fight scenes, for example). The sound quality was OK (it is, after all, THX), but the constant volume adjustments left me really irritated and I will not watch this DVD again.

Summary: Loved It!
Review: At first I thought this movie would be a bomb but I was extremely bored so I watched it in a hotel room. I loved it! It had a nice story and stuck to the characters pretty well except for some characters I've rarely of. One villian named Mystique was a beast like mutant who was a shapeshifter and toad was.... a frog. Other then that it was great!

Summary: Caution as a gift for a comic book fan
Review: This is a great movie...however if you are looking to buy this for a comic fanitic be carefull. First off, all die hard comic fans have already seen this movie. The main problem lies in the characters. If you are expecting the marvel x-men with this is not the film for you. The die hard fans that I watched this movie with found many areas where the characters did not jive with the established lititure, but, none of them had any complaints about the rest of the movie. The only reason this did not get five-stars from me is because of the inaccuracy of the characters. On the other hand I was on the edge of my seat through the whole movie. The DVD version is worth the extra couple of bucks simply because of the extra clips. DEFFINATLY ON PAR WITH MI2 AND GONE IN 60 SEC.

Summary: Bad
Review: If you are 12 years old you may like this movie but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone much older. The story is vague to nonexistant and the acting is very simple. If not for the visual effects the movie would probably have never made an impression at all.

Summary: X-Men rocked
Review: I distinctly remember watching the X-Men cartoons growing up, and reading the X-Men comics as well, and all I have to say is that the movie lived up to all my expectations and more. Granted, some of the things couldn't be simulated perfectly in the movie, and some things had to be changed around for that purpose as well, but 99.9% of the time, that's the case with movies nowadays, including Titanic, and it's won several Oscars.

All I have to say is this. I simply can't wait for the sequel, and I certainly hope I get to see Gambit, Beast, and several others in it.

I dont want to tell more things about the movie 'cos if like X-MEN and if you like action movies no way!! You somehow should see it.. What i am gonna say is you must see it on DVD.It is the best DVD i have ever purchased.If you like special features on DVDs just as i do get ready for the visual feast about everything of X-MEN...

Summary: Good Stuff
Review: If you are the type who only watches old Benny Hill videos on your dying VCR, don't buy this movie. However, if you are the type who watches movies to be entertained, and bought your DVD player with "Intent to Enjoy," by all means, whip out your credit card. This movie is good clean fun. Dark (yet not depressing), witty (yet not dopey), sit back and enjoy this ride. To those who think there is too much character development in the beginning, I say "Pshaw, it was durn interesting." Think there was not enough fighting? Geez, just watch the news if that is what you are looking for. And to those who thought that Anna Paquin wasn't so hot, i challenge you to do better. All in all, if you watch movies to be interested in the story and characters while simultaneously being dazzled by special effects, this is for you.

Summary: Listen Closely
Review: My husband is a huge X-Men fan, so when a local video store put the movie out to rent a few days before you could buy it, he snapped it up and brought it home. We had already seen it in the theater, and I thoroughly enjoyed the film itself, but the rental copy was plagued by sound problems which made the bass much louder than the treble and rendered much of the dialogue unintelligible. Be cautious, because other copies with this problem may be out there. The tape that we bought for our own collection, however, has no sound problems, so the defect is apparently not universal.

Summary: The Star Wars of Super Hero films
Review: Without Hugh Jackman; the actor who portrays Wolverine, this film might have fallen flat. The sequel should be called Wolverine. This is what the audience paid to see. The other X-Men; are just window dressing. If a TV series is ever made with the character of Wolvie; it would not have to contain the super-hero material some non-sci-fi fans scoff at. Concentrating on the Logan character; especially his interaction with Rogue,set this one apart from all the other adaptions of comics.
