Summary: Watch the cartoon on tv, not worth buying
Review: Evolution....Its just a lame remake of the original which was the best. Its all too modernized and too kiddy cartoon. Everyting has been modified for the lil kids. I recommend the old 90's xmen. I dont knwo why they dont put out more expisodes on dvd.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this show, and the DVD's great!
Review: Great DVD with some never before seen animation included. I think the DVDs for the first season are supposed to come out some time in September this year. There are only four episodes on the DVD, but I'm used to buying anime (at the most four episodes per DVD, usually fewer), so it seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Summary: High school isn't just normal anymore
Review: Having grown up on the older FOX X-Men cartoon I started watching this series a little taken aback at the idea of changing nearly all the X-Men into teenagers. I found however that Evolution has done a nice job with the whole plot. These episodes were some of the better ones of the series, adding Boom-Boom to the story was a great idea (she is one of the lesser known very overlooked teen characters in the X-Men comic world) and her moments with Nightcrawler were priceless. I was also very happy to be able to find out Wolfsbane (remade to look more human and less wolfish than she has been in the past) was one of the newest members of the evolution team.

Summary: X-Men Rules!
Review: I had watched the original X-men on TV when it played on TV and enjoyed it - but I really wasn't a HUGE fan of X-men until the first movie came out (>dreamy sigh< Wolverine is so cool) and then Evolution came out and I was beyond hooked. I was helpless against it. The new images of the characters as more 'friendly looking' (in my opinion) and the light humor that plays about it more than in the previous show (though it's just as good). But I do agree that the DVD's shoudl have been marketed for the older viewers, though, my three year old little boy calles Wolverine "the cool guy". Anyway, overall it's the best non-anime cartoon I've ever seen!! (best show in my opinion - Inu-Yasha - check it out!) So, get it (both of them) watch it and ENJOY!

Summary: This is a very dumb cartoon.
Review: I liked the 90s X-Men series. This has some of the characters from the comics but it's mostly all a bunch of characters who arn't in the comics. It doesn't have Gambit in it and it doesn't have Jubilee. If you're an X-Men fan don't get this.

Summary: GREAT!!
Review: I loved it but yet im a huge fan of X-Men Evolution. I thought it was good for 4 eps. The thing that makes this really good is that the eps are UNCUT! You finially get to see the scene that started the Kitty & Lance relationship and a few other scenes in Growing Pains. There is a little bit added to Power Surge at the end with Jean losing control. Also a little bit from Bada Bing, Bada Boom. So i thought it was worth it just to see those scenes

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: X-Men Evolution : The Greatest X-Men series
Review: I recently became a big fan of X-Men from the movie and when Evolution started i thought it was better than the film.I have been a collector of the figures for nearly a year and find some of the reviews on this DVD rubbish.

Episode 1: Growing Pains, this episode is where the Brotherhood try to reveal the identities of the X-Men at the soccer tournament.

Episode 2: Power Surge, this is one of the main stages in Jean's life. Her powers increase rapidly and she can't hold them so the X-Men are left to save the day and a fellow student's future.

Episode 3: Bad-a-bing Bada-Boom:
Another good story line featuring a new recruit's father who attempts to steal the carnival money.Surprisingly stopped by the brotherhood who want Boom-Boom as a new member.

Episode 4:Fun& Games Mystique returns luring the proffessro out to repair Juggernaut's prison and encourages the X-Men to hold a party giving her and a computer geek access to cerebro whilst she escape's with some mutant data on DVD.

Episode 4 being the best as the whole action extravaganza except for the cliff hanger ending.What will Mystique do to Boom-Boom when she finds her living in her room.This DVD has extra's such as detail's of X-Men and the brotherhood.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best cartoon series on the planet!
Review: I think Warner Bros. made a huge mistake by marketing this for little kids instead of to more mature X-Men fans. There isn't many cool extras, and the background stories X-Men Evolution producer Boyd Kirkland gives, last only about 20 seconds each episode. I would have loved to seen more stuff. Still, it was so great to see the awesome and vibrant colors of X-Men Evolution on DVD, I'll forgive them. One of the big selling points to this DVD is the footage that was cut out of the television broadcasts by the WBKids censors. Growing Pains, Power Surge, and Bada-bing bada-boom, all get restored to their original condition. It is really hard to imagine why they would cut any of this out in the first place, but it did make the episodes more exciting for the DVD. One particular new scene made me see the Lance and Kitty romance in a whole new way. I hope the Evolution guys use this avenue as a way to get around censoring in the future. Just put it all on the DVD. Now I only hope they put the rest of the series on DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: could've been better
Review: includes the first four eps of season 2:

ep 201 growing pains -- season opener, first appearance of the younger class (jubilee, cannonball, etc.), avalanche exposes the mutants to the school, but the professor wipes their minds
ep 202 badda bing badda boom -- boom boom's father forces her to steal money
ep 203 power surge -- jean grey's powers threaten to overwhelm her
ep 204 fun and games -- the x-men throw a party while the professor is away, but a student named arcade accidentally stumbles into the danger room

extras inc: language features, episode intros by the director frank paur, and a few other things that i haven't checked yet, prob. just bios on the characters. all in all sort of disappointing, since the rest of the episodes from season 1 haven't been put out and the first 4 eps of season 2 were def. not the best of the season. still, it's better than nothing.
