X-Men
It's a rare comic-book movie that doesn't fall over its cape introducing all the characters, and X-Men is the exception, dropping us into a world that is closer to our own than Batman's Gotham City, but is still home to super-powered heroes and villains. Opening in high seriousness with paranormal activity in a World War II concentration camp and a senatorial inquiry into the growing "mutant problem", Bryan Singer's film sets up a complex background with economy and establishes vivid, strange characters well before we get to the fun. There's Halle Berry flying and summoning snowstorms, James Marsden zapping people with his "optic beams," Rebecca Romijn-Stamos shape-shifting her blue naked form, and Ray Park lashing out with his Toad-tongue. The big conflict is between Patrick Stewart's Professor X and Ian McKellen's Magneto, super-powerful mutants who disagree about their relationship with ordinary humans, but the characters we're meant to identify with are Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Anna Paquin's Rogue. There are in-jokes enough to keep comics fans engaged, but it feels more like a science-fiction movie than a superhero picture. --Kim Newman
X2: X-Men United
X2 does a fine job of picking up where X-Men left off, giving fans more of what they liked the first time around. Under the serious-minded custody of returning director Bryan Singer, the second film of this Marvel comics franchise ups the ante on Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and the superhero mutants from the first film, pitting them against a mutant-hating scientist (Brian Cox) who's determined to wipe out the mutant race by tricking Xavier into abusing his telepathic powers. More a series of spectacles than a truly satisfying thriller, X2 introduces new mutant allies while giving each of the X-Men alumni--notably the temporarily helpful Magneto (Ian McKellen)--their own time in the spotlight. Well aware of the parallels between "mutantism" and virulent intolerance in the real world, Singer lends real gravity to the proceedings, injecting dramatic urgency into a continuing franchise that, in lesser hands, might've grown patently absurd. --Jeff Shannon

Again, I'll say it's not easy to make a movie about super heroes, especially popular heroes that have been around for 40+ years.
It's a challenge to make a movie that appeals to people like myself, who were around to see the beginnings of Marvel and the X-Men in the 1960's, in addition to other generations who've followed the characters in the decades since. And then it's not so easy to appeal to those who've never heard of Marvel or the X-Men.
I did a little research, and ... Read More

Not only do you get the wonderful movies, you get a bonus disc for each. Each movie is worth it alone, but the bimus disc adds more. I love this and if you can get your hands on it, you'll love this just as much as me.
Definite Must Have.

The xmen collection 4 disc boxed set was by far the smartest purchase I've ever made. It's absolutely fantastic. Packed with great interviews of all the actors,and behind the scene footage of the making of the movies. Seeing how the special effects were conceived was facinating. This boxed set was worth every penny and I recommend it to anyone who is an xmen fan.

Two well made films that stay fairly true to the comics. I actually found the 2nd movie to be better than the first. If you didn't grow up reading the comics, there may be more mutants than you can handle in these two movies. The story is pretty simple, mutants are at best mistrusted by humans. Some like Professer X want to find a way to live peacefully, while others like Magneto want to eliminate homo sapiens altogether. For 30 dollars this is a good value with tons of extras. These are fun popcorn ... Read More

When I first saw the first X-Men movie I was highly impressed by the special effects, but the plot nearly bored me to tears. But I can't say that about X2: X-men United.
In this outing, there are several good plots here, all of them leading to spectacular action scenes. Chief among these is William Stryker's (an advisor to the president) is his plan to kill off all of the mutants: first by initiating an attempt on the president's life that is more than it seems at first, then using knowledge ...
