DVD shipped when you said and received in good shape. Watched it the same day. Love the X Men movies and plan to get them all (again). This was a replacement of stolen DVD. Thanks good price and fast service.

I would love to review the particular Item, but I never received it from the person I ordered it from, so alas, I can't give you a review. needless to say I will most likely not order from the person I ordered from when I ordered this VHS...

I believe that the first film in the X-Men film franchise was a solid start. As the title says, this is what an X-Men movie should be like. I like how the movie doesn't make the mistake of introducing too many mutants at once, since I don't think that there would've been enough time to flesh everyone out. With that said, I am also very happy that they did not go too in depth with characters. This way, there is more room left to explore character's origins in the future films.
While the action is forgettable, the story still progressed well. Characters developed nicely with highlights including Wolverine and Rouge's friendship and Xavier and Magneto's opposite ideologies for humans and mutants. The setting for the movie revolving around increased tension between humans and mutants was established quite well. All in all, director Bryan Singer did a good job. Original story, dialogue, and music make this movie something that will be cherished by both X-Men fans and newcomers alike.
The movie keeps true to the comic book, but it doesn't come without its tweaks. Certain tweaks were expected, but some tweaks stand out more than others. The complicated and interesting rivalry between Wolverine and Sabretooth is... well... its not really there. Sure the two go at it a couple times in the movie, (and they take a disliking to each other quick), but the dialouge between them is pretty much absent. And Toad... well don't expect that funny, pitiful lackey of Magneto. In this movie he is actually quite dangerous. While these tweaks don't bother me too much, they're just minor examples of some changes made from the original comic book franchise.

Special-effects and terrific 5.1 surround sound are the highlights of this science fiction film. And what highlights they are - tremendous in both categories, at least for 2000 when this film and DVD came out. At the time, they were the best special-effects I had ever seen, but strides are being made so fast in that category that every few years we movie fans are stunned at something new we see. Still, this DVD holds up.
Audio-wise, the rear speakers come into to play as well as any movie I've heard.
As for the story, it is a simple good guys-trying-to-get-the-bad guys fare. It's pure escapist fun made so with tons of sci-fi effects. The characters aren't particularly involving, either the "good" or the "bad." The two leads, played by Hugh Jackman and Anna Paquin, should have had us more interested in them, but didn't. Jackman's "Logan/ Wolverine" always seemed to be pouting and angry. (He got more personality as this series continued.)
For me and most males, Rebecca Romjin-Stamos was a treat for the eyes. Her outfit was something to behold.
If profanity bothers you, the film was very good in that department, too, as there was very little. Obviously, this film was popular enough to spawn multiple sequels. Now that all three "X" films are out in a packaged Blu-Ray box set which, I've heard, looks and sounds fantastic, that's my next step.
