X-Men Trilogy (X-Men / X2: X-Men United / X-Men: The Last Stand)

X-Men Legacy Lives On

This is the Blu Ray set to get. It has all of the extras that the new Blu Ray version omits. Each movie has it's own case and bonus disc which has making the film featuretts and interviews from X-Men comic writers.The movies are great and are the roots that launched the comic book movie Hollywood takeover. Fun fact Marvel's Kevin Feige was involved in all 3.X1 gets the best Blu Ray upgrade. Being a movie from 2000, it has been cleaned up greatly. X1 is a bit dated however.X2 is the premier movie in this set. Based on the popular God Loves Man Kills story arc this movie is widely considered the best of the original trilogy. Great action, special effects hold up surprisingly well (Nightcrawler's white house attack, so GOOD). Say what you will about Bryan Singer as a writer but when it comes to action scenes and camera position and camera shooting (LOOKIN AT YOU RUSSO BROTHERS WITH YOUR INABILITY TO SHOOT NON CLOSEUPS...) he's gold. In my not so humble opinion X2 ranks just as high as much of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.X3.... Where to begin with this one. It's a maligned movie but I don't know if I'd call it bad per say...Every problem this movie has form their beginning with Fox's piece of crap former head Tom Rothman. This detestable man hates comic book movies. He cut the X1 and X2 budgets and advanced X1s release. Miracle it turned out so well. Greveous of all he chased Bryan Singer away from X3. Singer was working on Superman but Rothman wouldn't wait for him to finish it. Instead he rushed X3 into production to compete with Superman as some type of punishment. It wasn't ready actors were all busy Singer had taken Marsden (Cyclops) with him which is why he was in so little of X3 and also why a certain part in the early movie happened. X3 was set to start shooting and still had no director. Bret Ratner came in last minute to direct. Ratner wanted to adapt The Cure story arc from the comics. While Singer and his producers had been setting up Dark Phoenix in X2. See the problem...We ended up with an okish cure plot but Dark Phoenix set a new definition of butchering source material. The 2 stories just didn't mesh together. One or the other would have been better.That being said I still enjoy X3. It has the best action/powers effects of the original trilogy. It's cool. I like the fights scenes as well. And we can't leave out the awesome bridge scene. The movie has grown on me since it's been written out of current X-Men timeline lore. Knowing that these events are now a 'what if' scenerio make the film more watchable and enjoyable knowing that it no longer screws up the core team (see Days of Future Past). At least to me anyway.

The movies are great fun, a bit preachy at times, but in a controlled relevant way. the X-Men were more or less a morality tale about tolerance from the beginning. So nothing new here. I like the fact it is three standard cases in a slipcover as opposed to slimline cases as when the slip cover goes it ruins the set. The movies look and sound great and there's tons of extras included. A great action series with strong characters and strong performances all around. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan being the standouts among a stellar cast. This is a great way to own the movies at a reasonable price and if they make more movies in the series (aside from the spin-offs) then you can easily take out the discs and place them alongside the new additions. Unfortunately they all include a digital copy disc with codes that are expired. While that isn't a deal breaker for me I know people who love the fact they get the digital copies. I still think movies should all go to ultraviolet or at least make the digital copy a digital download, because once the code expires that disc is useless and simply just takes up too much room). Or the should include a dvd copy with the digital copy on the same disc, as other companies do. Sorry to vent, but the digital copy disc is something they should have done away with as soon as ultraviolet started. It's a waste of materials and for those who forget to read the really fine print on a dvd case it can be really annoying when you try to upload it. Also if you reformat your computer you may lose your authorization to play the movie as well. But, I digress, this is a great series, all of the movies in the series including First Class and the two Wolverine movies are excellent. Very well done. First Class didn't feel like a reboot as much as it was just a prequel. It didn't feel like a cash grab. It felt organic and added more depth to the series. So I'd highly recommend this set for anyone wanting to catch up on the series before the new movie comes out. The price is more than reasonable.

Produit bien arrivé et conforme à la description. Je recommande!

Ich hatte die Filme zwar schon mal, aber die sind irgendwie verschwunden. Die Box lässt sich chronologisch gesehen auch gut einreihen, da die Filme von den Jahrgängen her alle nacheinander spielen. Nicht wie bei den Wolverin Filmen wo einer vor diesen Filem spiel und einer danach.

Nulla da spoilerare sui film, confezione originale e pratica, consegna Amazon perfetta come al solito

Buscava un Blu-ray econòmic per provar una gravadora Pioneer que vaig demanar i vaig comprar aquest pack només pel preu. Em va semblar que per fer proves era un pack ideal, ja que per poc preu hi havien tres discs i havia llegit molts còmics de la Patrulla X com eren coneguts a les edicions de Vértice. He de dir que l'edició és força correcta. La imitació d'un vinil fa que gairebé no ocupi espai (depèn si el pots posar a una estanteria on càpiga, es clar) i la qualitat d'imatge és bona. En quant als idiomes, no ve en espanyol, cosa que tant se me'n fot ja que fa temps que acostumo a veure les sèries i pel·lícules en V.O. amb subtítols en anglès per millorar l'idioma. Tampoc porta gaire extres, però si he de ser sincer, gairebé mai els miro. Qui vulgui veure aquesta recopilació en versió en espanyol millor que triï un altre pack, però si vol veure-ho en versió original crec que és força recomanable.

Excelente paquete con la trilogía original
