"X-Men Trilogy" ports over all the extras for all three films from DVD. Almost all of them are presented in standard definition. The only things I haven't been able to find just yet are the Easter Eggs from the previously issued versions on DVD. The third one does have some new extras on a second disc and also ports over the previously released extras. All three films have two commentary tracks that were on the original DVDs. I suspect that the high def transfer used for the box set two years ago were probably used here as well.
The first two films are the best of the lot--it's a pity that Bryan Singer chose to do "Superman Returns" rather than "X-Men: The Last Stand" (or whatever his version of the early script was called)while Brett Ratner does a fine job with the material he's given, Singer had an innate sense of what worked best for the X-Men saga.
All three films look from very good to exceptional and have a natural film look to them. Nice detail, a sharp looking presentation and a strong color scheme are highlights for all three with the last of the three looking the best of the bunch. That's not to suggest that the first two look less than optimal--they look terrific.
Audio sounds terrific with strong 5.1 DTS lossless presentations that nicely capture the original theatrical presentations of the film.
All three films come with digital copies of the movies as well (something I don't have much use for but others might). Early editions of this also have a digital ticket that can be used for "Wolverine: X-Men Origins", "Ice Age 3" and "A Night At The Museum 2" you'll need to go on line and print up the actual ticket however. This is a very nice set.
You can also access an exclusive sneak peak of "Wolverine: X-Men Origins" using the Blu-ray Live special feature.
"X-Men"-4 stars for the movie, 3 stars for the SD DVD extras
"X-Men: United" 5 stars for the movie for the SD DVD extras
"X-Men: The Last Stand" 3 stars for the movie, 4 stars for the high def and 3 stars for the SD DVD extras.
Now this is the way Blu Ray sets should be done,this X-Men Blu Ray set is loaded and should satisfy X-Men fans,this is an obvious tie in with the upcoming Wolverine movie,dont be suprised if another Blu Ray set w/ the Wolverine film included will be available by holiday time though! This IS a great Trilogy!!!
Finally the X-Men moves made their transfer to hi-def and they look great. Nothing like seeing Wolverine go crazy on some baddies. The first of the films has the lowest ratio at 2.35:1 and looks a little less crisp than the other 2 films but still has good color and the black levels look great.
For those complaining that Fox is double dipping because they already released the 3rd film on Blu-ray. Well your in luck. You can buy the other discs separately. The new copy of the last stand is an even better transfer visually then the first version. So for those HD lovers out there it looks better.
If you already own the Last Stand on blu-ray this box set is still worth the price as it also includes digital copies of all 3 films.
Make mine Marvel
I was waiting for this for long time.I have all the parts on DVD but i will get this trilogy and watch it again.If you like SF movies you got to have this one.Nice work again.Can wait to have this on my colection
The rating is for the shoddy way the release is handled. I give the films 4-5 stars!
Ok, I love the looks of this set but since I already own the last X-Men flick on blu-ray, give me a reason to purchase the box set over buying the other films separately saving me about $10 bucks. Are there enough extras on this box set to warrant a purchase consisting of a disc I already own?
FOX is horrible about double dipping. Star Wars comes to mind!! For those of us fervent movie lovers, how about putting out a really great all inclusive box set so we can buy it once! Then for those happy with the bare bones film put it out as a single dvd! It's bad enough that our loyalty is abused by dropping the price 6 months later to half of what we paid for it. If we didn't support the releases of these films at the initial sales date, it is doubtfull the studios would make the effort to release them at all!!! FOX should offer a rebate for those who purchased the previous version included in the new box set!! By the way, FOX is doing the same with the Mary Tyler Moore series. Those of us who bought the first 4 seasons are now going to have to buy the whole series box set to complete our collection!
