This is a bundle of five X-Men movies. Please note that this is not a box set, it is just the five movies sold together each movie comes in its own separate blu-ray case. Video/audio quality varies by disc, but is generally excellent; these discs also include a variety of special features that take you behind the scenes of the making of the movies.The X-Men movies hold and important place in film history; the first film in the series is often credited as the film that launched the golden age of comic book superheroes on film. Both the original X-Men and it's sequel, X2: X-Men United, are well regarded among audiences. The final film in the trilogy, X-Men: The Last Stand, is not nearly as good as its predecessors but it's still a fun movie with great action sequences.
Also included in the bundle is the spin-off titled X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which looks at the early days of Logan (perhaps the most popular character in the franchise). And finally, X-Men: First Class is a prequel which examines the history between Professor Charles Xavier and his friend (turned adversary) Magneto.
My own opinion is that the X-Men films are not quite on the level of Nolan's Batman trilogy or Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. However, these movies are very entertaining, and there are interesting themes related to society's acceptance/rejection of the mutants that parallel our own problems. In terms of technical achievement, I would single out the costume design and the makeup work as top-notch.
If you've never seen the X-Men films, or if you're a fan but have yet to buy them, then this Complete Collection on blu-ray is the perfect set for you and comes highly recommended.
Here are the links to the individual releases:
X-Men [Blu-ray]
X2: X-Men United [Blu-ray]
X-Men The Last Stand [Blu-ray]
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Two-Disc Ultimate Edition) [Blu-ray]
X-Men: First Class (+ Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]
(Amazon's prices constantly change, and in some cases it may actually be cheaper to buy the titles individually)
These Blue-ray disks has great a picture & sound. How good the movie is I leave up to each person. However, I do have a WARNING for everyone.
I just discovered that some of the "Region A or 1" Blue-ray disks that I bought on "Amazon" will not play in my "Region Free" player. But they play just fine in "Region A or 1" player.
Most of the disks that will not play in my "Region Free" player will display a "Fox" back ground with a message that reads [This disc has been coded for Region A only and will not play in this machine. Please eject this disc and play on a Region A player.] on the screen after you insert the disk. The others that will not play in "Region Free" player have different backgrounds with a similar massage.
*****Four of these five Blue-ray disks happen to have this problem!
Only "X-Men Origins: Wolverine would play in both players.
Since I have one of each this is not a problem for me, but I thought it would be useful to know for those who might only have a "Region Free" player.I just bought the X-Men Trilogy boxed set, X-Men First Class, and X-Men Origins Wolverine on Blu Ray individually and it only cost $55.47. You're paying $12 extra for this set, and it doesn't even come with a nice box for the main trilogy.These movies are very very good. I got them a very good price. So much better in HD. I have watched them several times. I highly recommend buying this on Blu-ray you can't go wrong.Love the Blueray disks for HD quality and clarity. Could there be any more X-Men/Women in the near future? Hope so.......
