Love My X-Men
I have all of the X-Men Blu-rays this particular 4K is beautifully stunning In Picture quality. The movie comes with a Blu-ray disc with special features on it and the movie itself the 4K. A great storyline I enjoy it very much I have seen this one twice so far I may watch it again tonight after I do this review.
What can I say? X-Men: First-Class (2011) IS my favorite of all the X-Men movies! X-Men: First Class 2011 has the best most consistent cinematography! And the best storyline!
Mind you, I "liked" seeing the very first three (3) X-Men movies of the Yr. 2000, 2003, and 2006. But they all seemed a little "schlocky" to me. And they STILL do! The script-writing in the three early X-Men films, while not bad nor atrocious, left a little something more to be desired in order to be remembered! -- which is the basis for most my DVD purchases. One must want to really see a movie again! And maybe again and again and again!
I liked the three (3) very early X-Men Films because they introduced the characters for the first time (and their respective powers),... but their stories were nothing like the 2011 X-Men: First Class, which is the Origin Story of BEFORE Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr Became Professor X and Magneto! In 2011, Jennifer Lawrence is getting better and better with each film she acts in. And -- excellent performance actor, "bad-guy" Kevin Bacon, --rounds out the "non-schlocky" cast of heavyweight actors, Rose Byrne and Oliver Platt in the perfect gravitas- X-Men-film of 2011!
[Note: X-Men:Days of Future Past(2014) with Patrick Stewart has TOO much gravitas! and poor lighting/ poor camera work in too many scenes!]
[AND, X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) is a little bit too scatter-shot in it's cinematographic overall effect!]
The only 5-Star X-Men films after 2011 that I really like as much as X-Men: First Class (2011), is X-Men: DARK PHOENIX (2019), the Jean Gray Origin film!
NOT 2014's Days Of Future Past.
NOT 2016's X-Men:Apocalypse.
NOT any of the other origin films of Wolverine, Logan Origin films, nor the highly entertaining comedic Deadpool films.
ALL these latter post-2011 films ALL have their memorable moments, pleasures and charms, but X-Men: DARK PHOENIX (the Jean Gray Origin film) is the only one I have chosen to see four (4X) in theatres! ALL the other films are well-done to varying degrees, but none have that specially good riveting quality of needing and wanting to see it again and again -- as do X-Men: First Class and Dark Phoenix. For sure, sometimes the script and cinematography in these other X-Men films are just not as good -- as in X-Men: APOCALYPSE (which is my 3rd Runner-Up Choice of DVD to purchase)!
Other times that particular X-Men film script is just plain not as good or JUST PLAIN LOUSY!
There, that's what I can say! I'll give these other X-men movies from 1 Star to 3.5 Stars. But only these two -- X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Dark Phoenix get 5.0+ Stars from me!

More 4k from Marvel!
I collect Marvel so I had to get this in 4k. Its fun watching these old flicks with improved image quality and HDR, This is a no brainer if you like marvel, if your new to the XMen series they're great. If you like comics you'll enjoy this
