X-Men [2 Discs] [Blu-ray] [2000]

Great superhero movie with some awesome classic characters

It's the first X-Men movie. While it's one of the first to start the whole 'cinematic universe' it still holds up with some of the newer movies. This is also the first appearance of Hugh Jackman as Logan, aka Wolverine. The Blu Ray quality is definitely noticeable here compared to a DVD, considering this movie is from 2000. The Steelbook is pretty awesome. My only gripe with this movie is that it has a regular Blu Ray disc from the standard Blu Ray packaging, it says Disc 1 instead of having a dedicated disc art.

This is a great starting point for the xmen in movie form. Saw this when it first premier back in theaters on opening night, loved it then and love it now. I wasn't too fond of a few thing they changed from comic to movie but didn't interfere with me enjoying the movie. Over the course of all the xmen movies I feel Xavier and Cyclops should have been more of the leaders of the movies and not so much focus on Logan, even though Logan is my all time favorite xmen. I love the This Movie and it's sequel X2, Xmen last stand.............. I liked but hate some of the decisions and direction they took. Hopefully days of future past changes the timeline and makes Xmen Last Stand disappear. Lol

These X Men steel books look great. The front, back and inside artwork are nice. I wish the digital copies could be redeemed for iTunes but thats not Best Buy's fault. The discs are the same ones from the normal blu ray releases so this really is just about the packaging. The steelbook has a nice mate finish. And these steelbooks are pretty cheap so overall I would definitely recommend if you're an x Men fan or a steelbook collector.

from Amazon.com: Born into a world filled with prejudice are children who possess extraordinary and dangerous powers - the result of unique genetic mutations. Cyclops unleashes bolts of energy from his eyes. Storm can manipulate the weather at will. Rogue absorbs the life force of anyone she touches. But under the tutelage of Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart), these and other outcasts learn to harness their powers for the good of mankind. Now they must protect those who fear them as the nefarious Magneto (Ian McKellen), who believes humans and mutants can never co-exist, unveils his sinsiter plan for the future!

"X-Men" is one of the greatest comic book movie adaptations out there. In my opinion it made people think that comic book movies can be taken more seriously. Some may disagree and say the 1989 "Batman" movie had started that, but I believe that "Batman" just showed that comic book movies can be dark. So Again "X-Men" is one of the best comic book movies, so if you're a fan of comics especially the X-Men comics you'll love this movie.

This is a great looking steelbook that showcases what is far and away the best version of Mystique in the X-Men movies. I haven't been a fan of Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal since the beginning, I think it's her worst trio of performances and they aren't doing the character justice at all. I keep watching them to see if they fix their mistake, but I think Lawrence has become too big of an actress for them to do the character right now. The first Mystique is great and Rebecca Romijn plays her surprisingly well.

Great movie for the whole family in my opinion. It's the movie that started the franchise so it's a must if you want to collect them all like I did. This was actually the last one in my collection because they show it on tv so much I didn't see the point (dvr) but I am weird like that. Has all the characters you think of when you hear x-men, plot was ok I think they should have stretched out the franchise to be honest (at least the first 3) enough with the wolverine you know. He is awesome don't get me wrong. But great action, good use of cgi and great casting in my opinion.
