Advantages: Great films great action sequences Disadvantages: a few of the cartoons charectors were missing
...The X-men are a group of the most legondary and famous super heroes ever. X-men 1.5 has some extra footage and some bounus material that was never origonally in the version released at the cinema.

Plot
After the events at the end of the first movie, Magneto is still locked inside his plastic prison, and is deemed secure. However after a a attack on the United States President by an assassin mutant, once again leaves the humans mistrusting the Mutants.
General William Stryker, goes to extreme lengths to eradicate all mutants, by breaking into the Proffessor Xaviers school for mutants, and starts kidnapping the students, who are under Wolverines watch while the rest of the X-men are away searching for the assassin who attacked the President.
