X2:united
Advantages: Continues with an already loved story.
Disadvantages: Differs very subtly from the original comic book
...been a fan of the X-Men since i was a small child, starting with the animated series and then eventually the comic book. X-men introduced us to the characters, but X2 captures them so well that, co-creator, Stan Lee would be proud. Also introducing some new characters that will make fans happy. The returning cast who made these characters their own in the first film, are even better in X2. With the story focusing more on Hugh Jackman's Wolverine ...
...his loss of memory. After his brief encounter with a mutant assassin, Nightcrawler, the president grants William Stryker, a rogue army colonel with a desire to destroy mutants, permission to enter the Xavior Institute, Wolverine conects Styker to his amnesa. Also, while visiting Magneto in his, especially designed, plastic prison, designed by Stryker, Cyclops and The Professor are taken. The remaining X-men, Wolverine, Storm, and Jean, and a few ...

Marvel Boxset
Advantages: Lots of Marvel heroes
Disadvantages: Elektra is not a great film
X Men
'X-men' follows the conflicts and struggles that mutants must face from mankind. Professor Charles Xavier is one such mutant that wishes to help mutants who are unable to understand their gifts. The villain of the story is Magneto, a very powerful mutant, who thinks that a war is approaching between man-kind and mutants. Stunning action and good performances all round....

...destroy all of them. Magneto is back with a scheme of his own that involves the death of all mankind. It's up to our mutant hero's to save the day. Better than the first, the individual character stories are more in-depth and special effects have been stepped up enough to make this a cracking comic book movie.

X-men super heroes!
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. This is great as it gives a slight bit of extra knowledge to the stories and shows you more about what is happening.
X-men 1.5.
The world is being divided into two very different groups those that are 'normal' and those that are evolving mutants. These ...
...two groups of people the X-men those that wish to use their powers for the greater good of humanity to help the planet. Lead by Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) the x-men are the same as the comics Storm, cyclops, Jean Grey and of course wolverine. They are against Magnetos group those that would kill humans to defend themselves as they feel they will never be excepted.
As the story unfolds you get the first glimps of Xaviers school and see the ...

Gather Around X-Men & X-Women Alike
Advantages: The first is good the sequel is even better
Disadvantages: Second may be a little long for some
Wow. Simply wow. Call me backwards but after catching bits of X-Men on TV quite some time ago I didn't think anything of it, but then when I received X-Men 2 as a gift and watched that I had to rush out and buy X-Men to watch it properly. And boy was it good. Now I mean call me backwards because of the order I watched the films in, not because I thought X-Men was geeky. But if X-Men is still geeky then call me a geek, but the comic and cartoon series ...
...credible franchise. Both films are 12 certificates, with the sequel being just over 2 hours compared to the first 100 minutes. Where to start? The beginning. X-Men. X-Men 1. Here we are introduced to Wolverine, who just so happens to be the most recognisable X-Man so it was a good place for the director to start. He is still trying to put together pieces of his life, to remember why he can now suddenly have metal claws shoot out of his body - like ...

X-Men 2 (DVD And Fantastic Four Jonny Storm Watch
Advantages: Better action than some with story line
Disadvantages: slow in parts
If you love the first X-MEN then X-MEN2 is a must have, with less story building than the first this film has a lot more action - packed fun for all to love.
There are a few slow parts in the film but overall its a must. the charachters realy start to evolve and if you were a fan of the cartoon then the end makes a lot more to you than if you just watch the film.
Although you are left felling that they could have done more.
E.g. Magneto (Lan Mckellen) ...
...four is again much like X-men 1 you have to wait for the best bits as the story building takes its time however its much more for the younger audience with its light humor and slightly cheesy punchlines however it is quit a good film for kids as it does not require you to concerntrate to long and if you miss bits of the film you can catch up with the plot later. A great xmas gift ...
