As difficult as this can be understood in less than a decade, there is the idea of a Hollywood adaptation of the comic book was a great danger. The entire film industry was still shaken by the horrors of the camp Joel Schumacher Batman Turkey Neon Color & Robin, a film that for a certain period of time apparently killed a film career, the Dark Knight and George Clooney.Given this situation, it is difficult to imagine what happens in the minds of studio executives Fox (a Hollywood that is not synonymous with risk in those days) when the fire Green to $ 75million Marvel adaptation "X-Men. Of course, comic book has all the types of marketing records in the BD speculator boom of the mid-90s. The famous animation series was killed in 1997. Even in foreign countries was the fact that Fox hopes this summer blockbuster $ 75million from Hotshot filmmaker Bryan Singer whose last job was the access of the public, the usual suspects and students Apt. None of them has no evidence that it is capable of successfully super-serious consequences.
Evolution of Success
But the belief in Singer Fox was rewarded when the film has in the world in summer 2000. X-Men a shot directly into the end of the year on the eighth most important source of revenue in the U.S. Box Office, with the companies in the world at that time with about $ 296million! So how is the film with a capacity of nearly ten years later? Very well done. Singer fast its grip on the idea of X-Men, as a foreigner to understand that there are those who for mankind, even if they feared and hated by most people. He also has an excellent work for the compilation of the number of characters that people on both Professor Xavier Magneto X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. The only problem is the act climax. Singer of the final confrontation in a little depth with some tin-eared dialogue (Storm 'You know what a toad when he struck by lightning ... Like everything else, "the last straw) and the lack of ambition of the measure, which leads to the epic magnetotherapy plan seems quite small.
f X-Men have been taken seriously superheroes on the big screen, after 2003 has shown that Cantor X2 now has the necessary confidence to go to the spectacle, too. Upon his arrival one year after Spider-Man has a new standard for the cinema superheroics, X2 has shown that there is still much to explore, on the left side of the comic action film. Thanks to X-Men, the world of construction and the introduction of characters, X2 for the soil (or should be "bamf'-ment), with a spectacular sequence with Night Crawler. And after that both rare that the weather is allowed. The script packages serious drama and a lot of jokes, the miniatures and the concepts of the comic book of the mass and the use of ramps singer unexpectedly. All of this young man with a dark Empire Strikes Back and the key is one of the best superhero movies ever made . Certainly, nothing could, the X-Men now ...
Stand and Deliver
Nothing, except that the actual singer was to rescue the franchise-X with the aim of developing a new Superman in the movies of Warner Bros. However, the great singer-performance shoes were filled by Brett Ratner, director of an official better known for films Rush Hour . To be fair, X-Men: The Last Stand is not a terrible film - and not only on foot and not in comparison to its predecessors. On the positive side of things, some of the popular characters like the animal, which had in previous films, and at least attempts, the history of the arms used by the construction of the first two films. Unfortunately, things are a bit like a blockbuster action to become a victim of the same plate and the third act partially derailed the original X-Men.
Despite its rather lukewarm response from critics and serious fans of the film still of crude oil of more than $ 450million over the world to ensure that openness, in the theater, in one form or another. Go to today and have X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the opening of cinemas in the UK on 29 April. And the left is, 20th Century Fox is a problem with the hard drive of six X-Men Trilogy Boxset Blu-ray with the first three films in gorgeous 1080p HD. What to do if there are good reasons for fans of updating the existing versions of the DVD (or in the case of X-Men: The Last Stand, the latest edition with a Blu-ray movie)? Let's get blocked and discover ...
Rik Henderson: When it comes to image quality, the new version on Blu-ray offers up to exceptional X AVC 2.40:1 that the fans, please. Each is technically perfect, without noise or obvious (larger) DNR. That is true love in the cinema, in contrast to other titles that we've seen all these movies, as always, to a film with a good amount of films in each grain the native encoding.
The first X-Men is certainly less impressive, the appearance of the three, but it is quite the film a little flat and subdued style. This means that areas with a color of vitality, the previous DVD incarnations never in competition with the hope and the images are so strong that the Wolverine claws.
Among these films, X2 pictures are much more dynamic than its predecessor. The film is much brighter. If in addition to the high contrast, often have the impression that the actual images on the screen. Equally impressive is the amount of the fine retailers all - to check the sharpness and clarity of tattoos tribal conflicts Night crawlers, which on its face, before the five minutes to see what I say.
Finally, we have X-Men: The Last Stand, and despite the rumors, once seems to be a repetition of the same AVC encoding, which in previous separate Blu-ray Fox published in March 2007. It is true that the transition from a disk BD25 to BD50, perhaps a bit more room to breathe, but the comparison between the two showed no discernible differences. That is, not really a problem with how ... The final decision was a BD cracks in the research of the day, and the new version seems cursed spiffy enough Stills.
Steve May: This trio offers a sound development of mutant feel. Submitted 24/48 kHz DTS-HD Master Audio, the three talkies FX slam his, like a second kind of super-villain. The first movie was a black, high-5 / 1 FX mixing with rigor at the beginning, but it offers some subtle maintained: If we allow ourselves to Wolverine, the fight against the cage in Canada, the country was going through metal square bar for the environment.
X2 is faster and offers more than a measure in general. The introduction of night crawlers, and in particular offers numerous effects cute direction control. The result is a soundtrack entirely satisfactory. The Last Stand is comparable to great, but raises the ante with a conversation. The mixture of 6.1 (same as found in the original version on Blu-ray) is very efficient and offers some curious effects. X-Cellent!
Anton van Beek: Fox was the subject of another in the past with all the extra catalog press. But this CD of six X-Men trilogy series is certainly paying off. If you think an additional feature of the epitome of DVD movies, it is sure that you have an hour from the Blu-ray here. And that's not enough for the child, that Fox has also prepared several new features in 1 / 1 profile for each film to add fun. In this way everything is broken ...

Thank goodness! That is a lot of X-crap! And not trying to in a few days. But the quality of content is usually quite high, with meat very documentary for the fans flocking in their teeth. BonusView new ground in the picture image can be beaten or a little lost, and repeated a variety of information found, but moreover is a good way to monitor the performance of films, without necessarily due to all listed separately. It's also nice to see that some documentaries and short films to X-Men: The Last Stand will be in HD, but in the glory instead of 1080i, 1080p trailers for films on six discs.
Oddly, no matter how I am, I could not find Blu-ray exclusive track Trivial Fox appeared on the last version of the Blu-ray standard, although the load, to be honest, I think, is a great loss, because the weight of additional hardware to the slide on the second disk. Also the digital copy of every movie in the box of the United States are not here.
