Editorial Review:
The evolution continues in this "exhilarating thrill ride" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) that features the extraordinary original X-Men - along with amazing new mutants possessing fantastic powers that have to be seen to be believed. In the wake of a shocking attack on the President, the X-Men face their most dangerous mission ever. They must stand united with their deadliest enemies to combat a menace that threatens every mutant on the planet. But could this new alliance backfire and annihilate the human race? Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Hale Berry, Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos star in this breathtaking, action-packed spectacle that "may be the best superhero movie yet made!" (San Francisco Examiner)
Description of X2 - X-Men United (Collector's Edition Steelbook):
X2 does a fine job of picking up where X-Men left off, giving fans more of what they liked the first time around. Under the serious-minded custody of returning director Bryan Singer, the second film of this Marvel comics franchise ups the ante on Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and the superhero mutants from the first film, pitting them against a mutant-hating scientist (Brian Cox) who's determined to wipe out the mutant race by tricking Xavier into abusing his telepathic powers. More a series of spectacles than a truly satisfying thriller, X2 introduces new mutant allies while giving each of the X-Men alumni--notably the temporarily helpful Magneto (Ian McKellen)--their own time in the spotlight. Well aware of the parallels between "mutantism" and virulent intolerance in the real world, Singer lends real gravity to the proceedings, injecting dramatic urgency into a continuing franchise that, in lesser hands, might've grown patently absurd. --Jeff Shannon
X2 - X-Men United (Collector's Edition Steelbook) Reviews:
X2: Perhaps the greatest comicbook film ever made alongside the first Superman 
2009-12-29 - Glad to see I can get the first and second X Men films separately. For me, the third one was a big dissapointment and I disliked the Wolverine prequel even more. Bryan Singer is the man.
Blue Ray transer is GREAT!
2009-12-04 - I am so happy that this movie was given a great Blue Ray transfer! It looks awesome as well as watching it again put me in the theatre with the feeling I had when I saw it the first time. The clarity and color tones are jumping out of the screen and the audio is up to par for the surround sound or just straight stereo!
The special features are all here from the DVD version which ROCKS! So, if you don 't have this movie yet? Get it here at Amazon for a good price.
Good sequels to movie action 
2009-11-25 - I am a long time Marvel and X-Men fan. I have not been impressed by the comic to movie conversion of these characters. I like the movies as stand alone adventures. I do not think the represent the series well, but they are fun to watch. In all fairness, I have rarely been impressed by comic to movie, or book to movie, conversions.
X2: X-Men United
2009-11-24 - I have been a fan of the X-Men ever since I first started the X-Men cartoon series back in the 1990s. This movie, as its name implies, is a sequel to the first X-Men movie. In this movie, the X-Men have to rescue their leader, Professor Xavier, played by Patrick Stewart, from evil government forces. Along the way, Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, discovers clues that could lead him to his lost memories. The action scenes kept me engrossed in the movie and I found the plot very interesting. I recommend this DVD to any X-Men fan.
Excellent condition - Like new!
2009-09-14 - I was amazed how fast this DVD arrived. I was also in shock at what perfect condition it was in. There were no markings or scratches at all! Thank You!
