Got this for my son who LOVES wolverine! Alwasy trying to pretend he's him. And we actually play this on the Blu-Ray player & it's great. Great flicks! So happy it came in a set - much easier than getting each separately!

I have to first say this is a very well presented trilogy. The packaging is very nice, and includes all three X-Men movies, plus a bonus disc for each and a digital copy...that's 9 discs in the package!
I'm gonna break this down into Movie
X-Men: I was actually really impressed with this first film, I'm pretty new to the X-Men movies and finally decided to pick this trilogy up for my collection. Its action packed and tells a pretty good story of the "mutants" and how they must hide from the regular humans who look down on them because of their advanced evolution. I wont give away any movie specific details, cause its kinda nice to see it for yourself.
Video: Blu-ray transfer on X-Men was very well done, beautiful colors, crisp blacks, and decent whites...though some were a bit bright and almost washed out. The outdoor scenes really popped off the screen, with sharp details really coming out...especially in the pine needles (very defined and great color)
Sound: Sound was pretty decent, although some scenes had a bit of trouble with dialog (center) being faded and quiet during some action scenes...I found this surprising since BD seemed to fix this problem, which I found really annoying on DVDs in the past.
_______________________________________________________________________
X2: Movie wise this was my least favorite of the 3. I think the story was mediocre, and it almost seemed like they struggled with ideas. I also was kinda mad about some of the old classic characters not being introduced or even having short cameo appearances. All and all though pretty decent movie, and worth a watch...to get the whole story.
Video: Very nice scenery in this one, the outdoor scenes are awesome as the camera pans over at a high angle! The special effects are very well done and blend with the film very well. I noticed a bit of grain in some darker scenes but that's understandable. Again another very nice Blu Ray transfer here.
Audio: About the same as above, action scenes are loud and punchy, with only one scene struggling from the sound drowning out main character voices...not a deal breaker though.

X-Men United: Fun film, pretty good story, although the way the villains and hero's are brought together seems a bit distracting. Id have to say this was my second favorite in the trilogy finishing out the story, but leaving enough wiggle room for a possible 4th movie?!?! Shocker I know, but at the end credits I must say I was very happy with what I had witnessed, and actually took the final disc out thinking "wow that was a pretty damn good experience"
Video: A trifecta of good visuals is certainly delivered with this movie. I was again very impressed by the small details, trees, rocks, etc that just really came off the screen. The good thing is it didn't feel over done, and special effects again blended very well into the actual footage. Bright colors, sharp edges, and crisp movement round this disc out well.
Audio: This one seemed to have the best audio, for my ears at least. The surrounding sounds and little details (glass breaking, debris falling, etc) were all very clean and sharp. One scene near the end of the movie shows a structure being "relocated" and its excellent hearing the steel girders bend and snap, steel cables stretch to their breaking point, and concrete shattering and falling all around you.
Overall this is a very impressive audio/visual journey, the story is a bit slow at times but its a really nice trilogy to own, with great packaging and extras (namely the 3 full bonus discs, and digital copy of each film!)

I got to hand it to Fox, they really mastered this blu-ray trilogy. I was unimpressed by the lack of the Spider-man trilogy's special features. I think anything being re-released onto blu-ray should have something new besides video and sound quality. This box set is almost overloaded with features that kept me watching for hours and hours.
I found some of the features to repeat themselves, but for the most part they were worthwhile. My absolute favorite was the one-hour special on the history of X-men comics found on the X3 special features disc. I felt that alone gave me the ultimate satisfaction for purchasing this set. I had the previous dvd copies, and this was a huge step in the right direction. Thank you Fox!
Your blu-ray quality is about what you would expect for the series. The first movie was in 2000 so I was most interested in that transfer. X-men had the most apparent positive transfer. The other films have your standard blu-ray quality. I wouldn't necessarily rate the films individually because you have all seen them by this point. It is a great trilogy, with a rough third part. I enjoyed the Singer movies a lot more than Brett Ratner's take.
If you're looking for a feature-packed blu-ray boxed-set this is a must have. Don't buy in to those empty box trilogies they put out with nothing on them. They will release a better version in time and it will aggravate you that you didn't wait. I give my example on the Spider-man trilogy. Will all these movies being such great hits, I can comparitively say that 20th Century Fox really did us justice on this release, and I hope more distribution companies recognize the bar that they have set. Remember for those of you who dislike the features in the first place, it makes everyone happy to have an abundance of them. The regular movie watchers can watch the film occasionally and be done. Then the nerds like me can watch all the features and get our moneys' worth. Putting out these box sets with nothing on them only satisfies a certain audience. The X-men Trilogy has paved a path for future franchise blu-rays to follow.

What a great series and on bluray will just blow you away. I used to use the original x-men to show off my speaker setup and with this on bluray with HD audio will make your skin crawl at times.
Highly recommended
