X2 Dvd

[Gandollum]

I dont know if this is true, but a few websites have confirmed that the X2 dvd will be released on September 17. The dvd will be a 2-disc release, no word on the extras. Also, on the same day their will also be a two pack dvd containing X-MEN 1.5 and X2. Cant wait!!!

[spiderman_2k]

I got 1.5 already so id pick up X2 definatley

[Gandollum]

Oh, i forgot, they also posted the dvd covers for both editions, but i have no idea on how to post them.

[spiderman_2k]

What website is it and ill put them up here

[Gandollum]

The website was dvd answers. It will be faster if you go to superhero hype at the main page.

[spiderman_2k]

Heres X2 on its own

And the Double pack of X2 and X-Men 1.5

[Halofan1]

Cannot...wait....

[angelusrp]

Why didnt they put Nightcrawler on the cover?

[spiderman_2k]

Maybe they have more characters on the back like with the villans on the X-Men 1.5 DVD

[Movie Stub]

There were two posters. The first poster US versions f cours there was that one (the cover) and another one wih the other characters on it.

[Highfire]

x2 rules i cant wait till it comes out

[TyRoss]

This should rock. Although I'm glad I already have 1.5 the cover art for the 2 pack looks pretty bad.

[spiderman_2k]

Yeah i have it too and im glad, i dont think it looks good the way they merge, they should have come up with a new design for the double pack.

[Gandollum]

Ill probably pick up the double pack, I have the regular edition for X-MEN, so i might sell that one. BTW, Is X-MEN 1.5 worth purchasing?

[spiderman_2k]

Seeing as though i never owned the barebones edition of X-Men i thought it was really worth it

[Blueman]

x-men 1.5 was defnitley worth it,,it had some really cool features

It wasn't a barebones edition. It was actually a pretty solid edition. 1.5 was better though.

[spiderman_2k]

It was Barebones in comparison to 1.5 and what X2 will be...

Someone forgot to log out while playing the dating game ;)

[spiderman_2k]

Hehehehehe

[Gandollum]

Ill probably get the double pack, i hope Singer does an audio commentary for X2, like he did for 1.5.

[Jarbacca]

yeah i hope this X2 DVD is the final DVD, cause i don't want to be screwed over with a X2.5

[Sculder]

I don`t think there will be an X2.5 (Singer said on X1.5 that he doesn`t like to do dvd`s like that). But if there will , then I think it`s just gona be the same thing with trailer to X3 and making of X3 feature. :)

[Baadshah]

the cover for the X2 looks good, but why in hell do they have the credits in the front. It's like they didn't try at all on making a good cover for the dvd. It's like they just slapped the poster right on there

[Rocketboy]

I'm guessing that it's probably unfinished and they just used the poster to give an idea of what it'll look like.

i will probably get the 1.5 and 2 version cause my x-men 1 dvd is being funny recently so it would be wortth it

[Hitman]

All I need is the X2 DVD. I think X- Men 1.5 was just a cheap cash- in. It was basically the same as the original X- Men DVD but with a Behind- The- Scenes look at X2. All the other "extras" it had aren't even worth mentioning.

The "enhanced viewing mode" also has an hour of great material.

I can't really see your comments on it being the same. It has the same movie, yes, but everything else is different. Besides trailers and concept art, they don't share any of the same features. Not to mention 1.5 has a much better menu.

that must be the UK covers because american X-men 1.5 didnt look like that at all

[Rizor]

BTW, they were confirmed to be fake. And yes, it was the international art.

[Baadshah]

sweet, so we might see a cool cover for the DVD.

[jpdill]

that will NOT be the UK DVD cover - but just a sample. It will change to look more like 1.5's cover

[PapaGeorgioSmrf]

oooo all this fake cover, not fake cover talk is getting me interested in seeing the ACTUAL cover, cant wait

[roboxeno]

welll im still gettting the orginal Xmen DVD and X2

[darthspielberg]

Kinda like what they did with LOTR: EE

When they first announced it on the site they just took a green cover and slapped the logo from the film on the front. In actuallity they made a cool new logo.

I hope they take out the poster credits on the bottom and just put the three main stars (Might be hard for X2, however.)

Oh well. Is 1.5 good at all. I almost bought it the other day but when the choice came i bought The Addams Family (Great Flick)

[Movie Stub]

1.5 is great. Unbelievebale audio and transfer. And a ton of GREAT features on disc 2 plus disc 1 has a very good commentary. I highly reccommend it. It's the definitive edition for any fan of the X-Men movie.

[Rocketboy]

I bought X-Men 1.5 yesterday. It's on sale at Target for $13. Great deal (even better if you have a Target Corporation discount ;))

Does anyone know if there is a way to watch the bonuses on disc 1 without having to watch the "enhanced viewing" mode?

[Gandollum]

Im still deciding if i should get 1.5, i have the original release, but i dont know about this. Is 1.5 really worth purchasing even if you have the original dvd.

[PapaGeorgioSmrf]

i wouldn't say it is, just stick with the original, you don't need the 1.5, i have it just because i dont have the original one, if i did i wouldnt have wasted my money on 1.5, nothing too great

I typed 'em out once and posted them on a different forum. Can't find it now...

[Rizor]

.....found it.

Since the deleted scenes and 17 behind-the-scenes featurettes can only be viewed by clicking little icons through the "Enhanced Viewing Mode" on the new DVD, I figured it'd be nice to make a listing of all these clips with the time code you can go to to access them easier. The time code goes [hour:minute:second]

I doubt too many will care, but here goes:

DELETED SCENES- for the sake of it all, I'll just be using the titles of the scenes used for the previous release.

1. "Storm's Lesson (Expanded)" [00:27:16]
2. "Logan Spies/After Class" [00:29:51]
3. "Love Triangle (Expanded)" [00:36:33]
4. "The Walk Home/Cerebro" [00:38:22]
5. "Xavier & Jean" [00:49:47]
6. "Orders" [01:09:05]

BEHIND THE SCENES CLIPS- I made up the names here to give you an idea of what the clip feature/where it comes up.

01. Poland 1944 [00:01:39]
02. Senate Hearing [00:06:38]
03. Cage Fight [00:11:08]
04. Battle in the Snow [00:20:15]
05. Magneto's Lair [00:25:23]
06. Xavier's Office [00:25:23]
07. Magneto Tests the Machine on Kelly [00:34:02]
08. Senator Escapes [00:42:42]
09. After Using Cerebro [00:47:42]
10. The Train Sequence [00:51:18]
11. Stand-Off on the Steps [00:55:13]
12. The Attack Plan [01:08:38]
13. The X-Jet [01:11:30]
14. Liberty Fight Sequences [01:12:53]
15. Liberty Interior [01:18:03]
16. Wolverine-Sabretooth Rehearsal [01:22:45]
17. Chess Game [01:33:10]

[Rocketboy]

Awesome! Thanks a lot! :)

[clrb15]

I want the X2 DVD NOW!!!!!!! :waa:

[clrb15]

but i'll just wait

[Rizor]

I just want to know when this is getting announced. Japan is getting it next month, and not even a word from Fox in America! They at least need about two months to market, set up preorders, etc. R2 is getting it Nov 24. That's alright if we get it around that time, but that month's already too busy.

[Mr.Matinee]

Can't wait for this!

[bjgroves91]

The official release date from fox has already been announced through the x2 Xtreme wallpaper.

http://www.superherohype.com/cgi-bin/news/fullnews.cgi?newsid1060836331,84312,

[bjgroves91]

It's officially November 25

[jediknight]

WTF why does it take so long!!! :mad:

[bjgroves91]

It's only 6 months from the release in theaters. I think they learned their lesson on the X-Men DVD. They released it 4 months after it came out in theaters. That edition wasn't too great so they had to make X-Men 1.5. I think this time they want to get it straight the first time around and not have to release an X-Men 2.5. At least this one will be a 2 disc edition with more "X-tras".

[jediknight]

I hear that, but Matrix is coming out a month earlier and so is Hulk, both movies were released after X-men.

I liked how on the first x-men movie you could branch the deleted sceens, i wish they would do that in this one. I could see it taking 6 months if that were the case, but Daredevil had good features too and came out 5 months after the theatrical release. Oh, and I want DTS like Daredevil got, that dvd has some great sound! :waldo:

[jediknight]

and why does region 4 get it on 10/29?!?

[bjgroves91]

Japan get's it on Seeptember 12

[jediknight]

Since when does america get the shaft on movies?!?

[bjgroves91]

I know, what's up with that.

At least it will have DTS, not so mad now :p

I just didn't understand why hulk and the matrix were releasing on dvd first and had later theatrical releases.

[Baadshah]

the X2 dvd will be by far the best loaded dvd of this year for summer movies, don't you agree? It has everything !!!!

[jediknight]

Yeah, I wish the matrix carried these features. At least we wont have an xmen 2.5 as someone else said.

[jediknight]

the region one artwork is to much like x-men 1.5. Not to mention I loved the poster for x2. I think the poster should have been the cover for the dvd like region 4 gets.

[clrb15]

The region 4 cover is ok, but I still like the region 1 cover (that's what i'm getting). But region 4's disc's are AWESOME!!!!!

[Baadshah]

i like the fact they used X-men 2, rather than X2 X-men United

[sphericthor]

It was only called X2: X-Men United in the US, so they didn't see the point of changing the name for the DVD

Technically, the movie isn't even called that....."United" was made up by the Fox marketting team for this.....

The movies actually called "X2 - X-men 2"

[bjgroves91]

I like the region 4 cover better also

THE FIRST X2 DVD REVIEW (REGION 1)
X2 R1 DVD REVIEW (http://www.dvdfile.com/software/review/dvd-video_7/x2.html)

[jediknight]

...awesome...

Explain something to me though, if they already have press release dvds out, why will it be another 3 months for consumers? They pretty much did the same thing with Daredevil, they had reviews up months before it came out on DVD. What's Fox up to?

I'm guessing the discs are already pressed or can be, but they're waiting to release it at the most profitable time.

[scifi guy]

i'm gonna pass on the X2 dvd. i'm buying the x2/x-men 1.5 boxset instead

[Riddle]

Uuummm......the X2 in the set is exactly the same as the stand-alone. So, in fact, you aren't passing on it at all! ;)

Yeah, I wanted it to look like the poster also because the poster was perfect. This crap they are putting on the R1 release is similar to the X-Men 1.5 cover, though. Maybe thats why they did it.
