Customer Reviews
1.) I cannot get X-Men Origins: Wolverine to play beyond the "If
you are having trouble..." screen without turning off the BD-Live
functionality on my player (Oppo BD-83). I thought to do this because
the other movies in this series all asked if I wanted to download a
BD-Live update at that exact point. Maybe it's because the servers are
being overwhelmed by a new release, but that shouldn't be the case if
proper planning and testing had taken place.
2.) The picture quality of these movies is very poor. Even during
the first few scenes of the trilogy movies, there is very noticeable
video noise in darker portions of the picture, resembling what you get
on a cheap digital still camera with the ISO cranked way up. I know
this isn't my player or TV's problem because watching 17 Again, Bolt
and S.W.A.T. on the exact same setup yielded SPECTACULAR picture
quality. It's almost as if the producers took one of their DVDs and did
some cheesey upconversion to create these Blu-ray copies.
I am very tempted to return the whole purchase and just buy them on DVD, saving the extra money I spent to get them on Blu-ray.
Great Movie - Worth the Blu-Ray Price
I have a view on when to and when not to buy blu-rays. Unless it
has action and is a very intense movie with lots of effects and sounds,
I just go with the standard DVD. So knowing that this would fall into
the category of a blu-ray buy, I bought the trilogy and the new
Wolverine. Well Worth it!!! The graphics were fantastic and the audio
was perfect. The movies were great as well, but if you're reading this
you're already convinced to buy the movies, you're just deciding if
it's worth the blu-ray price. I would say if you're watching it on a
standard definition (or even a HD) set that is less than 30"-36" then
it really doesn't matter all that much. If your going big (I'm on a
63") then definitely go with the blu-ray, no questions. Hope that helps.
Good overall series
If you like comic books turned to movies you'll like this. X-Men
Orgins Wolverine is the best of the 4 in my opinion, action scenes are
better, but the trilogy pack has a better storyline. Wolverine's
flashbacks in the Trilogy series isn't exactly like Orgins, but its
close enough to work. This is a set where if you are good at picking up
on little things, why the people are how they are is explained. There
is some comedy thrown in through out also, like when Wolverine
complains about there black suits and Cyclops says "would you rather it
be yellow spandex?" Not the best movies ever but pretty good.
