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 Price5 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 series4 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.
