X2
X2: X-Men United
X-Men 2

Why, why can't it just be called X-Men 2?

Personally I like:

2X, 2United

 

[Matt Butler]

Yeah I like the Anna Paquin cover alot!!

 

[Matt DeVillier]

what was wrong with the original poster?



and I really don't get the "X-Men United" tagline. maybe "Mutants United," as that makes sense in context of the movie.

Looks good! This is the first time I've seen them actually get the title of their own movie right on any of their promotional material. They really screwed up on the theatrical promotions.

It helps they included my two favorite characters (Wolverine and Rogue) prominently. I could have lived without that freak Mystique again, but she's so overused in the movies, so they might as well overuse her in the promotion too. Really nice shot of Halle Berry though too.

what was wrong with that, just movie the logo up top and but the widescreen banner on the bottom, take off the credits and thats it, and its got Wolverine and Storm up front which seems to be the basis for their marketing.

So what is "X-men United" b/c I know that it is not the title of the movie. For me the title of the movie is what appears at the beginning of the film and they didn't use X-men United in the film. So what was the point in changing the ads days before release if they didn't really change the title. Of coarse it is no big deal just seem stupid and pointless. It is like someone had a brain fart and forgot what the title of the movie was so they just threw everything in: X-Men 2, X2, X2 X-Men United. Make up you mind Fox or Singer, whoever.

About the artwork, original poster art would be better but it doesn't look that bad. I hate that there is a different cover for the fullscreen. I like the characters on the fullscreen better but there is no f---in way I'll buy the fullcrap version. At least the cover is better then that stupid Matrix Reloaded cover.

Its not nearly as bad as the new Carlito's Way cover...yuck! Be happy!

Back off with the Paquin comments man

 

[Britton]

C'mon JonZ, at least now you know we all think you have a good taste in women.

 

[Chad A Wright]

Anyone notice that not everyone is standing on the "Stand United" poster?

 

[Sean Laughter]

Now Chad, I think that comment was just in bad taste!!!

 

[TomWoodward]

The artwork for the package containing both films is now available:

 

[Ray H]

Now that's some impressive artwork.

Too bad there's no way I'm gonna buy another copy of the first X-Men.

 

[Chad A Wright]

Now Chad, I think that comment was just in bad taste!!!

I'm a graphic designer. Inconsistencies like that jump out at me as soon as I look at a poster or an ad. I don't think it's funny, just ironic.

 

[Paul_Scott]

the movie was fantastic, and i can't wait for the dvd, but this movie had some of the clumsiest graphic ad art i've ever seen.
the dvds cover, while not very original, looks better to me than either of regular ad mat designs.

the only one that really looks professional to me is the original 'teaser' with the door.
i would have been completely satisfied with that as the jacket art, but as long as the a/v is up to the standards of the previous disc, i'll be ecstatic.

X2 is being announced August 19 (so I was told)

 

[Nick Sievers]

Does that X-Men collection boxset include X-Men 1.5 or a new version entirely? I haven't picked up 1.5 so this might be the best oppurtunity to get both films.

 

[Darren Haycock]

I too have the original, and am glad I've held off getting X-Men 1.5. Ideally it'd be nice to get the trilogy boxset, but there's no way I'm waiting for X2. I'll be getting the collection now.
