Time to buy X-MEN 1.5 (box and pubs) (1 Viewer)

[Aaryn Chan]

The cover is not as slick as the original one.
Due to size of image, click here to check the pub..
I don't like the idea of "A WHOLE NEW X-MEN". That's fake publicity. They should've dropped the 1.5.
Buy it at Amazon

 

[JeffreyMercado]

Amazon has it for $17.54 pretty cheap.

 

[John Berggren]

It's kind of odd for the set to be called X-men 1.5, as if the movie were a new cut, when it's not.

 

[Antonio Silva]

Check out Wolverine's hair...

 

[Joshua Moran]

That is false advertising. It isn't a new cut of the film. are we sure this is the real cover?
You know those Canada people
just teasing

 

[Vince Maskeeper]

So if it's not the new cut, what exactly is it?

 

[Jeff Kleist]

just 2-disc SE

Fox and Bryan Singer have both nixed the new cut

 

[Vince Maskeeper]

Does it feature the alternate score?

 

[Chazz_S]

Oh my lord that's atrocious. I hope that's only the Canadian version if there is such a thing. Isn't this the ultimate useless double dip? No new cut, why are they bothering then? A few deleted scenes?

 

[michael deakin]

What the hell happened to the commentary by "Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen".?

Wow, that's just an outright lie. No way am I going to buy that.

There's no tricks. From the day this DVD was officially announced, never was it said to be a new cut or have an alternate score. That was decided against before the announcement. From DVD.IGN.COM:

October 31, 2002 - 20th Century Fox has finally released the full and official specs for the upcoming Special Edition of Bryan Singer's X-Men. Officially titled "X-Men 1.5 Collector's Edition, the two disc set will arrive on February 11th and will feature Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS soundtracks along with a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer.

X-Men 2 Sneak Preview Teaser.

 

[Neil Joseph]

Thanks for the picture. I have been looking for it for a while.

 

[Adam_WM]

Btw, I hope that isn't the cover. The original one is much cooler.

 

[Dave F]

There's no tricks.

I beg to differ. The very title implies a different cut of the movie. For us DVD geeks, we know the specs & what to expect, but most people seeing "X-Men 1.5" will be expecting a new version of the film. That title is intentionally misleading. A lie, in my book.

[Rob T]

I'm really dissapointed in the cover art and the title does make it seem like it's a new cut.

 

[NateLindsey]

I think it sucks they didn't include a DD-EX or DTS-ES soundtrack. Special edition my a$$.

This smells of the "Special Edition" Men in Black they brought out when MIB2 came out in theatres. They're just trying to drum up hype for the new movie.

 

[GaryEA]

I look at the specs and I see what SHOULD have been released in the first place. Oh well.
I honestly thought they'd drop the "1.5" from the title when it was announced that a new cut would not be included.
Marketing gone amok... details at eleven.

[StevenJ]

That looks awesome! I sold my older copy a while back because I knew about this, it was kind of stupid though
I shouldn't have sold it until like a week before this one comes out.
The 1.5 is pretty stupid. They should drop because it looks like a brand new movie or something.

 

[Mark Cappelletty]

Yeah, I sold mine too. File under "You Big Dummy!"

Whoever put those early specs on the web either was a fanboy or someone deliberately out to mislead us.

The "1.5" suggests something much more than just a special edition.
