X-Men 2 : how is the DVD?

I saw it in theatres and I don't know why but I didn't enjoy it THAT much. X-Men 1, IMO, was a pretty good flick. I'm considering picking it up at DDD for $11.50 or so since it seems like too good of a deal to pass on.

I definitely didn't dislike X2, but then again I am not a huge comic book/movie fan. Should I splurge on it? I'm thinkin' I'll get easily $11 for it on eBay after watching it....

We did a fairly detailed write-up on all that the DVD has to offer, if you're insterested - http://filmfreakcentral.net/dvdreviews/x2.htm

I can't imagine the extras much appealing to you if you weren't a huge fan of the film, but the DTS track is very gratifying.

One of the best tracks I've heard in a long time.

It was well worth the $14.99 Circuit City Price. The movie is better than the first (which I like as well) and the picture and sound are great. The special features are good, although some aren't all that interesting and the deleted scenes are just extensions. Overall, the disc is definetely worth the DVD TALK COLLECTOR'S SERIES title the review on this site gave it. Your should get it, it will be a nice addition to your collection.

I enjoy this DVD very much.

I dug the featurettes on disc two, and the director/editor commentary. I haven't watched all of the extras yet. But its cool.

Bought the X-Men Collection. Was gonna wait until they release the mega X-Men 1-3 Collection, but I want to see both movies now. X2 is awesome.

Excellent disc from a technical standpoint: great video and explosive audio, noticably better than, say, Pirates of the Caribbean. The commentary isn't great, though. Not a big deal. It's a really good movie too. I liked it more than I liked the first one, which was a lot.

I have watched the DVD several times over the past week and I want to watch it again, but no free time to do so.

Extras are very good.

If you do not like "Comic book/Action" movies, then do not buy it. If you do like that kind of flick, then go for it - you will not be disappointed.
