So one decent movie, one great movie, and a bunch of mediocre to awful movies. Fox really f**ks up their superhero flicks, don't they. Should've included LXG.
C**p, c**p, c**p pity c**p and a zinger.
Hey, I love Daredevil with a passion. Shoot me.
"Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Heroes Volume 1" is a strange inclusion.
I've not seen that one but otherwise only X-Men and X2 are any good, and X-Men isn't great. X2 is ace though.
I've not seen the Daredevil: DC but despite probably being better I cannot see it making it suddenly a decent film.
X2: X-Men United - What's wrong with X-Men 2?

I don't know why Fox is doing this, considering Fox isn't releasing any Marvel films until next May's "Wolverine" comes along.
As for the selection of movies, pretty middling to fair. The "Fantastic Four" movies are dumb fun -- they can be enjoyed, provided you're in the right mindset. "X-Men 3" gets a lot of flack than it deserved, but I enjoyed it. "X Men" is pretty good, while "X2" is fun but heavily overrated.
"Daredevil" and "Elektra" have only Jennifer Garner to compensate for the piss poor screenplays.

I'm still waiting for the X-Men: The Last Stand 2-Disc Edition FOX!!!
If that was one film, i would be pretty damn impressed!
X-men 3 had Vinnie Jones which is reason enough to dislike it and whats with the black leather fetish these X-men have? Where are the proper costumes? The costumes define the superheroes. Daredevil is just plain bad even compared to Fantastic Four which is saying something.
Time to bring on X1/2 on Blu-Ray Fox!
Yeah I'm with you, Gio--- where the hell is the 2-Disc Edition of "The Last Stand" already?
Umm, didn't they already release the 2 Disc version of X3 The Last Stand when the DVD first came out? I remember the special edition one being the Wolverine's 3 claws on it...
C**P! WHERE'S SPIDER-MAN AND GHOST RIDER? Oh wait! They're just doing FOX superheroes. BULL C**P!

Nope, that was the standard release plus a comic by Stan Lee. I really wish they'd release a 2-disc, though. They were supposed to like a year and a half ago.
And what the hell is the point of this release? Also, that cover art is horrendously... horrendous.
And come on, people, what's wrong with the Daredevil DC? That movie kicks ass all over the place.

There's no 2 disc X-men 3 in America? Crikey it's been out elsewhere since launch. Thankfully Fox only ever pull that cheeky trick in America. Just import it
X-Men 3 is fun but like all of Brett Ratner's films it has no intelligence or soul of it's own. If Ratner was a painter he'd specialise in those painting by numbers pictures you see in kids books. He has no ideas of his own, or talent to pull it off.
X-Men 1 was hurt by a too small budget (but was easily more intelligent than X-men 3). X-Men 2 is considerably better than both of them put together.

Is Ben "Bland" Affleck still in it? His brother is much more talented.

yikes. it's been a while since i've seen this many s**tty movies in one collection.
the 2 disc of X3 for R1 is likely to come out when Wolverine hits theaters....since there isnt an X4 to promote anytime soon that would make the most sense.
i really cant believe FOX is bringing this up...
besides i already have all those titles... well except the fantastic four animation...
and the only descent film was X2
total waste of money
they couldnt even make a better art work

the side of the box shows 9 titles...it's SUPER hard to tell but the movie title just above daredevil looks like it says WOLVERINE

It says "VOLUME ONE" - from looking at the original file.

For this box to be interesting, they should, at least, give the director's cuts of these movies.
DD is far better (still not a good movie)
And considering the number of deleted scenes mentioned by the directors of these movies over the years and/or in audio com, it's not like they lake materials to do so !
This box seems like an easy way to sell the stocks of these movies before some Blue-Ray ultra-special-BullS**t edition

Of course, they cant place Sony Picture titles in their set. Not unless Fox pays extra money at Sony, but of course they wont.

All these movies can be picked up for pocket change now, you are paying for the c**p package, which incidentally reminds me of a cereal box.
This should be a Blu Ray release with a bonus disc on the world of Marvel or something to give it some kind of unique quality.

Look at Halle Berry's face on that cover. No go on, I'll wait here...Done it? ROTFL!!
its funny seeing james marsden being on the cover when he has about 5mins screentime in all 3 movies combined..lol

I do too. I find most of these movies to be enjoyable. I don't really know the characters so I don't know if Fox f*cked them up or not.

X-Men 3 2-disc edition is available in R4, and it looks like it includes some decent extras (I don't know about the DTS, since the R4 I'm refering is from Mexico, so don't know which audio options it'll have)...
As for this release, LAME...most of us already have most of those movies (yes, the ones worth, and Daredevil, sorry, it was on sale...), so I don't see most people over this...

I would consider buying this if it was coming out on Blu Ray
Oh, btw, the same thing with Children of Men 2-disc...R4 has it, R1 doesn't...
That box should come with the banner "This is why Fox should never get their hands on another Superhero License!"
