    2-0 out of 5 stars Movie is great, but don't bother with the Collector's Edition!
    As a DVD collector, I was more than willing to fork over the extra ten dollars to pick up the X-Men: The Last Stand Collector's Edition. Unforntunately, I have never been more disappointed.
    4-0 out of 5 stars Wrap Up
    I enjoyed this movie for what it was.I also enjoyed the first two movies as well.They seemed to depend a lot more on characterization and the human/mutant discriminations.This one seems to go more for the slam bam action more than story.The mutant battle at the end of the movie is great.This movie kills off several major characters, makes some major changes to others, as well as introducing us to new major characters Beast, Angel and Juggernaut.To quickly sum it up, Jena Grey returns from the dead as Phoenix, a not so nice but very powerful mutant.Professor X and Magneto are at odds as to what to do with her.Meanwhile a mutant boy who can take away the mutant ability is used to create a cure for mutants.Some see this as a savior, others look at it like genocide.Thats when the real battles start.Enjoyable action film with great special effects.Though this wraps up the overall X-Men trilogy nicely, there was a slight tease at the end of more possibilities.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Superb, it doesn't get any better than this!
    I loved this movie and cannot understand why anyone who is truly a sci-fi fan could not love this movie.It was action packed with great special effects and a very well thought out plot.This combination is almost impossible to find in movies today.Nothing, since the Terminator II can compare to this movie.Hats off to everyone involved in this fantastic production.For those of you who can not apppreciate a gem sci-fi such as this, stick to something you know. ...

    Editorial Review

    What was in the Hatch? The cliffhanger from season one of Lost was answered in its opening sequences, only to launch into more questions as the season progressed. That's right: Just when you say "Ohhhhh," there comes another "What?" Thankfully, the show's producers sprinkle answers like tasty morsels throughout the season, ending with a whopper: What caused Oceanic Air Flight 815 to crash in the first place? As the show digs into more revelations about its inhabitant's pasts, it also devotes a good chunk to new characters (Hey, it's an island; you never know who you're going to run into.) First, there are the "Tailies," passengers from the back end of the plane who crashed on the other side of the island. Among them are the wise, God-fearing ex-drug lord Mr. Eko (standout Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje); devoted husband Bernard (Sam Anderson); psychiatrist Libby (Cynthia Watros, whose character has more than one hidden link to the other islanders); and ex-cop Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez), by far the most infuriating character on the show, despite how much the writers tried to incur sympathy with her flashback. Then there are the Others, first introduced when they kidnapped Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) at the end of season one. Brutal and calculating, their agenda only became more complex when one of them (played creepily by Michael Emerson) was held hostage in the hatch and, quite handily, plays mind games on everyone's already frayed nerves. The original cast continues to battle their own skeletons, most notably Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Sun (Yunjin Kim) and Michael (Harold Perrineau), whose obsession with finding Walt takes a dangerous turn. The love triangle between Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway), which had stalled with Sawyer's departure, heats up again in the second half. Despite the bloating cast size (knocked down by a few by season's end) Lost still does what it does best: explores the psyche of people, about whom "my life is an open book" never applies, and cracks into the social dynamics of strangers thrust into Lord of the Flies-esque situations. Is it all a science experiment? A dream? A supernatural pocket in the universe? Likely, any theory will wind up on shaky ground by the season's conclusion. But hey, that's the fun of it. This show was made for DVD, and you can pause and slow-frame to your heart's content. Just try and keep that head-spinning to a minimum. Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Not Quite as Good as Season 1 But It's Still LOST!
    I think that the reason people don't like Season 2 as much as Season 1 is because you get so attached to the characters. It was quite sad when Boone bit the dust, but he had to and you'll find out.
    4-0 out of 5 stars Good but not great
    OK. I do not love Lost but in some ways season two was slightly stronger than season one. IN season one you had a fantastic pilot and then almost no real storyline. This may also be slightly the case in season 2 at times but at least the quality of the dialogies and acting makes the interaction between the characters credible (or more credible at least). While some of the mroe intriguing things in Season 1 are not exploited at all (the monsters) there is much more emphasis on the presence of the Others, even if still very little is being explained. One thing that is somewhat tiring is that whenever one point has been clarified, there comes the next unexpected cliffhanger situation which is not allways necessary. In some ways you need to watch the whole thing in one go in order to make it satisfying since the single episodes themselves do not allways make for coherent viewing.

    5-0 out of 5 stars A different focus than Season 1, but a good difference
    There are no spoilers in this review.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Astonishing
    I admit to being a little troubled by the close of this season.(I won't say why so as not to give anything away.)However, now that season three has begun, I understand why they did what they did.The second half of season two is as good as the first half was.It is full of intrigue and rich in character development.The show is honestly an exercise in character development.The sci-fi setting is not the focus; the struggle, both internal and external, of the characters is.I think this is the selling point of the show and what makes it so amazingly great.See it!Love it!Buy it!

    5-0 out of 5 stars An incredible show to get into
    Battlestar Galactica had a full count of episodes in season 2 but decided to give fans and themselves a break halfway for a couple months. Inexplicably, the season is not in one big set but rather split in half at full price. It's one of those kind of unforgivable things that doesn't derail the season simply because the episodes are so great. While things in the middle section somewhat sag, they're bookended but awesome episodes that should appeal not only to sci-fi fans but drama fans in general.
    5-0 out of 5 stars The Best Show on TV just gets better and better
    People who have an opinion about BATTLESTAR GALACTICA tend to fall into three camps.First, there are those who dismiss it because it is Sci-fi and as a result have no interest in it.After all, those Trekkie types have no real aesthetic judgment and will like just about anything as long as it has spaceships, lasers, robots, and aliens (nevermind that BSG has neither lasers nor aliens).Second, there is the extremely small but rather fanatical group of fans of the original show (widely referred to as TOS) who are adamant that the new show (or GINO as they love to refer to it--"Galactica in name only") simply must be a horror because, well, STARBUCK is a guy in the new series!There is a third and rapidly growing group:those who consider BATTLESTAR GALACTICA either the best show on TV or at the very least among the best.Within the latter group there is a not insignificent group who wonder whether it might not be the best show in the history of television.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Great movie, but not as good as the book
    I don't really believe there's more than 10 people in the world that haven't seen the movie or read the book, so probably not a big audience for this review.
    1-0 out of 5 stars The silliest story ever told
    This film has to be one of the most ridiculous ever made.It is an incoherent, baffling and tedious tale about some vast conspiracy by the Catholic Church to cover up the truth about Jesus (that he was married to Mary Magdalene and had offspring), and apparently just about everything that has ever happened in world history since has been caused by this continuing cover-up.I have seldom seen a film both so ridiculous and so boring.It is slow, dull, pretentious and almost entirely incomprehensible.It is depressing to think that the novel on which this film is based has been a massive best-seller.Absolute drivel from beginning to end.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Better than You Might Think
    The DaVinci Code deserved better reviews than it received from the critics. Ron Howard did a good job of condensing a very long and complex plot into a comprehensible movie of reasonable length. Tom Hanks does an excellent job of portraying the American symbologist who is suspected of murder, and Audrey Tatou is an excellent counterpart to Hanks. I didn't even mind Tom's hair--it seemed appropriate for his character. My husband, who had not read the book, had no problems following the plot, whereas I, who have read the book, am impressed that they managed to get as much of the book in there as they did. Forget the controversy about the book; don't even think of the idea that the main premise might be true, and concentrate on enjoying the movie. ... Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars Old Time Matinee
    This is probably what someone would describe as the type of matinee you would see back in the day.A nice way to cool down on a hot summer day.While this movie is a little mindless, it is fun.When I went to see this, people applauded after the movie.People clearly love this movie.While I thought it was good, I don't know if it deserved applause but I had to admit that I liked it.This movie I thought was a big improvement over the first one and the effects were nothing short of spectacular.Truly unbelievable.The plot was compelling enough to keep me in my seat but I did feel the flow was a little bit stilted toward the end.Maybe the movie-making folks had some issues with the script and how best to make it flow (like I would now, right?).Of course this uneven flow could have been because of editing.I felt like the last hour of the film was a off center like they lost their pace a little bit.Looking forward to the third installment.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Captain Jack Sparrow
    I loved this movie! Captain Jack (Depp) is the perfect pirate for this movie, he is the kind of character you cant help but love. I cant wait for the 3rd movie to come out and see what happens between Jack and Elizabeth!!!! i loved the 1st movie, and i almost love the 2nd movie even more! The action and special effects make up for the slightly confusing story line, the ending to this movie leaves a HUGE opening for the 3rd movie. If you didn't see this movie in theaters it is definetly worth wathing when it comes out.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Yo Ho Ho! The Pirate's Movie for Me!
    Pirates of the Carribean 2 is funny, creepy, scary, tense, adventurous, slimy, gross and magical. Johnny Depp is once again superb as the mincing pirate captain, and Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom are worthy back ups to Depp. As the movie starts, Knightly is left waiting for Bloom at the altar, only to find that they both have warrants out for their arrest for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow. Their lives will be spared, however, if they can find a key and a hidden chest--- and the adventure is off!

    Love the series and have bought all previous seasons - but, as others have posted here, I sure hope there are ENGLISH SUBTITLES in the season 5 set. Otherwise, no sale. I'll borrow or rent. Why stop the English Subtitles now? If I'm on the fence on whether or not to purchase a set the English Subtitles (or lack of) is what makes my decision for me. ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars Smallville At Its Best
    First and Second season i watched and was disappointed by the repetitious plot and episodes. Kyrptonite rock involved in every episode? So I slowly grew out of the show, always keeping a vigilant watch for something exciting (Flash apperance!). After hearing about Season 5, I knew I had to own it. Aquaman, Brainiac, Cyborg, and Zod! It's a must have season. This season finally focuses on the origins of Superman/Kal-El/Clark. You can see the emergings on a young Superman in this season. He fights off serial killers, the supernatural, and the occational intergalatic attack. This can only get better going into next season. If you were like me, not truly into the show because of the lame story archs of past seasons, this one will recapture your original interest in the show: Seeing Superman in Action.
    4-0 out of 5 stars Why no English Captions
    I love Smallville, I think Allison Mack is the most gorgeous woman around, my only complaint is that this Smallville set, and many other recent sets have decided to not include English subtitles or caption. As someone who is slightly hard of hearing, I like being able to see what people are saying, but can't with this set (or the Supernatural Season One set), what gives!?

    5-0 out of 5 stars Finally some action!
    I know for most of us comic book geeks SMALLVILLE for the first four seasons was whether hit and miss (and for me was more on the "miss" side).This left me not really wanting to continue my viewing of the show into the 5th seasonl.Of course my friends all told me I was nits and that I needed to start watching as characters like aquaman and cyborg had begun to appear on the show in cameo roles.I still with held from watching until I saw the DVD available.

    5-0 out of 5 stars The Best Trilogy Ever!!!
    X-Men, X-Men United and X-Men "The Last Stand" are simply spectacular! The cast,the characters, the special effects, the story, the action scenes,and everyhting else seems to work to make these movies the best movie trilogy ever!!!.I have seen lots of movies in my life, but nothing compares and comes close to X-Men.
    5-0 out of 5 stars World War X
    In X1 there was the attempt by Magneto (played superbly by Ian McKellan) to convert humans to mutants. In X2 it was a plot by a corrupt Fed to kill all the mutants using Xavier (Patrick Stewart). In X3 a "cure" is found that makes all mutants human.
    4-0 out of 5 stars Great adaptation of classic heroes.
    While it'd be impossible for any films to do justice to Marvel's legendary team of super-powered mutants, I really feel that these films are almost as good an adaptation as we could have hoped for.The casting was strong, the action was solid, most of the characters were portrayed memorably, and the stories largely stayed true to the spirit of the X-men. The first film felt a little rushed due to the sheer number of characters introduced, but all things considered it was a very enjoyable film for both the uninitiated and old-school X-fans. Hugh Jackman was spot-on as Wolverine, the most iconic X-man and arguably the hardest to cast and Famke Jansen was a fantastic Jean Grey for at least the first two films.Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellan (Magneto), and Rebecca Romjin-Stamos (Mystique) also delivered outstanding performances playing their respective comic icons.The story was a nice update of the comics and followed Rogue's induction into Professor X's school for mutants and Magneto's first big terrorist attack on mankind. All-in-all, a satisfying start to the series.The second film really kicked the series into gear and introduced more of our favorite X-men, including Nightcrawler (whose opening sequence was the highlight of the film), Pyro, and Iceman. The story involves Wolverine's past and the government's attempts to control the ever-growing mutant population.The result was one of the greatest comic book films ever made that firmly cemented the developing series as one to watch.For some ridiculous reason, at this point the powers that be decided that the third film would be the last.This was a bad choice that made no kind of sense, upset the films' fans, and severly hurt the quality of the third film.Ah, the third film; a mixed bag to say the least.The plot deals with two classic storylines involving a cure for mutants and the legendary Dark Phoenix.My personal list of complaints is a long one, but I'll just hit a few in this review."X-men: The Last Stand" tries to cram two movies' worth of material into one film that is too short to begin with.The introduction of the Phoenix was obviously forced and no care was taken in this storyline which is one of the all-time classics in comic history, and the result is several pointless character deaths and gaps in logic, like why an all-powerful entity is content to hang out at an aging terrorist's side and just look menacing for most of the story.The series' former darling, Rogue, is reduced to a brooding plot-nuisance, has no real influence on the story, plus she never gains the fantastic powers she obtained in the comics that made her such a powerhouse of a character and a personal favorite of mine.On the other hand, more classic characters are given parts such as fan-favorite Kitty Pride and Collossus (both of which had cameos in X2), Angel, Multiple Man, Beast (played nicely by Kelsey Grammer), and the almighty Juggernaut (whose battle with Kitty was as awesome as it was unexpected).But as many characters as there were that made it into the three films, there were so many great ones that were reduced to either tiny, unnamed cameos in the series, or forgotten altogether. No Gambit, Emma Frost, Sinister, Apocalypse, Scarlet Witch, or Havok to name just a few.Furthermore, the final film's resolution in extremely unsatisfying and leaves little doubt that this franchise as we know it is dead, though they do leave us a glimmer of hope.There are talks of Wolverine and Magneto spin-offs and possibly a New Mutants project; promising ideas, but hardly a substitute for the ensemble we know and love.Still, in the end, I really did enjoy X3 as a film as it did have several great stand-up-and-cheer moments; it just upset me as a fan of the comics and as a fan of the the movies because there wss so much more that could have and should have been done with this series.In the end, whether you're a fan of the comics, the cartoons, or just a fan of sci-fi or fun movies in general, you really shouldn't miss out on these three movies.The series is full of memorable characters, fantastic battles, sly humor, references for hard-core fans, and, of course, the classic X-men social commentaries about discrimination and the importance of both individuality and cohesiveness.There doesn't appear to be much in the way of special features from the first two films on this edition; but for about $10 a flick, I'll let it slide since it is still a hell of a bargain.Highly recommended set. ...

    2-0 out of 5 stars Movie is great, but don't bother with the Collector's Edition!
    As a DVD collector, I was more than willing to fork over the extra ten dollars to pick up the X-Men: The Last Stand Collector's Edition. Unforntunately, I have never been more disappointed.
    4-0 out of 5 stars Wrap Up
    I enjoyed this movie for what it was.I also enjoyed the first two movies as well.They seemed to depend a lot more on characterization and the human/mutant discriminations.This one seems to go more for the slam bam action more than story.The mutant battle at the end of the movie is great.This movie kills off several major characters, makes some major changes to others, as well as introducing us to new major characters Beast, Angel and Juggernaut.To quickly sum it up, Jena Grey returns from the dead as Phoenix, a not so nice but very powerful mutant.Professor X and Magneto are at odds as to what to do with her.Meanwhile a mutant boy who can take away the mutant ability is used to create a cure for mutants.Some see this as a savior, others look at it like genocide.Thats when the real battles start.Enjoyable action film with great special effects.Though this wraps up the overall X-Men trilogy nicely, there was a slight tease at the end of more possibilities.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Superb, it doesn't get any better than this!
    I loved this movie and cannot understand why anyone who is truly a sci-fi fan could not love this movie.It was action packed with great special effects and a very well thought out plot.This combination is almost impossible to find in movies today.Nothing, since the Terminator II can compare to this movie.Hats off to everyone involved in this fantastic production.For those of you who can not apppreciate a gem sci-fi such as this, stick to something you know. ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars Astounding
    I am not sure how they are going to keep the momentum of this wonderful show going.The characters are stronger and the plot even better than season one.I found myself unable to stop thinking about the masterfully done plot of this series for days.Not since Babylon 5, has there been this kind of quality in TV.I am amazed.Wonderful!The best show on TV period!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Starting with the cliffhangers of the first season
    As if there weren't enough cliffhangers at the end of the first season, another one is thrown in the mix to complicate matters.We start with Adama being in critical condition, a team is stranded on Kobol, and Starbuck is back on Caprica with Helo and another Sharon while looking for an arrow.Then a jump ends with the rest of the fleet, including the doctor, being sent somewhere other than where Galactica ends up.It takes several episodes to wind all of these things up which technically make it the slowest part of the season in terms of time passing in the series.
    4-0 out of 5 stars Great entertainment for fans of the show
    I have waited patiently until the release of the second half of Season 2 to buy this "2.0" set, comprising of the first 10 episodes of the show's second season, hoping in vain for a better whole season package or a cheaper bundle deal. Alas, we didn't get either of those, and I would wait no longer.

    2-0 out of 5 stars Poor ending to a great series
    I'm really surprised how many Alias fans are giving this final season decent, even glowing, reviews.I found it completely disappointing, which is especially frustrating considering the show's ongoing storyline.With Rimbaldi's "endgame", and Sydney's complicated relationships with her family and Vaughn, four years in the making, I expected a worthy ending to these stories, and was let down.The prior year's cliffhanger, with Vaughn's "I have a secret" speech and car crash, was exciting, but hinted that the show may be about to jump the shark.In it's fifth season, this proved to be the case.I won't spend a lot of time repeating other reviewers' complaints, but I agree with them completely:the new characters were miserable, and even worse, the Rimbaldi plotline that drove the series did not come to a satisfying conclusion.Alias has been one of my favorite shows, and I still think Jennifer Garner's performance as Sydney is some of the finest acting I've seen on television, but its ending just doesn't do it justice at all.I doubt I'll even buy this DVD set, which is a shame because it almost makes me regret buying the other seasons.

    2-0 out of 5 stars what a way to go....
    I hated how this season ended.Everything seemed very calculated and rushed in order to end the show, and I came out with more questions than when I first started watching Alias.There are way too many lose ends and that they didn't even attempt to explain, like at the very beginning of the season why would Vaughn refer to himself as a "bad guy" and hide his investigation from Sydney, and why is there a prophet five? Prophet five seems like the already used and abused Alliance.
    5-0 out of 5 stars Alias, like "Rambaldi", goes on forever ( in our hearts)
    As an addicted Alias fan, I can say that I have watched every episode of all five seasons (some numerous times), and I do not find some of the incongruities in season five that others have commented on.For example, how can any of us forget Sydney's tirade to Vaughan in the beginning of season 3, when she tells him that if he had been the one that had "died", she would have waited and believed?From that moment on, anything that happened to Vaughan (such as his supposed death in season 5)or Sydney could not be considered out of reach for this show.I mourned for Sydney's loss of Vaughan like anyone else, but I was not disappointed for the way it was handled.Michael Vartan could not be replaced in this show any more than John Ritter could be replaced in "Eight Rules".Yes, I found that Rachel Nichols and Balthazar Getty added little to the show, but that wasn't their fault.They were treading in shoes that could not be filled by other characters.I LOVED the SPYGRANDPA Jack moments, such as when watching his baby granddaughter (and in his usual deadpan)saying "Apparently I'm funny". David Anders "Sark" was underused in season 5 but was fabulous when he was used.He showed a glimmer of humanity after his tryst with a certain agent. Loved that! Through all the twists and turns, Alias always stayed true to the family dynamics, (skewed as they were in this show).If the show had revealed Irina or Sloane different than the way they ended up, those would have been incongruous plot twists. I absolutely recommend season 5, all seasons of Alias are by far the best of the best shows on television.You must watch them all, in order preferably!Thanks to all of you involved in Alias for providing great, high quality entertainment! ...
