Summary: Super perfect!
Review: Can't go wrong liking this new series from Marvel. Not exactly true to the comics, but who needs to hear the same stories again and again? This is all new good stuff and worthwhile to get hooked on. It got me back into X-Men and Marvel again. Beautiful nearly-like-anime art and animation too, buy this for the perfect audio and picture quality and just because it has Nightcrawler in it. If they didn't have NC in this series, it would flop like a dead fish. All hail to the fuzzy German elf!:) Don't miss the 2nd season coming out in Sept and the comic as well!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This show is so wonderful!
Review: I found this show acidently on the telly, the first thing that caught my eye was the animation. It is splendid and adorable! you dont lose any of the chaceters you love, but theres a new twist to some of them that make it really enjoyable for even us old comic-book fans! For you Nightcrawler lovers look no futher! it doesnt get any elf-yer then this. really a great show and more then worth buying for your everday enjoyment!

Summary: Not the Real Deal
Review: I'am a huge X-Men fan and Ultimate X-men is not the real thing. First of all you do not even have the original five all togehther that is Beast, Jean, Cyclops, Iceman, and angel. Second of all Wolverine is the most deadly mutant ever and in this show they make him seem like a softie. In the comics he kills men by the hundreds. He knows all forms of combat and here he does not do anyhting. For anybody who really wants to know the real X-Men and the real Wolverine. I suggest reading Essential Uncanny X-Men that includes the original five, The Essential X-Men that includes wolverine, colossus, storm etc.To see wolverine do what he is capable of and what he was made to do read Essential Wolverine 1-3. You can also find everything on X-Men at Marvel website and that is marvel.com. So once again if you really want to get into X-Men and Wolverine buy the comics not this show. The original Show that aired 1992 you can find on ABC Family on the weekends at 10:00 in the morning. People are trying to get that show on DVD.

Summary: If you liked the X-Men movies, you should love this
Review: It's certainly true that X-Men: Evolution is toned down in terms of violence. It's aimed more for PG-13, not R as the other rater seems to want.

But it's still an excellent show, and anyone who can enjoy the movies should certainly enjoy the animated series. If you hated the movies due to inaccuracies with the comic books then you won't like this series either. The characters in the series are nearly identical to the ones from the movies, with the exception of Nightcrawler. In the movies, he was blue and covered with self-inflicted tattoo scarring. In the series he's blue, fuzzy and lighthearted. Wolverine, Cyclops, Xavier, Magneto, etc, are characters you'll be immediately familiar with from the movies.

Is this a show intended to capture the attention of X-Men comic book loyalists? Probably not.

It's a show about a group of young people coming into mutant powers who find themselves thrust into the role of superhero.... or supervillian, depending on if they chose to join the X-Men or ally with Magneto. The animation style is colorful and contemporary, the voice acting is excellent, there's enough action and laughs to entertain the younger crowd and enough character development and plotline to keep an older crowd entertained as well. It's X-Men in a format friendly enough for primetime. The character interactions are much richer than you typically find in animated superhero shows and it's just an all around great show.

Like any book (or comic book) converted to film, don't get so hung up on what got changed or "left out" and this will be a series you can really enjoy.

Also, check out the boxed set which has all of season 1.

Summary: Marvel's animation shows still don't work.....
Review: It's true of this and many other animation shows on today, the animation never makes the characters come alive, they always look, walk, and talk like badly drawn cartoons and nothing more. The stories are no better either, they act they were written from many of the cheap comics stories they write these days, If you can call that writing. Anyway this show was recently cancelled and in the last show it looked like everyone had died in the season cliff hanger (which now turns out to the the series finale). No big loss.

Summary: Here we go again
Review: This DVD was wonderful. It's not meant to be real, it's just X-men for the next generation, those who don't remember the comics or the original cartoon. It's for kids. The stories are amusing, and the romantic subtext between certain characters makes me giggle (I look for the romance in *everything*, even the back of a cheerios box... it's sad...). The added scenes that WB didn't think were mature enough for original airing were also a nice perk. I plan to collect the entire series. See you Volume 2!

Rating: 5 stars
