X-Men Quadrilogy (X-Men / X2: X-Men United / X-Men: The Last Stand / X-Men Origins: Wolverine) [Blu-ray]

Quadruple Bill of feature-length action adventures based on the Marvel comic strip.

In ‘X-Men’ (2000), mutants Charles Xavier and Magneto are former friends, but look set to become mortal enemies when fascist US senator Robert Frank Kelly calls for the registration of all humans with abnormal powers.

In the sequel, ‘X-Men 2’ (2003), Professor Charles Xavier, Wolverine and the X-Men find themselves in the firing line after a failed assassination attempt on the President points the finger at the school.

In the third film, ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ (2006), the mutants are given the option of giving up their powers and becoming human after a private laboratory supported by the government finds a way to use the DNA of a powerful boy to correct the mutants.

The fourth film in the franchise, ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ (2009) is a prequel to the other three films, and follows Wolverine, who, some 20 years before the action of the original ‘X-Men’ movie, is seeking revenge on his half-brother Victor Creed for the death of his girlfriend, and eventually signs up to the ominous Weapon X programme.
