Summary: Here we go again
Comment: 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!

Summary: If you liked the X-Men movies, you should love this
Comment: 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: Not the Real Deal
Comment: 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: X-Citing
Comment: X-Men: Evolution is my favorite cartoon on tv right now, with good reason.Unexpected Changes contains the first three episodes of this awesome series. In the first, Strategy X, Scott's powers are accidently unleashed at a football game while tying to defend another mutant named Todd. Meanwhile, Kurt Wagner adjusts to life at the Xavier Institute, with some interesting results. In The X-Impulse, Kitty Pryde's powers develop one night, and she meets Lance, a fellow mutant who will be a very important figure in her life even after they're recruited to opposite sides. In the final episode, Rogue Recruit, a young goth named Rogue develops a dangerous power with unlimited possibilities, and Mystique makes sure she'll never join the X-Men.
While these episodes aren't as good as some of the one's in the second season, it's a strong start to a cool show. The animation is lovely, the music is catchy, and the characters are great. I highly recommend X-Men: Evolution!
