X-Men: Wolverine's Story
Review by Stu




Review:
Disney’s clueless X-Men DVD treatment continued here, but this time, only region 2 was “blessed” with the disc.

Much like the previous X-Men disc they released, it’s a randomly selected Wolverine themed disc, but it struggles to even do this properly. Why the hell they decided to include the Reunion 2 part story, I’ll never know. It features on practically every other X-Man more than it does Wolverine, and let’s face it, this show doesn’t have its shortage of Wolverine episodes. Old Soldiers, Cold Vengeance, Red Dawn… there’s at least a good half dozen episodes that would’ve highlighted Wolverine better than Reunion.

Thankfully, the other 2 episode selected, Repo Man and Weapon X, Lies and Videotape are both 5 Star episodes, and are arguably the 2 greatest Wolverine episodes of the show.

The audio and picture are both fine, but the features are so very lacking compared to the original X-Men disc. There’s a small Stan Lee Soapbox, and that’s it. It often feels like buying these discs are a waste of time, but I own every single disc release that Disney has done so far. Hopefully, God willing, this will be the last of them.
