DVD Review: X-Men Volumes 3 & 4

We had a blast watching this 4-disc (combined) set of Marvel cartoons based on original X-men comic book stories. You might be asking why a Disney site is reviewing the X-Men animated series. The set is being released through Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and with all of the recent discussions concerning Disney’s four-billion dollar acquisition, it seemed like it would be fun! Good family viewing with my boys who are in the perfect age range for superheroes.

Ideally, these discs are for X-Men fans, comic book fans and superhero fans. If your only exposure to the X-Men has been from the fantastic theatrical releases, then these cartoons will shock you. Wolverine retains his gruff attitude but it is difficult to take him serious when he wears the comic book outfit. The stories are a lot of fun and will provide hours of entertainment.
