Hulk Vs. Wolverine: DVD Review

After I heard that the Marvel animated feature was headed to stores on DVD in January, I became ecstatic. After having seen the promotional trailer online, I felt that this DVD would indeed be something special and I was right. Having purchased the DVD immediately the very day it was released, I decided that it had to be watched in the right setting and environment. Looking at the DVD features and specifications on the reverse side of the package, I was delighted to see that the audio had an option for 5.1 digital.

The DVD itself consisted of 2 features. The first being Hulk vs. Wolverine at a running time of 37 minutes and the second feature being Hulk vs. Thor at 47 minutes.

I slipped the disc in, sat back and awaited the carnage!

The first feature tells the story of Logan (Wolverine) who is sent by the Canadian military to stop the Hulk who is tearing up the Canadian countryside in a fit of rage. Wolverine's orders are to stop the Hulk before the Hulk endangers more lives during his path of destruction.

Wolverine ultimately catches up with Bruce Banner (Hulk's alter ego) and assaults him while looking for answers on the whereabouts of the Hulk. This causes Banner's transformation and soon all hell breaks loose as both Wolverine and Hulk engage in a brutally violent and bloody battle that truly pushes the boundaries of the PG 13 rating.

After a good dose of blood and flying limbs in the wilderness, the violence spreads over into the Weapon X facility where even more bloodshed ensues as Sabretooth, Omega Red, Lady Deathstrike, and Deadpool get in on the action. Overall it appears as if the Hulk is more of a back story in this flick as most of the emphasis is placed on Wolverine's enmity with Weapon X but there is more than enough action and violence to satisfy any Hulk or Wolverine fan.
