X-Men - The Legend of Wolverine

Amazon.com

This animated anthology focuses on Wolverine's mysterious past and his heroic efforts at heavy-duty anger management. "Out of the Past," parts 1 and 2, find Professor Xavier's most challenging team member (real name: Logan) lured into a trap by former lover Lady Deathstryke, who seeks nasty revenge for the unintended destruction of her scientist father. Emotions run high and Logan's bad luck seems endless, but he is not without fellow-mutant friends here. (These episodes tell us one version of how Wolverine's body gained its interior metal frame.) "Nightcrawler" is an interesting variation on Frankenstein, in which Wolverine and X-Men newcomer/cleric Nightcrawler are attacked by a mob of paranoid villagers. "The Lotus and the Steel" finds Logan seeking inner peace at a Buddhist monastery in Japan, only to find himself in a Seven Samurai-derived plot. Included on the DVD are good special features, including a Stan Lee interview and bonus episode "The Final Decision." --Tom Keogh

"Sometimes, de claws slip!".......2007-05-16

I've adored this show since the '90s and these are some great episodes--some weird alien ship and something that eats people's consciousness, one about Nightcrawler, some Wolverine claw action, and one about the Sentinels and Master Mold. "That is illogical. Mutants ARE humans!"

Great stuff, but please, put out the box sets! People will buy it, I can assure you! It'll be #1 on my get list! PUT OUT THE BOX SETS!!!! PLEEEEASE!! PLEEEASE!!

Not worth it!.......2007-05-12

First of all, this collection has nothing to do with the legend of Wolverine. We X-men fans deserve better! So many episodes were released on tape but few on DvD. They need to release each season. The is stories are great,animation is acceptable and wondeful voice acting! Please, don't let us wait any longer! Better for them to realease this out on dvd! X-Men - Savage Land/Strange Heart/Dark Phoenix - Special Edition

X-treme action.......2006-09-11

I got this film based on the cover. I thought there would be a good magneto/wolverine fight. there ISNT! But its still a fantastic film. If you're like me, a die hard x-fan, you'll see all the errors, but it still is good. The one episode that i had to fastforward through was Nightcrawler. It isn't good and it strayed 1 step too far from its comic counterpart. This film's good if you wanna see a quick, action packed x-film. It brings in good villains (Deathstrike, the reavers, the soul slurper) and good fights. The addition of the soul slurper was wrong though, cuz he doesnt appear till dark phoenix. That entire episode with the slurper is a great lead up to the shi'ar and dark phoenix. This films worth every penny.

When?.......2006-05-30

I want to know when they will release an entire season of the X-Men series.They did it with thundercats and its about time they should do it for X-men.This was an amazing series that I wish I could own and they don't seem to be putting it out correctly.I don't think I will be buying any intallments of the X-men series until they come out with entire seasons of them.I think someone should start a petition because I think thats what got the Thundercats series on dvd.

Oh man (salivation).......2005-07-27

This DVD featuring the best of 1990s X-Men cartoons about Wolverine contains a great selection of cartoon. I love 1990s Marvel cartoons because they actually remain true to the comic itself for the most part. What is this Evolution crud? Anyway, I just think they should come out with all of the seasons of the 1990s X-Men cartoon. And while they're at it, they should come out with all the Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and Hulk cartoons from the 90s. Come on Marvel! Stop depriving us of what's rightfully ours. We buy your wonderful comics and your...ugh movies (Hulk, X-2, Fantastic Four) to name a few, just give us our seasons once and for all...that's an order!
