I know there are threads about "The Last Stand" all ready but I wanted to make a quick separate thread about Wal-Mart's bonus disc they're packaging with it this week. I felt fans should know what they are buying BEFOREHAND so they won't be disappointed and felt it shouldn't be buried in the other threads. If HTF feels this thread should be closed/merged, I understand.
There is a bonus disc packaged with it called "X-Men Revealed." However it is NOT what the packaging claims to be.
On the back of the bonus disc's packaging it says it contains the following:
Quote:
Fox Movie channel presents casting session Director Brett Ratner, Executive producer Stan Lee, Actors Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and many others talk about their experiences in bringing the X-Men movies to the big screen. The actors reveal how they landed the roles, learned about their characters' histories and personalities and then physically trained for the parts that bring X-Men The Last Stand to life.
Fox Movie Channel presents life after film school Sit in on a revealing, intimate conversation between X-Men The Last Stand producer Ralph Winter and three film students. He shares advice for aspiring filmmakers, insider stories, personal insights and amazing on-set experiences gained during the production of all three X-Men films!

It lists the running time at 36 minutes.
NONE of that is on the bonus disc. Instead the bonus disc features a featurette running about 1hr and 8min looking at the history of the X-Men comics.
Now I'm sure this is great of fans of the comic book but I bought the 2 pack at Wal-Mart for the behind-the-scenes material for the
movie not a look at the comics. Again, the DVD is obviously false advertising. I would've opted for the cheaper single disc if I had known what the bonus disc really contained. I don't know what happened with FOX, if they mispressed the disc with the wrong content or changed their minds about the content and never corrected the packaging but I'm kinda pissed off about it.
