"Batista: The Animal Unleashed" Review

I'm still debating on whether I write a separate review for Batista's first DVD released in 2009 (which I believe had the same name as this one), but either way, you'll see me make several comparisons between the two DVDs in regards to which is better and where this one measures up to that one. Let me state right off the bat that I'm a fan of Batista's and that's what opted me to check out his latest DVD (though I'll do my best to remain unbiased while writing this review). I own his first one and thoroughly enjoyed it to the point where I would say it is fairly underrated. That said, it was mind boggling to me when it was announced many months ago that a second DVD was going to be released on Batista that would also feature a documentary. I understand capitalizing off the buzz from his WWE return in January, but seriously, how much more could you touch upon that wasn't already talked about in the first DVD?

To put it in perspective, Batista's first DVD was released in late 2009, mere months before he departed the company. The documentary covered basically everything from his early childhood to his start in the business to his feud with Undertaker in 2007. He hadn't done much of note from that point forward aside from leaving the company in 2010. Of course, this documentary briefly discussed his departure and what he did during his time off. Most of the movie focused on his return to WWE this past year, his mindset, getting back in shape and more. The biggest differences between the two documentaries, however? This one was barely 40 minutes long.
