Disney has come under fire for significantly cutting bonus features on the UK home media release of Avengers Assemble.

It was revealed last month that director Joss Whedon's commentary had been cut from the UK release due to time constraints and fans have now taken to online retailer Amazon to voice their frustration.

One fan said: "Was fully intending to get this until I noticed that all the special features have been cut out. Way to go Marvel/Disney.

"Why release something like this - a disk that was going to sell insane numbers - and waste the opportunity by gutting it? All you're doing is pissing people off. No way I'll be buying this, might try and import the US release."

Another added: "When we the public were being primed for the introduction of Blu-Ray, one of the primary benefits of the greater capacity in relation to DVD was that there would be access to far more features and extras such as directors' commentaries.

"Yes they were going to be considerably more expensive than DVD but you got so much more for your money, it wasn't just better sound and audio.

"However, here we see despite the significantly higher premium over DVD, this Blu-Ray offers zero extras, not because they're not available or won't fit on the disc, but because Disney know many individuals will have been waiting for this disc and will pre-order, unaware of the omissions, and of course Disney will then release a 'Special Edition' including everything they should include now."

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has also confirmed that it is investigating claims that the UK home media release is an edited version of the film.

Responding to a user concern on Twitter, the BBFC wrote: "Thanks, we're investigating. If a work has been altered after classification it would be in breach of the VRA"

Reports indicate that the UK release has edited the scene where Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) is stabbed with a spear; completely omitting the spear penetrating his body.
