Ultimate Avengers - The Movie
- Alright Avengers movie. Bad Ultimates series.This movie is kind of hard to review. Because it's two things. It's both an Ultimates movie and an Avengers movie.
As an adaptation of the Ultimates this is absolutely terrible. This loses everything that makes that series good. Mature and updated/realistic take son the classic characters. Dealings with political, ethical, and social issues. And great dialouge. You'll find none of that in here. And one of the things that really agravates me is that in the special features the creators are like "The opening scene is almost panel for panel the opening of the comics. But it's really not important how much you can match up panel for panel" Yeah that's because that scene is the ONLY one that's really taken from the Ultimates. That and fighting Hulk at the end. This is really just a joke as an adaptation.
As an adapation of the Avengers it's ok. I mean it's nothing really great but it's ok.
I belive another reviewer nailed it when they said this is too dark for most kids and too childish for older fans. All and all I'd say ether get it from teh library or the bargain bin.

- Animated AvengersI'm a big fan of animated superhero shows, so I jumped at this DVD. The movie was good but somewhat disappointing. The story starts off very well with a brief history of Captain America then around 3/4 of the way through, I lost interest. I still enjoyed the movie but I guess I was expecting more.
I guess my main disappointment was with the characters. I liked Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. Black Widow was okay but I didn't really see how she fit in with a group of "super" heroes. I found the characters of Bruce Banner and Hank Pym to be extremely annoying with all their whining. The Wasp was also a questionable character. I don't have any really problem with her but neither did I really like her. I wish they had chosen another Avengers line-up to do a movie about. I'd rather have seen Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, or the Scarlet Witch.
The animation and voice actors were good. The WWII battle scenes and the final fight scene are really well done. The storyline is interesting but the ending seemed a little rushed. One minute the team is in a sort of training phase and everyone is bickering then, all of a sudden, its the final fight sequence. My favorite parts are those featuring Thor. The dramatic opera music that plays when he is in action is just perfect and he seems to be the funniest/most entertaining of all the heroes. Unfortunately, he only appears for a few minutes, altogether, and I'd really love to see more about him.
As for special features, there is a Trivia Track that you can play during the movie. Instead of having an audio commentary, there are bubbles that pop up containing facts about The Avengers comic books, the characters, or the making of the movie. For me, they made the movie a little more enjoyable. There is also a featurette, called "Avengers Assemble," which really has nothing to do with the movie. It features comic book artists and writers discussing The Avengers comic books. It's somewhat interesting but I suspect that long-time Avengers fans will appreciate it more than the average viewer.
"The Ultimate Voice Talent Search" features videos of Avengers fans submitting auditions for the film. Some are a bit strange but most are funny. There is a brief preview for the sequel, Ultimate Avengers II, which has commentary by the film's creators. There is also a DVD-Rom game, "What Avenger Are You?" which asks you a series of questions. Based on your answers, it tells you which Avenger you most resemble. I took the test 3 times, giving slightly different answers and came up with Mantis, Mockingbird, and Starfox.
Overall, it's a decent production but I'm hoping that future releases will be better.

- Based on the series of Marvel comics called The UltimatesIt's been out for awhile, now you can get 1 and 2 together in a BluRay package. It's just like the DVD, except it's one disc instead of two, and the coating on BluRay is that much better, hence more durable, then on the DVD. If you don't have both of them already, consider this a good way to go.
