In association with Amazon.com - Worst Animated Movie EverBoring ! Boring ! Boring ! Frankly the XMen Animated Cartoon series in any one episode was better drawn and more interesting than this movie. It was sappy and silly. Rating: - Taking a horrible, kid-oriented modern approachFirst off, I love Iron Man and almost all of the Marvel superheroes. I was excited when I heard about not only the live action Iron Man film coming next May but an animated Iron Man film coming to DVD. I just watched it last night and I'm very, very upset. I've noticed that the American child audience is in love with Japanese Anime cartoons. You see it every day on the Cartoon Network and now, Marvel followed suit with the animated Iron Man flick. Oh, how the mighty have fallen, Iron Man has become Anime. Even the story takes place in China! It's not about Iron Man and War Machine, it's Iron Man and ancient Chinese spirits! The only notable thing about this movie is that the basic origin of Iron Man is here but this time, a Chinese gang has kidnapped him and he has to battle Chinese elemental gods. Wow. Nice going Marvel. Ruin a great superhero. Even the special features aren't worth it. There's a feature called "The Origin of Iron Man" which leads you to believe it's about the true origin of Iron Man but it's actually about the origin of the movie. It's basically the making of the movie. They mention a bit of the real origin(Tony was a munitions dealer in 'Nam, stepped on a mine and a piece of scrap metal gets him right in the chest...we know the rest) but it's not what you'd expect. They wanted the movie current, so they went with ancient China! C'Mon! How many times have they reverted to the trite plot of ancient Chinese spirits?!! Overall, if you really like Iron Man, rent this or just borrow it from somebody you know that might have it. It's really not good. Rating: - Nicely doneIt's a well done mix between CGI and hand drawn anymation and also it's a modern way to present a legendary Marvel hero. Recomended for all kind of Marvel fans. Rating: - I AM IRON MAN!I thought this was a pretty good DVD. I think Marvel does a good job at the animation and also at making it interesting enough for adults and not on an insulting 'kiddy' level. One thing that you will find with these Marvel DVD's (at least the ones I have seen) they are not a 30 minute action fest like you would see on Saturday morning. They are really into telling the story so some might think it moves slowly. I like this cause it is more like a movie and less like a cheap roller coaster ride. Rating: - Excellent intro to Iron ManI really liked the animation. The story, though diiferent in many ways from that of the comic, is very good. I have watched it several times and I continue to enjoy it. DVD : The Invincible Iron Man Get your The Invincible Iron Man Christmas presents today! |
