Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

David Geerts let me explain the main motivation of the evil scientist behind this movie after not good enough for his girlfriend black widow, the man decides to fake his death, join a terrorist organization, kidnaps people and experiment on them.then later after he talks to girlfriend he immediately changes his mind and tries to destroy everything he made. so its to bad for the guy that he never talked to anybody about his plan or just thought it over for a minute over the many months it must took to do this.oh there more wrong with this movie like normal humans walking through fire, guards not getting on radio when there buddies are dead, there so many things wrong this movie just save yourself and to people who say they liked this movie i don't get u, how its like watching a grown man slowly eaten by ants and just letting it happen how can you defend this movie! its worse then batman and robin it worse then German scat bondage porn

dbnguyen85 As far as Marvel animation goes, this movie generally looks good. It allows us to visit two characters sadly left behind in Marvel's cinematic success, and it does them some justice in a reasonably interesting plot. There are some problems of execution though. Black Widow's voice doesn't seem to fit, and is somewhat jarring from the very start. Either the actress didn't quite get it or she wasn't effectively directed, but it just doesn't seem to connect appropriately. Really, the voice acting for her character shines most during the tragic romance plot, which is unfortunately very trite and grating. Her part in it may be fine, but the villain's motivation is highly questionable as he sought to be "strong enough to be worthy of her." That might be fine in a simpler story with more innocent characters, but when it's a story involving Black Widow and Punisher, both dark characters who should be well steeped in matters of betrayal and cynicism, it feels like a stretch. Where the movie shines is in its portrayal of the Punisher, who stays consistent to his code throughout the course of the story. Black Widow has some character development for the purposes of the story, but Punisher stays a solid rock throughout. So it's definitely watchable. The action and animation are fun and well done, accentuating the particular skills of the two protagonists. The story beats hit their marks, but just happen to be ones that are more out-of-character for Black Widow. So if you have a couple of hours to spare, it's reasonably entertaining. You also don't necessarily need it in your life.

mister R . this masterpiece is a bitingly satirical take on the superhero anime adaptationism.it does a hilariously great job emulating the distinct flaws that the genre is known for; from the lack of emotion and movement in the characters' faces, to the unnecessary, egregious and distracting 3d animation, to the pointless romantic interest turned villain plot line which no one who watches these films cares about.i especially liked the out of nowhere appearances from the hulk, iron man, thor the god guy and that annoying nerd kid, it made my inner fanboy write fanfiction with delight.i respect the representation of homosexuals in the form of the punisher who wore eyeshadow and black lipstick a lot in the moviealso it sucked 10/10

xamtaro Not content on dominating the big screen with a connected Marvel cinematic universe, Marvel now aims to create a connected anime universe. Avengers Confidential is a loose sequel to to Iron Man: Rise of Technovore. This time, Iron Man takes a back seat to previous supporting characters of Punisher and Black Widow. Following their debacle in Karachi, Frank Castle aka The Punisher, has returned to taking out organised crime lords. But when one of his hits crosses path with S.H.I.E.L.D, Frank is taken into custody. He has stumbled onto a vast international conspiracy involving an old Russian supersoldier programme and mind control. Unwillingly teamed up with s.H.I.E.L.D agent Black Widow, Frank has to deal with superpowered foes way out of his league while Widow must confront a shadowy figure from her past.It is an intriguing story. Well written and feeling like it came straight out of the comic books. No surprise there that it was written by comic book writer Majorie Liu. This is a cool way to tie The Punisher into the greater world of Marvel anime characters, themselves already sharing a lot in common with the live action movie universe. In live action, The Punisher's gritty mafia/street crime stories just do not mix with the Avengers' high flying superheroics. If they cannot do it in live action, anime would have to suffice.Credit goes to this movie for coming up with an interesting reason why the superpowered Avengers remain out of the picture. Since you have a villain who perfected mind control, the last thing you can risk is your most powerful heroes turning against you. So they get plain ol human Frank Castle, The Punisher, and plain ol human Black Widow. Except, the "plain ol human" bit is conveniently forgotten about 10 minutes in where both Punisher and Black Widow are able to go hand to hand with super soldiers, dodge bullets, punch people through walls and take injuries that would kill any normal human.Now, this being Japanese anime, Marvel has allowed Madhouse Studios (creators of classics like Ninja Scroll, Trigun and the rest of Marvel's anime output) to sprinkle their own eastern touch into this tale. The result......a mixed bag. First is the screenplay, written by Mitsutaka Hirota of Ramen fighter Miki and YuGiOh Zexal fame/infamy. It is a stiffled screenplay, clichéd and lacking any of the wit or character interplay that marvel's live action universe excels in.This is not helped by the mediocre voice acting from both Japanese and English actors. Punisher growls and grumbles his way through the movie lacking chemistry with Black Widow; herself portrayed more as a straightforward hero with a tragic past romance than a sultry manipulative secret agent whom no one can guess what she is planning to do next. This same screenplay turns our main antagonist into some love scorned brat with a serious inferiority complex who subjected himself to experiments to become a superpowered stalker after his old flame.Once again, Marvel anime serves as a showcase of what anime always gets wrong. Hyper detailed artwork is ruined by animation shortcuts. First time Director Kenichi Shimizu who watched one too many Michael bay movies peppers this show with shaky cameras, extreme close ups and long lingering shots focused on Black Widow's shiny leather clad chest and bum areas. Nonetheless, the character designs look straight out of Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust with long curvy sharp featured women, square jawed bulky men and a shadow for every nook cranny and crease on a character. They look beautiful.So in keeping with the usual Marvel Anime standards, we have another visually stunning little movie with a decent story but little else in terms of the script, characters and animation. Better than Iron Man: Rise of Technovore of course, and much better than that CGI atrocity Iron Man/Hulk: Heroes United. Yet no where near DC and Warner Premiere's most mediocre efforts.
