Cortechba Overrated

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

DCfan I saw Ultimate Avengers two years ago on the same week end as the second one. I just found both of the movies massively insulting to the Marvel Universe. The First and second movies were just plain tedious because apparently in this universe when the war was over, Bucky doesn't become the Winter Solider but instead he retires and steels Steve Rogers wife/girlfriend. Oh but it doesn't stop there Hank Pym is more or less like Scott Lang in this universe because he is a massive jerk to the avengers and his main priority is his wife and only his wife for example in the first mission when the avengers were in trouble and he heard Janet scream. But in the end Ant Man makes a good sacrifice. He was about to break the building down and not worried about the other avengers. In the second movie he was the same except that this time when his wife was hurt he threaten to throw Captain America out if he didn't leave. The Hulk was just a mindless brute like in the MCU and the reason why Betty divorced Bruce was because of the Hulk. Speaking of I didn't really find Betty a nice woman in these films because of that. Thor, Iron Man, Wasp (Apart from the fact she looked too much like Hope Pym and had darker skin colour), Black Panther and Black Widow were just themselves. Speaking of Black Panther in the second movie we get introduced to him, I found this one just too bloody and brutal when a General stabbed his dad and when the General got stabbed a couple of times but wasn't even dying. I also found it just plain stupid that Iron Man was wearing the War Machine Armor. If you are an Avengers fan I would recommend you don't waste your money on these movies. You might be disappointed. My overall score 4/10 for both movies.

MBunge This cartoon is an adaptation of The Ultimates by Bryan Hitch and Mark Millar, a re-imaging of The Avengers that came out early in the 2000s. It's not much of an adaptation, however, because the makers of Ultimate Avengers decided to make their characters likable, or at least not have them be psychopaths and raging douchenozzles. But when you take away the vulgar, trashy, sensationalistic twists Hitch and Miller gave to Marvel's classic characters, the simple fact is there's not a lot left. And given that mimicking Millar's art style in animation would be a costly and time-consuming process, the result is a movie that looks like an episode of G.I. Joe or He-Man. It's brief enough and has plenty of action, but there's no reason for this to exist instead of a cartoon flick about Stan and Jack's original creation.In 1945, as World War II winds to a close in Europe, Captain America (Justin Gross) leads an assault on a secret Nazi base and discovers aliens working with the Third Reich on a missile. It's launched, but Cap takes it out and winds up frozen in a North Atlantic iceberg. 60 years later, Cap is cut out of the ice as a specimen to help Bruce Banner (Michael Massee) in his attempts to recreate the Super-Soldier serum. Cap revives, however, and finds himself charged by General Fury (Andre Ware) with leading a team of super-heroes against the alien threat that's still around. He's joined by Iron Man (Marc Worden), Black Widow (Olivia d'Abo), Giant Man (Nolan North), the Wasp (Grey De Lisle), Thor (David Boat) and, eventually, Banner as the unstoppable, uncontrollable Hulk (Fred Tatasciore). The team initially fails, only to rally together to stop an all-out alien assault and then subdue their berserk, Gamma-spawned teammate.The fight scenes here are not bad and certainly more violent than you get in any Marvel cartoons on TV. The animation isn't anything to write home about and the voice work is unexceptional. The best written part of the story is how it manages to explain every member of the cast while avoiding exposition overload.The bottom line is, though, this cartoon was made for a mainstream audience. Which means it excised the adolescent "edge" and Jerrry Springer-type behavior from Hitch and Millar's original comics. With that gone and Millar's stunning but static artwork replaced by yeoman animation, what's left is pretty humdrum. When someone isn't getting hit, shot or ray-blasted, it all feels like one of those Marvel cartoons from the 90s and not a particularly good episode.A fan of The Ultimates isn't going to find this a satisfactory version of the comics. People who don't know what The Ultimates are would probably enjoy an animated movie that stuck closer to the original Avengers characters and origin. As something that's neither fish nor fowl, Ultimate Avengers is okay but it's easy to see why this rendition never really caught on with the general public. Watch it if you want. You'd probably be better off picking up the trade collection of the Busiek/Perez Avengers reboot after Heroes Reborn. If you don't understand what that means, ask a comic book fanboy.

Neil Welch See, if you're not the sort of person who keeps up to date with all sorts of alternative continuities, then you won't have the vaguest idea of the significance of the "Ultimate" tag so, as far as I'm concerned (what with me not being that sort of person and all) I'm just going to consider the movie on its own merits.It is a tolerable super-hero animated movie telling an Avengers origin story, with a couple of reservations.One, the animation isn't always that great - there are times when you get a distinct whiff of what one might refer to as "TV animation." And, two, the voice casting (and character design) for Bruce Banner is spectacularly bad. Neither the look nor the voice convince and, what's worse, they don't fit each other.Apart from that, it's OK. But no better.

disdressed12 this is a pretty good animated movie.it might be a bot too intense for younger kids,but it should be OK for older preteens.some of the fights are amazing,but there's also some drama,which is handled well.i like the choice of villain for the movie.i thought it represented a very dangerous threat,and the filmmakers presented it in a credible way.i also liked the great mix of characters with different skills and abilities.plus,the movie highlights the value of friendship and team work,so there is a bit of a lesson there.it's not preachy though.the movie is short,(less than 75 minutes)but there's a lot packed into those minutes and the movie doesn't suffer from the short running time.for me there were only two real drawbacks to the movie.one is that one or two of the voices don't seem to fit their characters very well.most of them do though.in fact,some of them are brilliant.the other minor complaint i have is that the movie does start of very slow,and takes a bit of time to get going.but once it gets going,it doesn't stop until the end.over all ,this was a fun and entertaining movie.7/10
