Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Terryfan I recently pick up the Ultimate Avengers Collection on Blu Ray I had the first Ultimate Avengers on DVD but I didn't know what happened to that copy however. There were three movie in the set I brought and for 9 dollars I couldn't pass it up.Now when I watched the DVD copy back when I had it I had hoped for a good film but what I got was more or less a disappointment. But I put the movie on my list of films to give a second chance.Watching the movie again I have to say there were some things to make it worth watching however is it a perfect movie? No but here is what's strong about it.The animation is superb that's what I was drawn to most for this motion picture for it excellent animation values it were close to what you would see in a movie made for the theater. The characters look very good and the backgrounds give you that feel of actually being in a Marvel Comic Book. The animation is good enough to look at the movie. The voice acting is good as well and they pick talented actors to play the characters we know and love. Captain America/Steve Rogers (Voiced by Justin Gross), The Wasp/Janet Pym (Voiced by Grey Griffin), Bruce Banner/The Hulk (Voiced by Michael Massee and Fred Tatasciore), Iron-Man/Tony Stark (Voiced by Marc Worden), Black Widow/Natalia Romanoff (Voiced by Olivia d'Abo) Thor (Voiced by David Boat), Nick Fury (Voiced by Andre Ware) Giant Man / Hank Pym (Voiced by Nolan North), and Dr.Betty Ross (Voiced by Nan McNamara) each actor makes the film interesting with their performances and they give the characters depth.The main problem I have with the film is that the story didn't feel like it was all it should be while it was interesting and had a plot that hold your interest it just didn't feel like it was work out like it should have while they did work on the character development the film feel like it was rush.But after given it a second chance I have to say the animation is the selling point of the film but if you're a fan of Marvel you will enjoy itI give Ultimate Avengers an 7 out of 10

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.

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

Mars Ares I first heard of this movie when i bought Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I saw the trailer for the second movie, and i found it interesting. I bought the first movie, this one, to give it a chance, and in all honesty i was very surprised. The animation is top notch, the music is great (Thor's theme is amazing), and its one of the characters are all well done. Aside from a few goofs, and the lack of screen time for Thor and Hulk, it was an okay movie. Now here comes the in depth criticism:Animation: 4/5. Its very well done. There are a few parts, like when before the last battle, Widow tosses that rifle to fury and it suddenly appears from his hand, as if it weren't thrown at all, that weren't animated perfectly, but thats the kind of stuff that no one ever notices.Voice Acting: 5/5. All actors did their jobs perfectly well. Each of the voices fit, and not a single one screwed up. The best actor of all was David Boat, Thor's voice actor. He did a marvelous job, and if they ever make a Thor movie, I hope he reprises his role.Story-line: 3/5. Although the theme of the movie, an alien invasion, is drastically overused, UA's story line is very good for a 70 minute flick. It doesn't feel rushed at any time, and leaves no things unexplained. Screen Time for characters: 3/5. Most of the movie seemed to focus on Black Widow, Giant Man, the Wasp, and Captain America. The others seemed to just show up and actually do something during the last battle. It really angered me to see Thor just have like 4 minutes of actual fighting, and the rest of his screen time devoted to dissing Fury's team. But hey, nothing is perfect.And here's the last part. While some people believe that the movie's characters should've been more 'Ultimate' Versions that Earth 616 versions, I say they shouldn't complain. Why ?? The movie is called 'Ultimate Avengers', not the Ultimates, and not the Avengers. So its obvious that there will be more 616 than ultimate. Especially since people are more familiar to the 616 versions than the new 'Ultimate' series.All in all, i recommend this title to anyone who likes super-heroes, and is a firm Avengers fan. It delivers as promised, and the sequel is just as good.
