Interesteg What makes it different from others?

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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

O2D While it's just another origin story, I actually enjoyed this movie. I wish Marvel could make a movie that wasn't an origin story but whatever.

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.

Robert W. A new trend has emerged that initially and for the most part excited me. Taking the big budget explosive world of comic books and heroes and animating them into movie format so that we can enjoy these heroes without waiting years and years to see the same brought to live action. Unfortunately here is the problem that plagues some of them including The Ultimate Avengers, and perhaps moreso than most. These comic book stories, and characters are often epic! That's part of the reason they make such great franchises like Superman, Batman, X-Men, Spiderman etc. So for them to take these type of story that could potentially cover three or four films and jam them into one animated feature than can be even less than the typical hour and a half is ludicrous and will feel like one big elongated trailer missing so much back story, details and character development, all of which can be done in animation...Up, Wall-E, Toy Story, any Disney classic film etc. The Ultimate Avengers tries to jam origin stories, with some sort of epic mini series all jammed into one tiny film. It jumped around, and bounced between ideas and characters and left me completely confused annoyed and bored.The one issue with The Ultimate Avengers that isn't an issue is the voice cast. Although I will agree with several reviewers that Justin Gross was a little young sounding for Captain America/Steve Rogers. However, the voices worth mentioning that did an excellent job were Michael Massee, Olivia d'Abo, Marc Worden (who was really the best and this was his first of four performances as Tony Stark/Iron man thus far for him. Worden is a veteran in voice acting so he holds his own easily. Andre Ware is also excellent as Nick Fury however he's being type casted without knowing it because they obviously wanted him to sound as much like Samuel L. Jackson as possible to tie this disaster in with the far superior Iron Man films and future Avengers films.The amazing thing to me is how much of a minority I am in when referring to this film. It would seem that Marvel fans and comic fans everywhere mostly rave about this movie. But is that because this is currently the only way to see The Avengers? It is so rushed and slapped together and I am disappointed that director Curt Geda didn't do a better job putting this together. He has plenty of experience doing this having worked on plenty of animated films and TV Shows including comic book characters. Here is my general analysis. I am a comic fan although I'm a DC kid, always have been and always will be, but I am always for a great Marvel story but this isn't it. They slap it together and skip over key areas that would make the film...interesting. I almost always watch a sequel but I am having trouble forcing myself to watch the second installment of this which was forced out only months following this. I see a scary pattern. 5/10
