Eh

The story of the film was very lacking and the hulk sub-plot was completely pointless. The last 5 minutes containes the team trying to put down the hulk? August 4, 2008

BEST MARVEL ANIMATED YET !!

I own all four animated Marvel movies (Iron Man - Dr. Strange - Avengers) and this one is the best by far ! Not only does it move on from explaining the origin of each superheroe like the others -which of course was a necessary thing to do since not everyone is a Marvel connaisseur - it also teams up the avengers in a smashing way for non-stop action ! Pity they had to kill one the minor charachters at the end but it did give it a dramatic turn one wouldn't expect from these kind of non-rated films.

The animation is near-perfect, razor-sharp picture, great colors and all and the sound, if lacking a little bottom end for the sound effects like explosions, gunshots , thuds and thumps on the 2.0 mix is superb anyway, and mega-loud to boot !

Please Marvel Studios keep pumping these highly collectable little pieces of animated superheroe-action !!! August 2, 2008

I have come to respect Captain America and Thor...

Wow, I really enjoyed this animated movie! I wasn't expecting much, but wow this was really good! The animation was great, wasn't all blocky and annoying. I wish they would have explained a bit more of the past for other characters, and the movie could have been a but longer, but hey, I still really liked this alot. Being a Iron Man fan, was one of the reasons I got this, because he was in it. I really never have liked Captain America & Thor, but after this I do. I thought the voice acting was pretty good, the story was good as well. Can't wait to watch the second Ultimate Avengers! July 12, 2008

Rock'em Sock'em Hulk Smashing Action!!!

I really do not care what other reviewers here say, I personally think this is a great little DVD. It has my favorite character of all-time, Iron Man, and also making a rare appearance in an animated cartoon, is the god of thunder himself, Thor. The story is nothing extraordinary, but the plot moves along at a great pace and has plenty of action. Of course The Hulk steals the show at the end when he destroys everything in sight and no one can stop him.

Captain America is discovered frozen in ice and is revived. Not because SHIELD misses him and the world needs a hero, but because the alien threat that was aiding the Nazis in World War II are back and they need Captain America's help. On a side note SHIELD also needs Captain America's DNA to create more super soldiers, because no one could figure out how to replicate him. Dr. David Banner is entrusted to lead the program, but unknown to everyone, he is really working on a way to control The Hulk, and he thinks Captain America's DNA is the key.

General Fury recruits attempts to recruit a team to battle the aliens, but no one seems interested, not Iron Man, Thor, or Giant Man, but eventually they come together. However they blow their first assignment because no one wants to take orders from Captain America, instead of being a team, they all work on their own. This causes the aliens to steal all of SHIELDS data and get away.

The final fight has the aliens attacking the city. The Avengers are fighting them off pretty good, but it is The Hulk that flattens them and their ships. The Hulk goes on a rampage and no one can stop him, not even Thor. Hulk throws Thor and then actually picks up his hammer to use against him, Iron Man is beaten until he looks like an old tin can, Captain America gets thrown all over the place, Giant man gets a broken knee and is choked. WASP goes into Hulks ear to distract him long enough for a sedetive to be administered, and it still takes Dr. Banner's pretty assistant to finally calm him down.

So if you are looking for a good comic book type story with plenty of action, I highly recommend this. Great to watch with the kids. My daughter always laughs when Iron Man is flying and Giant Man comes from behind a building and says 'Hello there' and swats him down to the street. May 21, 2008

Good stuff

Ultimate Avengers stays as close to the source material, "The Ultimates" as possible for a movie that also has to be suitable for kids. Captain America's WWII scenes are worth the price of the movie and the battle with the Hulk is a smashing climax. If you enjoy the Marvel heroes, you'll like Ultimate Avengers. May 13, 2008
