Marvel fans with the Marvel Cinematic Universe taking a very saver dip interms of quality I thought that i'd take a look back at one of the earliest times that earths mightiest heroes gathered together for a film. I will very much that this film is the film that got me into the The Avengers team and the first animated Marvel movie that I ever bought and so then join me as I review the film that brought earths mightiest heroes together for the first time in animated film form with the film in question being called simply just "Ultimate Avengers: The Movie" enjoy.
The plot of this film is when a bunch of aliens attack a SHIELD satellite Nick Fury is tasked with putting together a team that can withstand the enemy threat but the team might also have a traitor in there midst. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us om this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK at best since this films plot is fairly engaging but at the same time it's also a pretty boring plot as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Justin Gross as Steve Rogers / Captain America and Marc Worden as Tony Stark / Iron Man. Also starring in this film is Andre Ware as Nick Fury , James Arnold Taylor as Bucky Barnes , Grey DeLisle as Janet Van Dyne-Pym / Wasp , Nolan North as Hank Pym / Giant-Man , Dave Boat as Thor , Olivia D'Abo as Natalia Romanov / Black Widow , Fred Tatasciore as Hulk and Edwin Jarvis , Michael Massee as Bruce Banner , Nan McNamara as Betty Ross and James K. Ward as Herr Kleiser.
Now then inters of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Altho given the amount of great voice acting talent in this film I did expect the acting to be alot better but sadly due to this films poor script not giving the cast anything to work with interms of their characters personalities we can;t get great or even good performances because of the fact that this films script just won't allow for it.
Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Dong Woo Animation Co.. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad altho I did hate all of the shading that all of the characters got which was very distracting and just wasn't needed at all.
This film is very loosely based of off the first six issues of the 2002 comic book The Ultimates and while this film does in deed make some changes thew core story is still there. Altho I would have liked it if some of the character arcs were the same since there was no need for Tony Stark to keep his identity as Iron Man a secret where as in the book everybody knew who that he was Iron Man and he had to deal with that and that is something that could have made for an interesting character arc in this film.
Speaking of making changes this film changes up the characters of Hank Pym since in the film he has some anger issues and is a bit an egomaniac. Where is in the comic book he;s all of that plus he;s drunk and he abuses his wife and those are things that are he has to overcome over the course of the book where as in this film he doesn't overcome anything and as such the character seems like a watered down version of the comic book version which like I said had a much more interesting character arc and that would have made this version of the character seem alot more interesting.
While I do like that we get to see the team initially not like each other that doesn't excuse the fact that the film itself is just plain boring. Wit nothing really happening for a large portion of the films running time which is a shame because when we do get something actually exciting or actually interesting in this film we get scenes like Captain America seeing himself on a TV screen thus further highlighting the fact that he is a man out of time or the scene where Black Widow says that she'll gladly follow Captain America on any mission but those good scenes don't make up for the fact that the rest of the film is just straight up boring.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eleven minuets and twenty one seconds. Which to this films credit this film does use the most of it's running time however with that being said tho this film should have been alot longer since this film just feels like it was a huge set up for Ultimate Avengers 2: Rise Of The Panther and as such this film just feels like your catching a feature length trailer for another film but I will say that this film does have some really good pacing to it.
So now then since this is an action film that means that I have t actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films action making good use of showing us what the team can do when they work together however sadly there's not really enough action sequences in this film which is a shame because when we do get an action sequence it is genuinely quite cool to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall while this film might be the first time that we saw earths mightiest heroes appear together in an animated film it's still not that good of a film since it is a pretty dull and rather boring film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all f the good and as well as all of the and things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Database fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
