Editorial Reviews

A world in crisis. Age-old enemies on the verge of attack. A mighty team is recruited, and Earth's ultimate hero is sought to lead them- Captain America. Unfortunately, he's been frozen in ice for over sixty years. Inspired by Marvel's best-selling books, "The Ultimates," this is the extraordinary story of six very independent heroes who, like it or not, must fight as one to save the world. Little did they know that their biggest threat would emerge from within their very own ranks- The Incredible Hulk!

5.0 out of 5 stars Do I like mega violence? Yes. Does the Hulk supply it. A tad. April 2, 2008

By Ken Jensen

Format:DVD

I tell you what...get this if you're a fan of the Hulk alone. That in itself is reason enough to see this movie. I have forever loved all that the Hulk represents and how he rolls. But he about lost his mind in this movie! I loved it!!! Beyond that, good plot, beautiful fantasy cartoon babes abound, and as a Marine, I appreciated how Captain America and the military were portrayed as they went into battle against Nazis and space aliens in WWII. C,mon...space aliens, dream babes, Nazis, and the Hulk...what're you waiting for? Relax the literary critic inside you and have some fun. Go. Rent.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable April 27, 2006

By Steven Beckmann

Format:DVD

I grew up during the 70's and was an avid comic book junkie (as weere most kids my age). The kid in me still gets excited to heard about a new Marvel movie. That's probably why I liked this movie even though there were a few things that bugged me:

- Bruce Banner was potrayed as an whiney, little rat-faced man. He wasn't like this in the comic book, why now?

- Thor seemed more like a alchoholic hippie. Always drinking his mead and trying to save whales. A "Hero" not interested in the wars of man. What's with his hammer having a blade on one end? I know Marvel revamped most of it's characters quite a while back, but if I remember correctly it's referred to as the HAMMER of Thor, not the AXE of Thor. This makes me think of how DC ruined Aquaman.

- Henry Pym was about as arrogant and self-centered as they come. He blamed everyone else for his mistakes. While I remember him as being arrogant this was went overboard. I did though, like the part of the movie where he puts on his old Ant Man helmet.

Overall, it's worth getting if you do not expect it to strictly follow the comic books of your childhood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Superhero Movie March 8, 2006

By R. Wolfe

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I don't know what some of these people are whining about. This is a great product with excellent animation and a compelling story. I suspect this flick will suffer review-wise from fanboys with an imaginary stake in the final product who are groaning because they would have changed some aspect or another if--magically--Marvel had only let THEM do the movie instead of Avi Arad and friends, who have consistently brought us some truly great superhero material over the past several years.

It's an animated superhero flick. It harkens back stylistically to the Spiderman the Animated Series, though it's more crisp and the colors are more vibrant. It's not Japanese anime art, though, I'll give you that. It's American cel animation and it looks on par with anything impressive that's come out of that market. It's about 70 minutes long, but it is satisfying and doesn't leave you feeling like you got short-changed. There is a lot going on and quite a few characters to bring together--all while ramping up the conflict in this story. They do a good job multitasking with these challenges so the film doesn't suffer from boring beginning syndrome. The fight choreography is exciting and the sparing use of integrateed CGI in the 2D cel animation that dominates fits right in.

I haven't read comic books in many years, so I'm sure that this movie creates something of a new continuity in some ways (I know Nick Fury of SHIELD was not a black man, for one thing--one thing which, while possibly an unnecessary change obviously meant to inject some diversity, really didn't bother me). So if you're all about the Ultimates comic this is supposedly based on, I'm sure you'll find some offense. However, it's all good with Marvel, just like every other continuity change that has riddled all comic book companies forever always were and will be. They're par for the course, and nothing here is glaring or in the face of the spirit of the heroes focused on.

Before seeing the movie, I was not psyched about the particular heroes focused on besides Cap and Iron Man, actually. Giant Man has never really captured my imagination. Even so, he was really great, and I'm now a fan. Same goes for the Wasp. Hulk was more interesting the way they did it than he could have been; he wasn't all "Hulk smash" and conveniently Banner gets mad at the right place at the right time. There was a running thread there that worked well, and they even did it without stepping all over Hulk's usual deal (because Hulk smash is still awesome . . .). Banner got a slightly different treatment, but it worked for me in the end.

There's a sequel in the works, and not too far off in the future it will be in stores. This movie does not need a sequel to feel complete, and the sequel supposedly will fly on it's own even if you haven't seen this flick first.

Look, for the like 12 or 14 bucks this thing's gonna cost you, it's a great buy. If it was even 25 bucks or so, I might say wait and see if you can rent it or see a friend's copy before you invest. But this thing comes with extras, and it's a great ride for a cheap price. All gravy. The feature with the long time writers and artists was great. The pop-up video style factiods you can turn on are nice, though absolutely riddled with typos and spelling errors. (It's almost embarassing, really.)

I am a big fan of the DC animated stuff like the box sets of Batman the Animated Series, Superman's series, and I'm all over Justice League when it comes out. I don't seem to be too excited by the new The Batman series, but I'm probably going to pick up Batman Beyond when it hits. If you're like me, you love this stuff. There was not much Marvel going on DVD-wise in this genre up until now, but they hope to change that apparently, and if this is how they started things off, I can't wait to see how awesome a whole movie on Iron Man is going to be. This had a real Marvel feel that I didn't realize I missed lately with all the DC stuff I own now.
