2.0 out of 5 stars "Ultimate'-ly disappointing, April 6, 2007

By	Cary S. Ashby (Sandusky, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not sold on the edgier concept of Marvel Comics' "Ultimate" titles. However, I truly enjoyed reading the trade paperback that collects issues 1-6 of "The Ultimates" (four stars out of five), which is based on The Avengers. The story significantly tweaked the team's origins, but gave older readers a basis of comparison to earlier adventures.

The comics and movie don't differ too much. In the film, SHIELD military commander Nick Fury (voiced by Andre Ware) assembles The Avengers to take down an alien threat. Each of the heroes (except Captain America) show contempt for Fury, but the writers don't explain why there is bad blood.

The team, in its first mission, lives up to Fury earlier calling them "showboaters ... who won't take orders from me or anyone else" after they fail to stop an alien from sabotaging a remote military base.

The Avengers' confrontation with The Hulk is more violent than, but just as "fun" as, the published version. The heroes coordinate their efforts under Cap's leadership, but the writers again "drop the pen" by not explaining the sudden change in motivations.

The reason for The Hulk's comics rampage is downright silly since Banner is enraged enough to turn into the super-powered monster because his estranged girlfriend is dating Freddie Prinze Jr. In the movie, Banner says he can control The Hulk while battling the aliens. The battle ends with the cliché of beauty calming the beast.

Sadly, the "Ultimate Avengers" creators commit the most unforgivable cinematic sin: It's forgettable and leaves me longing for the live-action Avengers and Captain America films being developed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Half Ultimate..., February 27, 2006

By	Darth Fluffy (Hoth) - See all my reviews

The second part is coming out in july which will feature Black Panther. Bit of a PG rating. little more than the usual saturday morning stuff. Animation not choppy like I expected. What are the chances of seeing She Hulk? I luv chicks with green eyes. I want Shulkie. I luv Shulkie.
