See, if you're not the sort of person who keeps up to date with all sorts of alternative continuities, then you won't have the vaguest idea of the significance of the "Ultimate" tag so, as far as I'm concerned (what with me not being that sort of person and all) I'm just going to consider the movie on its own merits.It is a tolerable super-hero animated movie telling an Avengers origin story, with a couple of reservations.One, the animation isn't always that great - there are times when you get a distinct whiff of what one might refer to as "TV animation." And, two, the voice casting (and character design) for Bruce Banner is spectacularly bad. Neither the look nor the voice convince and, what's worse, they don't fit each other.Apart from that, it's OK. But no better.

this is a great animated film and is the first that marvel released the story is true to the comics with only little chances made for movie reasons. the animation in this movie is spot on and it makes the story more believable. the actors do a good job in this movie and they really get into there characters it looks like they had lots of fun while recording it it's really good to see all my favourite marvel characters there in one movie. It's also a good thing to see captain America's human side and to see that he does get hurt emotionally i also like the fact that they touched on tony starks alcohol problem and i also like the fact that no one no's who iron mans's true indentitity is which is great. Overall this was a great solid animated movie which was all done in 2d animation and using very little cgi.

I had heard in advance that this animated feature suffered from poor animation and stiff writing.After finally catching it, I whole-heartedly DISAGREE.This is a fantastic, adrenaline-pumping superhero story. It's a perfect standalone feature, which, for the uninitiated, serves as a perfect jumping-on point to meet some of Marvel Comics' classic characters (for a further immersive experience, I recognize JLU, which utilizes over a decade of continuity to enrich it's series stories.)With wonderful vocal performances, a sharp screenplay, and fantastic characterization, Ultimate Avengers is a wonderful new entry in the recent field of animated superhero features.Do yourself a favor and check it out. I'd even recommend it's crossover appeal for non- animation/superhero fans who are just looking for a kick-ass action flick.Oh, and to comic snobs complaining about the adaptation, it's called Ultimate Avengers for a reason. It's the fresh-start continuity of The Ultimates with the brighter, more heroic personalities of the original Avengers, which makes it accessible for all ages (something tells me that The Hulk killing hundreds of innocent people and Hank Pym beating his wife would not have gone over so well in animated form.)For a fresh, modern look at the superhero team, Ultimate Avengers is a spectacular film.

OK, so the movie is written and geared towards 12 year olds and I'm (cough) a little older than that. However it would have been a lot better if they tightened up the writing. The story line needed more about who/what/why on the alien menace to make you actually care and the dialogue lacked any subtlety or nuance to it. The Hulk sub-plot consumed too much time, which makes me wonder if he the was the primary enemy or the aliens. Overall the film is OK to watch if you're a fan. However it's too bad they didn't hire another writer to spent a couple weeks giving a cleaner story and shaping up some of the dialogue. Could have been a lot better.
