The first Ultimate Avengers movie was decent, but ended just when things were really starting to pick up. I was hoping the sequel would be better, but it's pretty much more of the same. The alien invaders are back, and they're still kinda generic and uninteresting. Voice acting is decent, but I never really got attached to these heroes like I wanted to. I suppose the looser guidelines on violence should appeal to older fans like me, but when the story is bland like it is here, the violence just comes off as a forced attempt to be 'edgy.' There was one twist in the ending though that caught me by surprise.
I wish they'd made this a full tv series, giving the creative team time to work out the kinks. UA2 will give you enough of a superhero fix, but it won't leave you satisfied. |
